Looking for a new car in addition to my S. want a fun sedan in manual with a nice interior.
After the holidays are over I will be buying a new(to me) car to use as a daily so I can retire the S from bad weather and long trip etc.
I am looking for used cars. Some of the biggest requirements are either fwd or awd, updated/ nice interior with GPS etc, manual trans, back seats/4 door and a fun car to drive.
Some of the choices I have been looking into so far are the following.
2007-2008 acura TL Type S really hard to find low mileage and manual trans.
2008+ WRX( missing the nice interior part mostly though)
G35xi sedan
335xi ( worried about repairs and maintenance though) never owned a BMW before.
2007-2008 Subaru Legacy GT B Spec (hard to find)
I don't want a 2 door as back seat space is important and hate having to get in through the front doors.
I've really been wanting a quiter more comfortable car to have to go along with my S.
Any other suggestions or feedback on the cars I am looking at?
As of now I think I would want the Type S the most but it is also one of the hardest to find in manual of all of them.

How about and X-Type Jaguar 3.0 or Acura TL Type S?

test drove a 2007 TL Type S about 2 years ago and it was really nice. I'd love to have one for a DD.
Finding one with lower miles might be hard since most people use it as a DD and not as a secondary car like s2000's.

G8 is pretty nice but I don't want another RWD car. Definitely no to any Auto's as well. Being as my business is mainly shift knobs I feel like that would be a sin haha.
I have looked at the G35x as well. Those seem to very hard to find in manual.
I have found some TL Type S' recently but all have had over 75K miles or an accident or something on record. Lots of low mileage auto's but I can't do that.
I love how Audi's look! I am just nervous about reliability with them as I am with the BMW's. Is that incorrect to be worried about that with them?
The newer model A4's look great I think and I'm sure the 2.0T would be a nice engine for daily driving. Plus the AWD would be great for winter with some winter tires!

I feel the same way in general about the german cars. However, my dad has had a 2005 A6 and still DD's it, 100k miles and for the most part has had zero issues. The only thing is that general maint. is higher overall, and once in a while silly things go wrong that you have to pay quite a bit for. sorry, no concrete examples off the top of my head.
