VW CC is a great car, i considered it when buying my IS250, but skipped over it because it quickly became apparent that no VW dealers around my area wanted to give me a good deal! Hyundai Sonata 2.0T is an awesome car! That turbo really makes it move in the higher RPM's and you can't beat the price and 10yr/100k warranty. The Genesis Coupe is also a great car, but if your wife finds the Jetta too not fit her age range, than i doubt the Genesis coupe would fit lol.
I'd say check out the Hyundai Sonata 2.0T (you'll be impressed) and then the VW CC. The BMW 3 series is pretty nice too, but they aren't as happy to give out deals on those because they do sell pretty well.
Good job on deciding to get rid of your TT since its outside of warranty
! Audi repair bills are NOT fun lol

Assuming if the car is a "2009" it may have been bought in 2008 or early 2009 so your already 2+ years into the warranty on a BMW which some would not want to own out of warranty

we're a little scared to keep her 2008 Audi TT that just ran out of warranty....so here's what she wants and doesn't want....
Must have's...
around $30K
good MPG (avg is 31mpg in her TT 2.0T)
AUTO
no ragtops
reliable
semi-sporty
new OR CPO with low mileage (under 15K)
coupe or sedan
2009 or newer
No hatches (eliminates CT-H and A3)
no plastic wheel covers
Cars she's NOT interested in getting:
VW GTI (I think its a perfect car for her but she thinks its a young person's car...she's mid 40's)
Scion tC (doesn't like)
370Z/350Z (another car I think would be good for her)
VW Beetle
BMW 1 series (thinks they are ugly)
C6 (too $$ anyway)
CT-H
A3
Mini Cooper
Notes
she likes the pics of the Toyota FT-86
We've owned an IS250 & 350 so she's not interested in those.
thanks for the help!

^98 Used 335i's in your area, there is an 07 with 76k for $23k. I know that mileage and years matter to you, so just configure the search to however you prefer.

Consider the G37 coupe/convertible. It has similar curvy/egg-like cues that the Audi TT has.
It's reasonably reliable (certainly far more reliable than a 335i is likely to be). It has fine acceleration and handling for a car in its class (semi-sporty). It has a nice automatic transmission. It seems like the perfect car for her.

she doesn't like the Sonata for some reason....but would go for a Jetta but trying to steer her away since the CC is so much nicer.
Why not just buy a warranty on the TT? Can't go wrong with Costco.
