Also, looking at the 13:1 compression ratio..... I know it is not a sports car engine.... mmmm........

Have you looked at Matrix, the price and engine specs falls into your criteria pretty good, it has MT and also more torque than the CX-5, lower ride height than the CX-5 thus I believe more fun to drive.

Wait!!! Did I hear 'my next hobby car'??

yah, mazda is like a japanese hyundai to me so im not a huge fan either...but they do make sort of fun to drive cars (i had a brand new Protege5 a long time ago for 6months before i sold it for a MINI

). and you're right about getting the fresh technologies and the first year bugs.

toyota is like a japanese buick (or olds... remember those? lol) to me so i dont like them at all. hahahahaha.

i hate the US toyota lineup.

so this leaves me with only a few choices for MT's and hatch. i dont want to get another Fit. my other choices would be a Golf/Cooper.

yep, im not selling my Z any time soon, but i save up for my cars in the background. i expect to keep my Z for at least 8-10yrs like how ive been keeping my G.

my G still looks brand new.

What is your budget? We got the SL which is the top line version and paid $21,500.00. BTW it is a 2012 with FWD and 6MT.

Juke is less expensive than CX-5, I thought you didn't consider it because it may be too small, but it's bigger than the Fit so I think it should be ok.

I drove the Juke around this past weekend, running errands with Mrs. Dr. onzedge. I love that vehicle. I can't wait to finish break-in period and get a decent exhaust on it.
