Resize that pic! lol

See you Saturday, I'll prolly be lazy and sleep in so I'd think around lunch time I'll head to your dealer to start the day.

Yeah, for my daily, the last thing I wanted was another 5-speed go car. It's nice having something different, that way, when I get the itch to go fast and take cloverleafs at 55mph, I jump in the GSX. When I want heated seats, power everything and 14mpg, I drive the Hoe-hoe. :D

I called down there this afternoon. They told me they had an appointment on it this evening. I'll see if it got sold tomorrow morning, or of it's still available.

How about a Hyundai Genesis for a change in mind?

If you're referring to the 2.0T coupe or the v6 that you can slap e bay turbos on an be well over 400WHP - they're both RWD.

Whatever you buy, please don't slap on an eBay turbo.

So, drove 4 different cars at White bear with Bobby. Thanks again for showing them to me, helped give me some ideas and narrow the search a bit!

Drove:
2012 Ford Focus
2011 hyundai sonata
2011 toyota corolla
2011? mazda 3 (2.5L w/6 speed)

I will say this, I was the most unimpressed with the mazda, it was sporty but for what I want it was more expensive than the others and the interior was pretty meh.

The corolla was very basic, about what I'd expect out of an econobox for the 14.5k or whatever it was. It seemed like a very good DD though. However made me realize I want a bit more out of a 2012 car.

The focus had lots of stuff, blue tooth and sync system. Honestly, this car was pretty fun and peppy and gets 40mpgs! It has a twin clutch too and frankly, the only downfall was its small, and a bit cramped. The interior was pretty good otherwise, like quality.

The hyundai surprised me, seemed very good. Gets 35mpgs, plenty of room, blue tooth and drove rather nice. Still peppy enough for a 4 cyl. It had a USB jack so that is cool too. I liked it a lot actually and loved the space in there.

So, still not sure what the heck I want, but the focus and hyndai sonota were pretty solid and would be good contenders for what I want I think.
