Less than $30K daily driver,what you'd buy?

I'm about to be in the same prediciment. Lenie, figure this all out and let me know.

I just picked up a 2011 Ford Fusion (I know it's a Ford!!!). I paid just over 30 for it, but that's also in the Canadian market so should be less down south. Or a slightly used one would be less. It gets mid 30's for fuel economy. Very good reviews. Has won several awards. I'm very happy with it so far. The 2013 are redesigned. Has a front end that looks more like an Aston Martin.

Do you want something barely practical, slightly more practical, or very practical? New or used?

My old driver bit the dust late last year, and I tried to talk myself into getting some kind of fun sedan with perhaps a little bit of luxury, but then I caved and bought a used GT500. Mustangs might not be the greatest cars out there, but if you want something you can drive everyday and take to the track on occasion, without a ton of maintenance, they aren't a bad deal, you know if you don't mind Fords, or looking like a secretary Otherwise there are G8s, G35 (which I would suggest, BTW), etc.

I'd suggest one to Todd, but he pretends to be a classy guy.

I thought of those too, but Lenie has his own little set of rules.
