For $8k-10k?

A Hyundai Santa Fe can be had for cheap, and it's the cheapest car to insure in the U.S.

Well, I think the new ZDX might fail so much that the dealers will give them out for 10K.

Good luck finding anything in 8-10K range that will match your 2005 TSX.

I never understood people who sell their relatively new cars and have limited budgets to buy another one. You should have kept the TSX.

I'm having a hard time making sense of your post. Its sounds like you're saying that because you didn't like your 05 TSX you sold it, and now you want somthing much lesser. So the TSX was to nice a car for you??? Ok well how about a 2000+ Jetta, Accord, Camery, Buick, 300M..

Well then get a 4 door Civic auto with tinted windows and a nice radio and good set of speakers and be done with it. Perfect cozy commuter.

You probably won't need AWD in GA (although AWD helps in rain, too, not just ice/snow), but, if you want it, check out some used Subarus. For non-turbo 2.5 models, get a 2004 or newer....maybe a 2003. From 1999-2002 there were head-gasket issues. Subaru does what is probably the best AWD there is under 35K.
