New Mustang ,300hp, 30 mpg highway, not a hatch but a lot of fun for the coin!
If you're buying new, and only putting 3k on a year, any car sold in the US is going to be reliable for YEARS...Late-model VWs should go 50-100k AT LEAST without something major.If you like the Golf.... Get a Golf.
My vote: Mini Cooper. We love the hell outa ours. We got the Clubman for the faux rear door and the barn door tail
OP here, I want to thank everyone for your ideas, including the Cadillac CTS :+=copcar. Seems to fit that Guzzi owners are in the market for stick shift hatches which every other American runs away from the buy some jacked up hatch/wagon called a CUV. I am going test driving next week and will report back once I get some seat time. Not sure about the Mini, have rented them and just did not like the high doors and closed up feeling. My neighbor has been waiting for three months to get side rear glass window for her Mini Cooper S, German parts via the UK....Thanks again, looks like Golf, Fiesta, Mazda 2/3, Fit, and Nissan Versa Note are on the list now.
"Small 5 door hatch."What about an Impreza?You said you liked the Prius. Just ready for something different?John Henry
I'm going to say it again... with the amount of miles you drive, GET WHATEVER YOU WANT. It's NOT GOING TO BREAK for MANY MANY years and miles.Get a Fiat or an Alfa if it makes you happy.
