Immediately? Nothing.
Eventually, once things get back to "normal" and she's making work trips up and down the east coast? Maybe a turbo 3? GTI? She really, really likes the CX-5 but is annoyed with the "up high" ness of it. Initially she liked it and I hated it. Over time she's much less enamored with it and I am just "meh" on it. It's a great trucklet, IMO better than anything else in its price range (and better than some more expensive stuff) but I really think small SUVs like this are just dumb. |

I've probably mentioned it before, but I drove a rental stick-shift CX-5 in Holland for a week and I loved it.

Hire clyde to do his Carvana thing for the CX-5? I would think you would get good money for it now?
I think GTI, Golf R, Veloster N, Civic Si, Mini would be your usual ones to consider and test drive? |

I can say for sure that the Golf R isn't on the list - way too expensive. The only car on the list I'd personally veto is the Mini - way too unrealiable and too much of a pain to work on. Neither of us think much of the Veloster and the Civic is just too ugly. If Honda ever brings the styling back out of insta-vomit territory I'd consider one. The Mazda 3 with a stick is definitely on the list. As is the 3 2.5 turbo, maybe? |
