OT - Vehicle Suggestions

[Mark_ab 5,000+ posts]

I'm having a terrible time deciding on a new vehicle. There are several restrictions on what the car can be, though; here they are.

1. Drivable all year (including winter)

2. Fairly decent gas milliage

3. Aesthetically pleasing

4. Under $15K Canadian (so, like a dollar sixty four American or so)

I have on my list of possibilities - VW Corrado, Mazda MX-6, BMW 325, Eagle Talon TSI AWD, Lexus ES300

Any help would be great.

I dunno...I think it's kinda ugly, so it's low on my list.

My mom had an Eagle about 5-10 years ago. We were on a trip down to Florida, and it broke down somewhere in Kentucky. Man that was a fun trip. Anyways,I like the BMW the best out of those listed. The Lexus is also very nice.

True, Contour SVT's are a decent car. Maybe a little too "family" for me, though (I'm very picky, and fickle!)

Well, regardless of the car I'm going to Brown Bread the heck out of it, with some of that liquid deadener on top. Are you refering to the acoustical advantages of it's dash/seat/etc layout? If so, I haven't seen the inside of one.

Iv always been a fan of the SHO taurus. More so the engine than the car. One of the best V6 on the market.
