Update:
I bought an '06 Mazdaspeed6.
Looks like I might be doing a fair amount of snowy winter driving this year, and since I don't own anything that I want to see salt, I'm looking for something cheap to use for this purpose.
However, I don't do well with boring...so I prefer to avoid Corolla/Camry/etc.
Current thoughts-
2008+ CTS 3.6DI (unsure on long term reliability, but they are findable for 6-8k)
First gen Speed3
Saab 9-3 2.0T (super cheap)
Cobalt SS
V6 Accord w/6 speed?
Acura TSX (or whatever the manual trans optioned ones are)
Volvo S60R
The CTS-4 (AWD CTS) likes to strip the input/output shafts on the transfer case, so that's out. I don't mind RWD.
I'm open to a wide range, just prefer to have something I haven't owned yet.
So, collective knowledge of ATG....any thoughts?
