Good car under 10k for girlfriend
Hey CL my girlfriend is looking into getting a newer car. She wants to spend under 10k and get something nice. I told her to get a 2gs and she said no because it was to big for her, and said why i can just drive yours lol... then i said you could get a 1IS and she said she likes it alot but doesnt want a rear wheel drive. She wants to get a 00-04 style RL which is nice and in the price range. she also likes 02-03 style tl's but if so she has to get a type s.. she just wants a 4dr car. right now she is driving a 5spd 99 prelude with a jdm h23a. she likes it but she wants something less sporty which is why she is leaning towards a rl. But now the problem is that she is really picky. Plus there arent alot of rls by me.. Whats another car that she could take into consideration? preferably a import. thanks for your help

Here's the XG and its interior:
You can, in some cases, also get some used FWD Hyundai Azeras (the XG's replacement) in that price range......some 2006 models list for roughly the 10-11K range. But, with the last Azera I reviewed, I didn't think its interior was as plush as that of the XG 300/350 it replaced, and the chassis/suspension showed more road noise.

The Honda/Acura automatic trannies in the mid-sized cars were generally OK after about 2003 or so. Most of the problems were from '99-'03.

Not sure why she would want a 1st gen RL unless she wants a huge trunk. Slow, underpowered, not great MPG, rides okay, looks bland, not really luxurious and is hardly a better car than a Camry or Accord. Then things will need fixing and it will cost more.
With a 10k budget I recommend something cheap that is cheap to maintain
