What vehicle to switch over to now?

NYSpeed Automotive
1

Long story short i can’t drive a five speed anymore. I have to switch to automatic. So all the cars gotta go.

What I need to do now is figure out what the next ride is going to be. What direction to go in from here. I’m very open to almost anything.

Here’s the search parameters:

No clutch pedal to operate.
15K or less
I need to be able to DD this all year round.
Four door
Preferably AWD/4WD but as long as the snow won’t give me issues in the winter with a good set of snows i’m open to anything.
2000 or newer year

Bonus if you can post a link to a car already for sale.

VW R32 DSG
E46 M3 SMG?

Volvo S40 T5. Keep 'em safe, AWD, 4 door, you and Geehee can drive around together…

Edit - 2005 is under 15k too.

S60R:

A3 with 2.0T/DSG >

6

Changed my vote. I forget these were under/around 15k now.

7

Hrmmm I’m very interested.

8

I dont know how fun a s60R would be with a slushbox…

Go drive an audi DSG trans… youd be amazed with just how smooth it is… and the a3 is a fun car to drive in AWD trim (or even a newer TT)

9

I would go with the EVO X fo sho

edit: 15k or lower, N/M

10

I was in the same boat and purchased a Mitsu Ralliart. Its about the same as an EVO MR 2008 but still has the trunk . I love the car and the paddle shifters even in sport mode it rev mates its downshifts.

or the like?

12

WRX autos are SO slow…

AUDIAUDIAUDI…

13

This is the way I’ve been thinking. I want to see what else is out there. I want to go in a new direction possibly.

You can get one of these for around 15k?

hrmm i didn’t know the six-speed SST is clutch pedal less. I might have to rethink everything.

With all the Audi’s going up for sale and it’s not quite a VW (let me fool myself) I’ve been considering that route more and more actually.

best of both worlds : http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=259416104&dealer_id=63876879&car_year=2005&rdm=1242110099393&num_records=25&model=LEGACY&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=2005&engine=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&certified=&fuel=&body_code=0&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=100&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=y&first_record=26&make=SUB&color=&keywords_display=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=14127&advanced=y&end_year=2010&pager.offset=25&transmission=Automatic&doors=&max_price=&cardist=66&standard=false

don’t buy an automatic… anything with DSG, SMG etc is what you want… so much more fun to drive even when you’re not manually shifting.

V70 R wagon is wayyy coooler.

I would totally rock that C32 but i bet maintenance is the suck. I always liked those cars.

18

Volvo’s are just that… Volvo’s. Boring, even the R models. Do not buy one.

19

I have a 99 Audi A6 with all of the major 100k done for 5000 and has the auto stick and quattro. Was a flordia car though

20

WRX w/ auto would be my choice…
