If were were allowed to have wagons with manual transmissions here in the states, I'd be all over that.

It's a Toyota Auris Toruing Sports Hybrid. Uses the same engine that's in the Second gen Prius I believe. My Parents drive one. It's a good, relatively fast car with a lot of boot space, but i'm not surprised about the pedal feel and response of the brakes and the gas. I can't really find a sweet spot for the brakes, so my braking is always kinda jerky at least not a smooth as in my Yaris and the gas isn't responsive due to the CVT transmission.

Back to the topic:

Hopefully my next car will be BMW E30. But i can't afford one yet. Before you buy one you need to make sure you have enough money left to fix it otherwise, you'll end up selling it again if something brakes.

Actually it's the gen3 engine(1.8L, gen2 was 1.5). I believe the gen2 is in the Yaris Hybrid. The brakes were revised with the most recent facelift, braking felt natural during my test drive.

I see it's also available with a diesel and 6-speed manual.

Kia Stinger is on my list i would probably go for the base 2ltr turbo 8 speed automatic. It's a hatchback it has plenty of room at the back i have 1 kid so if i have another it would come in handily. Just waiting on the specs specially the weight and MPG.



I was also looking at Mazda mx5 NC series 2. With the electric roof but it's a 2 seater and only good for a daily and not much else.



I am interested in a VAN as well since my brother has one it's really cool specially if you can put a bed at the back heck you can turn in into a home away from home so i thought about the Nissan El grand.

No more non-hatch vehicles for me - Too limiting in terms of potential utility.

My current 'favorite contenders' for my next vehicle purchase (fall/winter, 2020):

(1) Another Toyota Yaris SE (if I like the next gen one AFTER the 2018-2020 refresh fiasco is history).
(2) Toyota iM (Assuming I like the 2019(?) refresh version changes or beyond).
(3) Lexus CT200H F-Sport (would have to be lower-mileage used 2017 one, since that is last U.S. production year for them).
(4) Mazda3 Hatchback (depends on any future changes made to it)
(5) Honda HR-V (Depends on changes made to initial/current version, since current one has some deal-breaker issues for me)

Sounds like maybe a Ford Focus RS or Subaru Forester 2.0XT or Subaru WRX.

Last three cars were: Ford Ranger, Yaris, and Corolla (current). My next car will be a Yaris.

Although I did flirt with other hatchbacks, the Yaris has more appeal. i did ask my wife if we could get a $55k Focus RS and she grounded me for saying such nonsense. ;)

I was thinking the Golf R would be perfect for you...until I got to the bottom items of your list.
