If it is in your price range and it has enough passenger/cargo space for your needs.. the RDX SH-AWD would be a nice DD. K23 Turbo FTW!

Post more pics of the Sprint! Engine bay shots? What size compressor?

I'd probably get rid of your cars and get something larger and upscale on the used market. An RDX or X3 maybe?
I don't really want a 5th (already have another 2 that I haven't even mentioned before)

What I want is to trade a daily driver that doesn't get alot of use, for one that can potentially do as much or more for me and cost less.

RDX I hate the looks of, X3 is too much money for what it is.

The Infiniti Ex35 however = I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!!, and it would do everything I'm looking for

However, anything like the EX35 / RDX etc... is actually more money (here in Canada) than my current car.

The whole point of this excercise (trading down) is to free up cash for an investment property / cottage / Freedom 50 etc........

Sure its my range of affordability, but as I've mentioned I'm trying to get more of my money into something else (investment property(s) / cottage / anything else) rather than sitting in a car that collects dust in my driveway for 5 days a week and is a supposed "daily driver"

With what I've done to it (and with some stuff waiting in the garage) it's probably at around 110hp (crank) and 100lb/ft trq.

Keep in mind though that it only weigh's about 1560lbs (for example: thats almost 1000lbs lighter than a Fit with almost the same power)
