HONDA FRIGGIN FIT
Requirements:
1) Decent trunk - ridiculous rear cargo
2) Decent mpg - 35-40mpg
3) Automatic - paddle shifters (sport)
4) 4-doors - yeah baby
5) RELIABLE! - honda
it's not fast. it's not showy. it's slow. it's subjectively ugly. and it's stupidly practical.

My Infinity has been great! No problems at all. It has a good balance between a commuter car and something you can enjoy. True, it doesn't get 30+ MPG (TSX is just below that, around 28-29 MPG). Funny that they should mention the GS and other cars. My friend wholesales cars to dealerships, so he has a IS330, a G35 Sedan, and a few other cars that fit what your looking for. I love my G, and it comes with a 60k power-train warrenty from the factory.
Good luck with your search, and let me know if your interested or what your looking for. He gets rid of cars pretty quickly so just let me know. That G35 that he has now is MINT. Single owner lease return. $15,900 is what he's asking for it, but you REALLY need to see it to really appriciate it. He's located in Fremont. Good luck Rick!

i would say tsx too, but a used low mileage one is hard to come by at a GOOD price. of course the tsx > fit. other than you need premium gas. and 25-30mpg

Clean TSX's are hard to come by. Most have either high miles or have extremely worn interiors (from what I've seen). It does have pretty decent power though (K24's are amazing motors). I would say G35 sedan or TSX if you can find one.

I had a 2-Dr E36. I loved it. Only bad thing is maintance. It's CRAZY trying to pay a dealer to do it, and not very many people that I would trust doing mine. Luckily, I found a master tech who did it in his garage and stamped all my service records with it. Still ran great though.
