Seeming how you're coming from a Avalon is size a requirement as well? I size isn't high on your lift what about either a GTI with the DCT(reated at 34 hwy) or a Focus ST? The ST is rated 32mpg highway. I think both of those could squeeze into your price bracket. I've only heard great things about both of them. A buddy of mine has a '12 GTI and loves it. I've driven it once and it's a really nice and sporty car. Not fast, but enough to play around with.

Hey guys/gals, I'm new to the cheers and gears thing but I've been around a few forums. Until recently I was only on vehicle specific sites(STLMustangs, MBWorld, and FordEscape.org). If you didn't already assume I've owned a mustang(2 actually. 2004 GT and 2003 Mach1), a 2006 MB c350, and currently own a 2013 Escape 2.0 AWD. In there somewhere I owned a 2003 Focus SVT but I was never part of a forum. My first car was a 1995 Chevy Beretta Z26..ans it's still in the fmaily as my brother drives it now. I'm also a member of bobistheoilguy forum and MotorTrend. I was actually invited over here from one of te MT guys. I looked around a bit and figured i'd give it a shot. The MT forum is so jacked it's hard to just have good ole car guy talk without it turning into fanboy vs fanboy. The reason I joined MT(and now here) in the first place because I got a new job back in July and I used to work in a shop, worked with guys, and talked about cars and stuff all day. Now I can't do that as I have an ofice job.. so you're all my car guys now!
