I have about 13000 to get a new car...
What do you guys recommend?
I want comfort, quick(enough...my car now has 160 HP and that is good enough for me), good handling, and an impressive interior. Any ideas?

Acura RSX, just beneath 200 horespower w/ good handling. The interior is also regular acura-grade (really good).

Re: I have about 13000 to get a new car...
I actually looked at all those cars. The RSX all seems to be out of my price range. I thought about the Audi but the exterior styling of one I could afford is just too bland. I saw a nice Saab 9-3 however I have heard terrible things about their reliability. Is there any truth to it?

 GREAT cars. Handles like a GLOVE. Interior is simple but nice (perfect to me). Pretty quick...even with an AT. And, as a bonus, the BEST factory sound system I have EVER HEARD. Hands down, bar none. Acoustic Feedback System rules all. And, on a touch of a sad note, they're extremely safe cars. I had an '01 Prelude and, last thanksgiving night at 10pm, I hit a patch of water or ice or something and flew through about 10 trees...sideways. Car rolled...whole 9 yards. I never again want to hear those sounds. I did not have a single scratch, cut, abrasion, nothing. Didn't hit my head. Didn't hit my knees as is quite common in cars...especially smaller ones. The ONLY thing I had happen to me was I got the massivest, gnarly-est bruise I've EVER SEEN on my side from slamming into the door when the car hit the trees. All in all, I couldn't recomment these cars more. I just wish they had traction control.
