Spent the past 10 years loving and driving this beautiful car, it played an essential role in my late teens/20s and spent a lot of money already to keep it alive.
While I want to drive it till the wheels fall off, recent issues likely require a few thousand in repairs, new engine, etc.. and I've been thinking I'm going to want a new car anyways, so would love advice about what to get next.
Going to need 4 doors instead of the CL's two. Need more cargo space for hauling camera and lighting gear. Would love to have the nimble-ness and sporty feel of my CL in whatever this new car is, even though I may have to sacrifice in this cargo-friendly dream. I don't want to downgrade in quality or performance, looking for equal or slightly better. Hoping to not have worse gas mileage than my CL, would be cool to have an improvement.
Currently thinking about a used 2012 MDX, but thinking it may be overkill since I'm just a single guy. I also think the extra weight of the MDX will take away from the go-kart feel that I have with the CL. I may be looking for the impossible, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Trying to keep the price (new or used) under $35K, prefer a nice car, though used, around $30K or a little less! Thanks!
