if your looking cars,
3-5 year old merc, BMW, or Audi, awd and diesel is an option here
1-2 year old Chrysler 300c for awd and some decent luxury
if you look at the golf look for a TDI
the rx-7 is sposed to be a good car, fun aswell

be easier if we knew what style of car you like
Where did you get this???

Most Kias are great for reliability. So says Consumer Reports back in November.

From this report (click here) :Hyundai and Kia continue to make reliable cars. The Hyundai Elantra and Tucson, and the Kia Sportage get top marks. The new Hyundai Genesis V6 is better than average; the V8 version is average. Only Kia’s Sedona minivan and Sorento SUV score below average.

Now, if you read that report, you will notice the European brands and Chrysler that you suggest all have relatively poor reliability and most of their models from them fare worse than average.

And the RX-7 is small, yet gets horrible fuel mileage for its size. And the last generation were very fragile. It is a performance car only but does not stand up to daily use, especially in rougher conditions.
