Recommendation for new car under $30,000?

[darksparkz]

Looking to get a car for under $30,000. I'm mainly looked for a nice sedan with decent power. I'm looking for new cars only, so I can't get a nice Evo or STi for that price. I prefer something with a V6 and leather seats as well.

I've looked at the Accord V6, but they don't have leather seats in any of their V6 models. I think the Camry V6 XLE is a good choice, but are there any other more "sporty" alternatives. The TSX looks nice, but it's only a vtec I4.

So, this is a bit confusing to pick a good car, any recommendations?

For new cars I would lean more towards the TSX then the V6 Accord or Camry, they feel much sportier. If I were personally in your shoes, I would get a dealer certified used BMW E46 330i.

I'd like the TSX too, but the Vtec I4 would feel a tad weak compared to a higher torque V6.

Getting a BMW might be a bit too high class, plus I'd probably want a new car more. I'll still look around to see if there are any good E46s around.

I'm leaning more towards a Camry XLE V6 fully loaded, its only about 31k, but it wouldn't be as sporty as an accord.

Have you checked out the new 2007 Camry's? I think those cars are pretty sporty in my opinion.

Have you considered the Saab 9-2x? 227 hp and AWD.

Turbo 2.5, sounds pretty good, but then I dislike sport wagons.
