throwing this out there, and i know ill get shit for it, but i have been looking hard at the new hyundai sonata, and its worth a look.. i went and test drove a sonata SE, sport package basically, 18" wheels, 200HP, paddle shift, sport tuned suspension, tons of ammenities..
the car drove amazing well and had great power for a sedan.. and still gets 36 mpg... i am above and beyond impressed
it might be worth looking at for you. im seriosuly considering one at this point.
and if you want it with a little more pep and plush interior, they have a sonata limited 2.0T , two tone interior, navigation, 274hp turbo 2.0l, proximity key fob, push button start, heated front and rear seats, 400watt infinity stereo with sub.. etc etc.. they are loaded
really really nice cars.. i love the styling on them
