Re: New advice on buying a new car

Agreed, if you're set on a manual it's worth the drive to test it out. I still think test driving a Speed 6 would be worth your time as well. It's what my old roommate / best friend has for his DD. I love them. Nice looking car, decent power, manual tranny, interior is cleanly done (not weird race/rice seats and colors).

Also, I haven't priced them out, but I loved my Saab 9-3. It was a FWD 2.0 turbo, but they make them in awd now, but not sure if awd would be in your price range.
