This market is really as sparse as I thought! That's why I asked...

I'm determing size *mostly* by length. I consider my Sable to be large. It is technically a mid-size but it is a bigger mid-size (for example bigger than an Accord from the same year). It is 16 feet long. So that should give you an idea.

I always the figured the A4 was a compact, but I'm not quite sure of its dimensions. The 6 is definitely not big enough. An Altima may be, Maxima definitely.

Not looking for STi sporty, looking for Mazda6 sporty.

Also, I'm not buying a car, I just realized that if I were, THIS is the market I'd be in, but there really aren't that many options without spending a fortune.

go with the a4 avant or a3
A THREE??? Wouldn't quite classify that as large.

only about 2 feet smaller than a Lincoln LS....
Well not only do I sort of consider an LS a compact to begin with, but two feet is a large difference.

The LS is the same length as your sable....so you really don't know what you want obviously. :roll:
Sure I do, just going by memory, didn't realize the size of the LS.

The A3 is 14, the A4 is 15. A4 definitely looks tiny, though.

What is the techincal difference between a compact and a mid-size?

You're probably thinking of the older A4s...those were very small. If you really want something large and sport go with a used S4 avant. Though you have to be carefull with used and audi....they don't mesh well.
How come?

Huge potential for a money pit
Saying you'll have to put a lot of dough into them?

Are you fvcking dense? The A6 and the Maxima are practically the same size!
 
The Honda Accord Sedan now comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, and it's new ass is hot 😱 The suspension is supposed to be "sport" tuned on the 6-speed model 😛
 
this thread is hilarious with all these people recommending compact nonsporty cars.

No, no, 6 was referring to the Mazda6. Sorry, my fault on clarity.
 
the maxima is nice. I drive a 98, and it's still nice.

maxima, g35, both are nice. both should be right around 30k

I've never driven the new avalon, but it's been dubbed the "maxima killer" It looks really good on paper, but you'll never know how it is until you take it on a test drive.
