Blah blah blah....
So buy an older one...jeffie7 said:
I'd also consider looking at some Lexuses. My bosses late 90's ls300 was fun to drive, classy, and not too pricey. It's certainly no STi, but it will get great gas mileage and probably the lightest feeling lexus I've driven. Or maybe an sc300 5 speed.
That is the lexus I want.
also consider doing the commute in the winter....

we currently at my fathers car lot have an 02 honda accord ex, leather, roof, completely loaded with 48k on the ticker for around 10.8k very nice car and a lil classier than the civic and still gets good mielage with tha vtak yo! oh also its a rare 5 speed, we are the second owners and know the previous owners. the woman ordered it from honda with a five speed. quite possibly the only newer accord ex loaded that ive ever seen with a stick. also color is silver.

I'd look into a 2001-2002 VW Passat. You can easily find them under $10K and it would be enough for a daily driver. FWD, 1.8T (with ok power), mid to upper 20s MPG and has more class than an econobox.
I won't be working from home for a couple months at least. I'll probably end up just sticking it out. But, I am looking.
drive1, where is your dad's lot:?
TSX is way out of my price range.
not much of a lexus fan, and 99.3421432% of them are automatics anyway. The odds of finding one in a stick isn't worth my time.
The new SER is a POS. Thanks, but no thanks. I don't think i'd pay 500 bucks for one.

I've shaken the magic 8 ball and I see an answer that involes no money at all. Slow the fuck down. :lol If you drive at a moderate pace like say under 80 you probably won't burn 1/4 tank of gas in each direction. I understand the fun that can be had on nice open roads but all you need to do is reduce the speed and start saving gas.

Buy an accessport, put the car in economy mode.
Commute.
All better.
Just don't fry your ECU while remapping your ECU, because your battery is low and kills the comp in the middle of the transfer, like I did.

If you want fast and good gas milage then a bike is perfect, but if you dont want a motorcycle and you dont want an econo box, american car, etc id say check out some saab's, my gf's mom and brother have been drivin theirs forever and they love them, not too bad of a car in my opinion just for driving to work in. Kinda classy, comfortable, good gas milage, cheap on insurance.

hmm, they seem to get alot better gas milage than most other "luxury" type cars, but i guess it depends on who you talk to.
V6 Accord, but those are only auto correct?
Late 90's 3 Series BMW. Mid 90's M3. You always wanted a M3 and this would be a sensible way into a used M3. Screw the mileage if its going to be your daily driver, they're tanks and will go forever.
A A4 or A6 isn't a bad idea, but electronic gremlins and maintenance will be worse than the STi.
