What car should the Wife get???
I know this should probably be in the OT section, but I never go there and figured I would let my 4.6 boys help me out. She wants a 4 cylinder, with a sunroof, manual tranny, 2 doors, and something small and compact. So out of these choices, which would you go with, oh and she wants something from 2005 and newer. And if you guys can think of newer 4 bangers that she might want, go ahead and post them, thanks.
P.S - I'm trying to convince her to get something maybe with 4 doors or a v6 or v8, but thats onlyif she cant find something she wants.

RE: What car should the Wife get???
The RSX-S is a good choice, I like how the look, feel and drive. The Scion is a close 2nd and having sold Toyota before I can say that 2.4L is very nice and responds to mods well. The Acura outshines them all by far though in overall features, power and handling. Having driven or been in all 3 its the Acura for sure.
210hp / 143tq RSX-S
160hp / 163tq Scion tC
160hp / 132tq Honda Si
210hp / 143tq RSX-S
160hp / 163tq Scion tC
160hp / 132tq Honda Si

I got those power ratings from msn.autos.com
The RSX-S is rumored to be 220hp instead of 210 according to a lot of honda guys, but you know how that goes.
I really dont like the Celica GT-S that much when we test drove it or when I would have to take people out on test drives. Its very slow to me and so damn cramped, im a big guy and I had to get in the rear seat. The front seat is even uncomfertable for me.
It only has 180hp / 130tq.
The dealership owners son had on that was supposedly TT'ed. It was black and looked great, but I never got a gander under the hood to see his Y-header setup.
