5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura.
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k.
