I’m going to be getting a company vehicle in a month or two so I don’t need to concern myself with gas mileage or practicality of my personal vehicle. So rwd, 2 seats, 10 mpg, is all ok. What would you guys get for 20k +/- if you didn’t have to worry about cargo room, fuel mileage, or going in the snow? I have a few ideas of what I am interested in but I don’t want to taint the results. I will give my thoughts later. ---
