So I like my car......But if its not for you, then an RL is a nice choice.

 

If you care about reliability, function, comfort, handling, performance, safety, and low cost of ownership get a 2005 Acura RL. On Cars.com they are going for $17k-$23k for average/low mileage.

A used BMW is going to be a bitch to keep maintained and it might be hard to find one with the options you want since air in the tires isnt standard when new.

An NSX would be great but I don't know how practial that is for everyday driving if you have a family, or live in a wet/snowy climate. The Suburu is a nice choice as well.

 

If you want something reliable, decently fast and has a 6 speed (even 4 doors if you look hard enough) you should check out a 7.5 Gen Accord. (2006-2007). I'm sure you could find a low mileage one in great shape for well under $20k.

 

Actually that may be difficult because they didn't sell many. I do love the Carbon Bronze Pearl/Black leather and navi equipped 6spd 4 doors though.

But Im not a fan of the rear of the mmc. I liked/or was just used to the 03-05 rear end.

 

Volvo S60R.

 

What a fun car

 

plus they aren't like camrys and accords around here every 5 feet.

 

i would have to say the 09 accord in coupe or sedan with v6 6mt decked out
id take that over any other car in the same range.
