I like the looks of those but after owning 2 turbos and a supercharged vehicle before, I'm hesitant to get another. I like my N/A engines.

4 doors with a stick:

Mazda 6 or 3
Ford Focus
Most Subaru's
VW's
most Kia's

I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of.

Narrow it down further... demand RWD or AWD.
Admit it...we're all so over FWD.

People should be "over" AWD in the South as well. OK there are a couple days of freezing rain, but come on. Saps fuel economy.

I would also suggest Subaru, but since you have ruled them out, then I have no idea what to recommend. Everything else I was looking at, manual and AWD was out of my price range.

Damn you, Cadillac. Why did you have to offer the 6-speed manual on the ATS ONLY mated to the 2.0 Turbo?

I have to say, I'm liking the looks and specs of this car. Not sure what the wife would think, tho.

think lee is in the same boat we're in

wants a nice sedan, has some status, but is still sporty, and reliable

TL AWD w/ advanced pkg, Awd is supposed to handle better the plain FWD
Cadillac ATS

yeah D loves the specs, we're not serious to buy till next summer so no rush for us.

Like I said at the start - not buying right away. Just trying to see what manuals are out there that we should be considering. Hoping by then any known issues will be out there.
