it has to be a fun to drive car yet fairly boring so it hides in the background. i had a Fit 5MT and while it was fun to drive the seating position and pedal location (too close) was terrible for me and too damn slow... so got rid of it last year just as soon as my smaller kid could get in/out of my G on his own. max budget: $22K MSRP. i dont want to spend too much on this car as i want to save up for my next hobby car. |

Well, I must say that my new trans dont feel too great. Its very hard to get into 5th & 6th. It seems like the neutral gate slightly extends past the gates for 5th & 6th so it jams. I hope I explained that so its understandable. Why would this be!?!?!?! And if the trans is defective why didnt the tech notice. Aaarrrgggg, frustrating!

Definitely let the dealership know so it can be documented.

Also, looking at the 13:1 compression ratio..... I know it is not a sports car engine.... mmmm........ Have you looked at Matrix, the price and engine specs falls into your criteria pretty good, it has MT and also more torque than the CX-5, lower ride height than the CX-5 thus I believe more fun to drive. Wait!!! Did I hear 'my next hobby car'?? Quote:

toyota is like a japanese buick (or olds... remember those? lol) to me so i dont like them at all. hahahahaha. i hate the US toyota lineup. so this leaves me with only a few choices for MT's and hatch. i dont want to get another Fit. my other choices would be a Golf/Cooper. yep, im not selling my Z any time soon, but i save up for my cars in the background. i expect to keep my Z for at least 8-10yrs like how ive been keeping my G. my G still looks brand new. |

What is your budget? We got the SL which is the top line version and paid $21,500.00. BTW it is a 2012 with FWD and 6MT.

I drove the Juke around this past weekend, running errands with Mrs. Dr. onzedge. I love that vehicle. I can't wait to finish break-in period and get a decent exhaust on it.
