A non turbo straight six bimmer might be worth a look.

The only BMW we'd buy is a Z4M.

Also..she already has a non turbo straight six.

TL stick all the way.

TL stick all the way.

I know...it's the sensible choice.

But she says "I miss being in a coupe".

The heart wants what the heart wants...

[tortoise]

Carrera4, clearly.

Carrera4, clearly.

Oh yea....but not within budget I don't think. 

She said she'd prefer a TT-RS.  And I was like "Yea, me too!"

Accord coupe if ok to skip the AWD?
If AWD a must, then yeah, stick-TL

We had a 2002 Accord Coupe, which was an excellent car.

If FWD is on the table then yeah, a ton more options open up. V6 Accord coupe with stick is no slouch of a car.

No FWD!

The Talon just sold.

How do you know?  Did you buy it?   

[Guy]

No, I contacted him! I thought it was quite expensive for a 20 year old car.

No FWD!

Oh well.  I was about to suggest a C30.  Despite being FWD, I think it’s fun to drive...  Though they did build one with AWD...

But would an S or V60 T6 AWD be a wildcard possibility?  Not a coupe, but a 300hp I6 turbo sounds like fun...  Not sure about manual transmission availability though....

TT. 

Fun, AWD, available with 6 speed stick.  What's not to like?

Not much. There is, however, a lot to LOVE!

I agree. TT would tick all the boxes.

I knew someone with a first gen and other than a bad water pump, it was a reliable DD and only required routine maintenance.

3000GT?  Coupe, manual, AWD, and you don't see many around.

Apart from Audi "reliability" you mean?     They seem to be hit or miss.

BTW...PM Sent.

Yea, I think that Stealth TT I linked to earlier with fewer KMs is the better bang for the buck.

I had a 1994 Stealth TT....IQ loved it.

The nicest stock LS1 F-body (I'd probably find a WS6 T/A based on looks alone, and a nicer interior than the Camaro) with a 6-speed and gnarly winter tires. Not AWD, but AWD is for wimps anyway. Loved driving f-bodies in the snow, plus endless tuning possibilities and proper V8 power. Do it!
