Yet another DD thread

[JET]

I know there have been several, but I am looking for a DD also. I have a 35 mile commute each way, so having a decent ride would be nice. I will probably have to go auto, but might consider a stick. I get stuck in traffic quite a bit, so a stick might suck. I am really leaning towards AWD and something with some pep. I have looked at a few already, but still have some more on the list to check out. Open to suggestions on things I may have missed. Target price is $25k with low miles.

So far I looked at:

2012 G37x premium - Decent interior, not as nice as the CTS. Very good power and sharp handling.

2011 A6 - interior was nice, but nothing spectacular. Nice power, good ride. Car was a little big for me too.

2011 CTS4 - this was supposed to be the 3.6, but was a 3.0. Really liked the interior and exterior. Ride was nice, a little low on pep but not horrible. I am going to try to find a 3.6 performance version so it has the bigger wheels, engine and better suspension.

Still on the list:

Evo X - on the list, still not sure if I want a MR or GSR. I want to test drive both. I know the interior won't be up to snuff with the rest of this group, but 400whp would make up for it.

335ix - Have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth after my last BMW, but willing to give it a test drive. Not real fond of the looks.

2009 Legacy GT - Not sure about it, but going to check one out in person.

So, AWD and it needs to be either turbo or over 300hp if it is n/a. Would prefer under 4,000lb. Good looking and nice interior is fairly important too.
