Default What would you buy for 10-15K?
Requirements: 30mpg+ on the freeway, sexyness.


AWD a plus, LSD a plus, FWD a minus.

Very borderline on the $15k, but possible. 30mpg on the fwy . . . maybe under ideal conditions. . .

Corvette C5 ZO6.

Besides maybe a couple Subaru's I can't think of any AWD vehicles that get 30+ on the highway.

I think a normal C5 or Z06 is the closest as far as fun versus mileage is concerned. A Cobalt SS (the turbo version) also gets 30+ highway I believe and is a high 13 sec/low 14 second car stock. With the LNF tune and minor mods it's a mid 13 second car.

They're still over 15k, sorry about that.

Good luck with the search. I think the closest you will get to your ideal car would be a Subie (other than the Vette), I think Evo's MPG is not quite as good.

Evo's and WRX's don't get anywhere near 30 on the highway AFAIK. I think it's closer to 25ish.
