Looking for a new sedan

Consider the 2010 Subaru Legacy in your shopping around. You will have a choice of several engines, including two fours and one six cylinder. The car comes in three trim level options. You can get dual zone air conditioning if your favorite other likes it warmer or colder than you do. Transmission options include a CVT for the four cylinder models and a 5 speed auto for the six. The styling is new this year. Negatives, in my view, include a dull looking black steering wheel on some. The five speed auto gives poorer fuel mileage than six speed autos found on many competitors. The five speed Honda gets good mileage via cylinder disconnect, which the Subaru does not have. Four wheel drive is standard, which may be a plus or a minus for your needs. The car is said to be quiet and to have a good ride. Both true, in my limited drive. You can get the car without a sunroof, even on the top, Limited, model. This is only one of many fine cars under $30,000. Despite dealer hype of limited supply, expect a substantial discount from list.
 
2010 Buick Lacrosse.

But for 30,000 you can also get a nice two year old Cadillac CTS.

2010 looks like a bloated-looking pig compared to the previous gen, IMO: i hate the headlights

We rented a Kia Optima for a week, it was a decent cheap sedan. You can get them pretty loaded up. Ours had a 4 cylinder and basic power package, I liked it.

This is a Hyundai Sonata clone.
 
I am in the new car market and just test drove a TL back to back with Lacrosse. The Lacrosse was a nicer car in every way - totally blew the TL away, I was surprised.
 
Someone on here earlier commented on how poor the LaCrosse's interior fit and finish was. But maybe the TL's is even worse... who knows.
 
My GMother has a LaCrosse(how cliche, I know) the fit and finish of the interior on hers looks fantastic. The feel of the quality of interior materials has really been improved at GM the last few years.
