6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		 Very expensive.
2009 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Very high resale values and popularity make the car very popular for resales. Unfortunately the vehicle has a higher sticker price. This is easily offset in the long run on reliability.
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Damn, it was expensive (one year old and cost $24K, original price something like $32.5K) but you get what you pay for I think.

2012 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas
CVT FWD		 I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price.
