Yeah, I sort of wish I had gotten the TDI, but wanted the options of the SEL. Options won out, but the diesel would have been my preferred engine.

I got a TDI value package with a 6spd manual a few weeks ago.

I fricking love it. It hauls arse @54mpg and doesn't suck like a honda or toyota.

I do miss my manual in traffic


Got the automatic, but sport mode is fun. Pretty much only take it off during winter

I love every minute of mine except the 1-2 shift

I still can't get that mother fricker smooth unless I drive like I'm in an indy car race.

Wife's new company car is ford fusion, very nice ride. Challenger much better than charger IMO . I wouldn't buy a Chevy for $10

Keep shopping- are you opposed to non AMerican vehicles


No I'm definitely open to suggestions. There just aren't many foreign sedans that I like that are also in my price range.

I've seen a few of the new Focus ST's on the road, and they are pretty slick

I am about to get a 14 Charger. My 09 Charger drives great, but the MPGs aren't that great. It's been a reliable car

Don't get the Charger. They're shitty cars. To be honest, the Cruz is your best bet out of those three.

1. It's a Chrysler. My dad's good friend is a mechanic and he loves Chryslers. They put all 3 of his kids through college.

2. It's an "urban" vehicle. It's more likely to be stolen.

Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla,
Subaru Forester
Outback
Legacy
Impreza
XV Cross Tech

You need to start with a visit to Subaru- now owned by the owners of Infiniti and Acura- class people with excellent service

None of those are in the same class. And why not a Toyota Camry if you want a sedan?
