Someone Give Me......

Someone give me some suggestions for a new car. Here is what I am driving now... Mazda 6S fully loaded.
Here is what I have to have

Sunroof or convertable
AUTO-STICK
4 wheel drive
Anti-lock
2003 and up.

Any suggestions?
Thinking of a Suby or an Audi, but I would have to buy used. No more new cars for me.

Are you looking for something more luxury based? Or performance based? Around $20k? $30k? That might help narrow down the suggestions a bit...

you might want to talk to milkman about his ride. AWD suby might be what you need for 20k. I don't believe any have the autostick though. I believe they are either auto or manual.

Yeah I know. I looked at them. I wish the TSX was all wheel drive.
I am going to do a search for all wheel drive cars.

You might be able to find an Audi A3 quattro. Those get pretty expensive though. The base models aren't too bad.

I know I know. It is hard to find those all in one that are affordable.
Like the new Lexus would be great, but I don't want to pay that much for it.
Suby would be good, but expensive and Stick
CRAP!

i think you would be well off in a tsx. i got to drive my buddies for a week while he was out of town and they are hella fun. good gas milage, enough power to have some fun, not all wheel drive but they are fwd if it is snow or rainy weather that you are worried about.

Yeah I am in Minnesota, so the snow sucks.
THis guy I was talking to says that the A4's are the best car he has ever driven.
I personally love the TL's and the TSX isn't bad either!
