Need ideas for a new daily driver.
I will be starting a new job in a few months and i need a car i can drive customers or suppliers around in. I don't think the civic with stiff urethane mounts will leave the impression i am going for. I still want something fun to drive as i will be driving it every day. I will be driving it in the winter so AWD would be nice but not required. 250 or more HP would be nice and somewhat decent fuel economy. So far i have considered:
BMW 330xi (USED)
Saab 9-2x Aero (USED)
Subaru WRX (USED OR NEW)
Volkswagen Jetta TDU (USED OR NEW)
Volvo of some sort
Acura TSX or TL?
My budget is somewhere around $25k. I am looking for any comments, suggestions, or ideas. I am having some serious trouble deciding what i want.

Re: Need ideas for a new daily driver.
a volvo S60R is baller, AWD, decently quick, and they can be had for low to mid 20's for an 05/06.
obviously a TL is a great choice also.
a camaro is a great choice because it has an LS1 with 320HP and they get around 100MPG uphill. ask johnny

Re: Need ideas for a new daily driver.
mugen civic si sedan
they list for like $30k but the honda dealership by my house for some reason can't sell the sedans so the si sedans are like 18-19k and the one mugen sedan there is like 26k
but the coupes are like 23k and they only had one mugen coupe but it was like 33k
or get a couple year old jag for like 13k they can be had with a 5 speed and the v6 it pretty quick
and you would get so much *** driving a jag

Re: Need ideas for a new daily driver.
Will it be a daily driver kept stock or daily driver that eventually turns into a project car? I personally like the looks of the TSX. But what about a IS300? What about a Kia Rio? Julio and I drove a four door to Stevemodes and it got mad gas mileage and was good with the ladies......good on keeping them far far away. :P

Re: Need ideas for a new daily driver.
your going to want to go with the mazda 323: ruged, quick, durable, no matenaince required, goes almost anywhere, and is a beauty.
right now im selling this for 25k obo runs great, and is a blast to drive gets all the looks.
there are a few bads
lots of cracks in the windshield
rear passanger side shock is blown
original ignition is broke(no keys for doors or trunk)
manuel window rollers gone
hood as a gauge in it from previous owner running into truck hitch
bumpers a bit fuckored
but all in all this is a great car and will win the hearts of anyone who rides in it.
