Lucky for you there are a ton of cars out there that offer good torque and features: 3.8 Gen Coupe, Mustang GT, Camaro, GTI, 370z, MS3, Accord V6, Camry V6, Focus ST, MS3, Optima, etc. That segment is pretty crowded.

Which the Accord V6 is on my list, without being boring looking.

Congrats on the car RS-Hawk. Life is to short to not drive the car you want so long as it does not financially burden you. I am considering trading in my 13 FR-S. I want a good mix between the FR-S's handling that's got more power.(Going to hopefully test drive a 2015 WRX today) I am not sure anything is out there that's in my price range. Oh yea It needs to be able to fit a child seat. I still love my FR-S but seeing the real costs to add some real reliable power and better torque for city driving, its gonna cost quite a bit in after market. 5,000$-7,000$ depending on kit, goals etc... Plus with me being in CA, I haft to deal with CARB

(you know the stuff I don't like that jacks the price up) it would be PERFECT!!! Let me trade that stuff for some fog lights (why the monogram doesn't come with fogs is beyond me!!!) and lower that price to a realistic number for the features and I would really be set. lol
The Monogram does include fogs, but you have to pay extra!

Its not as fast ( which I knew), however for the same amount I was paying for the Z (base with Sport) Im paying for the GC with all the leather, windows, comfy, and tech I could hope for. Car is amazing and rides like a dream. I love the Z, had them all my life, it was just SO high strung, especially at 5am going to work. And this GC is plenty fast, just alot more comfortable.
