I'm Shopping For...
If I went new, I'm thinking along the lines of the Fiesta/Focus ST, the Fiat Abarth. Also considered a CR-Z (pretty sure I could get a rip roaring good deal, but the local dealer doesn't have one to test drive). Something a bit fun, but that I haven't owned before. If I go used I'd want to keep it in the $10k range...which I'm finding really limits things. I still want something *kind of* fun, but also something that's not going to cost a ton to maintain, especially considering I don't have a local trusted mechanic. I've tried to convince myself to just get an 8th gen Civic, or Mazda 3, etc. but so far it's not working. 
As I type all of that I realize how spoiled I've been with cars!
