Speaking of %'s, I'm 90% sure that my 12 y/o Accord DD will need 100% replacement this summer. I've been windowshopping for mid 00's RL's, TL's, and MDX's for a while.  Also I have a closeted curiosity about the Volkswagen CC and Touareg -- A Touareg would be a great compromise towards regaining some of the utility I had years ago with my Ford Ranger but VW's quality reputation scares me, warranted or not.  I need to research them more.  I also like the idea of an early 00's Mini in a "big girl/moped" kind of way. Don't see myself buying one but remain curious about how fun they'd really be.  :)  I'm pretty certain that I could live with an electric car as a daily driver and renting a dino oil burner for the eight times a year I road trip to Detroit, New York, or Canada, as long as it wasn't too compact car-looking or scream that I'm a smug Prius type.  (Ford e-Fusion looks interesting...)  Haven't done any window shopping at all for electric vehicles yet. 


So, for a car loving guy in the engineering/tech industry who's pretty up to date on a lot of things, I'm completely behind on modern DD type of options. Is kind of silly that I know 100x more about an early 90's Acura 2-seater than about what's been manufactured after 2007 that's reliable, sporty, comfortable, smart/fun/adult-looking, and not too deep into overly trendy styling cliches and overbearing electronic driver aids. I'm not one to ask "what kind of car should I consider" but I am curious what others have been buying since 2005 or so for new and pre-owned DD's under $25k, and their experiences with them?


Thx. TGIF !
