Like the new kid seats, start backward, turn around and straiten up, remove first liner, remove base, lasts quit a few years. Or until they change the laws again.

If I were considering Giulia, there are currently over 1,100 to choose from used. Get an extended warranty and AAA towing then head for the hills. https://www.carfax.com/Used-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia_w9368 |

Infiniti q50 red sports are OTD for less than $50k.
Add on a JB4, heat exchanger, and lower down pipe and you’ll be making close to 500crank. Or get a premium or silver sport to save money add on the same mods still puts you at same near 500 crank. |

The Kia Stinger GT is literally made for this market. Seems like an easy choice to me

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
-Giulia - looks very intriguing. Might be what i'm looking for. I'll have to check it out. - wrx - just personal preference, but it's not my style. maybe the next gen. - used isf - like the idea, just seem hard to find. - trd camry - put it on the list half joking, but maybe i need to actually look into it. seems like ppl like it a lot - stinger / g70 - they look good on paper. have all the right specs and seem like the value choice. just hesitant because i've owned a genesis coupe before and the fit, finish and feel definitely was a step down. but i'll keep on the list to check out -mazda 6 - forgot about this one. i feel like mazda has always made good handling, driver-focused cars. the current 6 just seems dated though. i'm curious to see the next gen 6 which supposedly is going rwd with a straight 6, but i prob can't wait around until then -Q50 - also forgot about this one. will have to check out -golf r, focus - prefer not to get a hatchback -charger hellcat, cts-v - look like awesome cars, just not my style As for the whole purpose of getting a "sporty" sedan vs just a people mover/minivan, I mean if i had 3 or 4 kids, then yes, minivan or 3-row suv, no question. But with 1 baby? just seems like there so many other options that can work. No i'm not planning on doing donuts with a newborn, but if I'm putting my money down for a car, I want something that I'm going to enjoy driving. I'm sure most people who buy Twins understand that feeling. I'm just looking for that with 4 doors. Now i just need some time for test drives, without all the bs dealer talk. my list (just for my own sake) New: bmw 3 audi 5/6 benz cla amg lexus is350 vs is500 trd camry Alfa Giulia kia stinger genesis g70 infiniti q50 Used: bmw m3 lexus isf the dream: |

More like 20 years ago. I seem to remember Hyundai-Kia making great strides in the reliability department even from 10 years ago.
