Default Car v. I need one soon

So I need a car. Looking in the 300-400/month lease range. Want the following:
- Fun
- Leather
- Manual (if possible)
- Sunroof
- iPod connectivity
- SIRIUS connectivity (not necessary)
- Nav system if not too expensive

I am debating between a fun sports car or a bigger sedan. So far people have suggested the TL, TSX, and G35 sedan. Not sure how I feel about any of those.

:werd: TL and Accords are boaty.

Hmmm...6-speed TSX, nimble, enough power and comfort.

It makes sense for my situation plus I don't want to worry about long term maintenance. Cars are a depreciating asset, not an investment :hs:

That isn't too bad...although I hate the pretentiousness of a BMW...for now.

Your criteria are clear but 2 of the 3 poeple suggestions can't be manual. Only choice left of origional list is G35 Sedan. Good choice.

I also second Hambone w/BMW. Lease is the only way to ride a BMTroubleU. Lots of fun, when it isn't in the shop.
