It's a little bit hard for me to accept a Hyundai~ well now it's worth research around

thanks guys for the feedbacks!

 

Subaru Outback:
- Excellent family, SUVish car.
- Renowned AWD system
- Fuel economy is a little better than AWD G37.
- 170 or 256hp engine

 

Kia Optima

 

Fully loaded and its a terrific car.

 

Genesis sedan!

 

used first gen FX35/45

 

RAV4 is being redesigned this year. I'd hold off on that

 

Mazda cx-5. Can't wait for the diesel!

 

I feel the same way. Assuming it actually comes here. Unlike the honda diesel that was announced in, what, 2007-8?

Infiniti diesel coming along with redesign?

 

x3 if you want new in that price range.

Used Genesis sedan wouldn't be bad.

 

A 7th Gen Maxima (2009+) would fit the bill nicely, too. Roomy for the family, easy to drive, but still very sporty and reliable. I'd take a 2-year old Maxima over the brand new 4-cyl Altima any day.

 

Thanks guys for the replies

anyone suggest Toyota Venza? It buys me, in certain perspective way, large cabin for myself tall and big

 

Can't speak for the Venza but we have a Subaru Forester XT - large enough to fit most things you'll ever need to and has a turbo that pulls. Gas mileage isn't that great (averaging 17-18MPG/tank) but is in your price range and has a Subbie AWD. If you're leaning more towards a car/hatch, as others said, the Prius and Passat are great buys but underpowered considering you used to have an RSX. Test-drove a 2012 3.5L Altima and while it was responsive with power, it's pushing that $30k limit and the 2013 redesign is only a couple months away to market.

 

2012 wrx

 

My aunt/uncle have a Venza. Is reeeeeally nice. Definitely take one for a test drive.
