Hey all. Car nut. I'm sure you are, too. I wanna get some advice on next buy, so saying hello. Family of cars include: Porsche Cayenne GTS 6-Speed and a VW Routan Minivan for the wife. Just sold my 1986 Porsche 911 Targa hot-rod - cuz I the market was soo hot and I wanted to cash in a bit. Anyway. I need to start putting on some serious miles on a daily basis and the Cayenne is getting less then 15MPG. Ouch. My budget is from $10K to $25K.

I'd like:
at least 25MPG
at least 4 seats
wind in the cabin (sunroof at least, pillarless might be ideal), but probably not a full convertible
Reliable
Unique
Safe
Manual transmission or auto
Wagon back might be cool
Good phone interface / nav system

Couple things I'm thinking about:
2006-2010 Saab Sportcombi Aero Wagon
2013-ish Lexus CT 200h
Some pillarless Mercedes coupe, but dont know IF one fits the bill
Audi A/S5 2011-ish(?)
BMW 135??
2010-ish Mustang convertible V6?

Other ideas? Thanks!

 

Welcome to 6Speed! If you ever need anything for your GTS or Routan please don't hesitate to let me know! Sad to see that you sold the Targa, but yes they're really desired right now. If you're wanting a wagon, an Audi B8 A4 Avant might be fun for you. You can throw an APR tune on those guys for additional ponies. The fuel economy is also within your area. Good luck with your search. Let us know what you end up picking up.
