4 Door Sedans With Manual Transmission - Page 5

Lee, we were wasting some time yest. before a movie and stopped by at local CAD dealer

we both really liked the ATS, drove well, quiet, nice shifts, a little smaller inside then i had hoped. my head hit the roof in rear, and really only 2 full sized adults in the back.

we drove the V6, 321hp one. it was nice. $45,xxx

but yeah, we really liked the car

and the one we drove is prob. what we'll get if we get one. w/ the carbon fiber trim and red seats, man that thing was so "US", and i think ya;ll will really like it as well.

i comes in some "red" or black w/ the C/F trim, while i love black cars, they are impossible to keep clean. maybe a darkish grey would look nice.

Red seats? lol, if you're a chick. They'll fade to pink in a few yrs.

Where do you come up with this shit?

OK maybe the seat itself won't, but the cracks will be pink. Just like the cracks in black seats are gray.

asked a lady at daycare, would you recommend an A4...............long pause.............hmmm..........thats the answer, you take your chances.

thats what makes used ones such good values...people dump them because theyre afraid of repair costs

RACER X · 11-12-2012, 02:52 PM

or cuz they had probs. while owning it

she said it did something weird when it gets hot down here.

didn't delve into the prob.

I have no firsthand experience but Audi/VW vehicles are reputed to have electronics that rival Lucas.

most Kia's (like kia stlye and they seem decent inside, my bud has an Optima and it's super nice)

I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of.

Input above

I have to say, I'm liking the looks and specs of this car. Not sure what the wife would think, tho.

Can't stand this crap about the 2.0 in the Caddy. This is the same POS 2.0 I had in my HHR SS and the same one in the old Cobalt SS. The same ones they had tons of problems with. And the MPG isn't that great so don't get too excited.

They've come a long way since then and this 4 is a 272hp.

Still craptastic.
