New or used is okay. New priced up to low 30s, or late model used, mid 20s. I am a single person so I do not need an extremely practical car but I do want one that is functional in rain and snow. I plan on owning one car. My...

Front wheel drive preferred, or all wheel drive acceptable. Looked at BMW 5 series, Mercedes E class, and Lexus GS. Still doing research.

Pickup/acceleration, road holding, comfort. (V6 or Turbo). Drove Subaru Legacy V6 and really liked it. Wondering about 2014 Chrysler 200 (new) which is available to me for about $22,000 (plus tax). Tried a few 4 cylinder cars (Camry, Sonata) and did not like them as they lacked acceleration/pickup. Camry V6,...

My top 2 choices are the 2005 Honda Civic HX Coupe CVT Transmission and the 2005 Volkswagen Golf TDI. The main reason these are my top 2 is because of the fuel efficency these cars are supposed to get.
