I've been lurking around here for a little while while researching a new vehicle. I've owned a 1989 Ford Probe GT turbo as my first car and then moved on to a 2000 Dodge Dakota v6 and then a 2003 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 v8. After that, I owned a 2009 Honda Civic hybrid and currently drive a 2010 Toyota Prius.
I've been looking at the Civic si, Nissan Nismo, Subaru wrx, Fiesta/Focus ST and VW Gti but I always come back to the Elantra Sport.
I'm thinking about the blue or the gray with the premium package (wife likes the dual zone ac). I was originally thinking about going with the DCT because of the better fuel economy and I do a lot of stop and go traffic on 295 in Jacksonville. I was visiting my mom last week and found one with the 6 speed in Vero Beach, though and my wife reminded me of how much I used to love driving a manual and I have to say the bug bit me and I've been having dreams rowing through the gears and hearing that sweet siren call of a turbo at boil.
Once I can find a dealership around that has one and doesn't insist on charging a markup (daytona and vero beach both tried to hold at $3k over Sticker!?!) I may be ditching my Prius for an ES.
