Hello all,

I am new to the forum, my name is Ryan and I am a 16 year old looking for his first car. I am in a bit of a predicament as, I want a decently quick sedan, reliable, under $7,500 used. I had found 2008 Audi A4's in my price range, they are kinda quick but they of course have reliability issues. Although, I am able to afford the repairs, it sounds quite vexatious. Also, not looking for a sports car due to insurance costs. So, if any of you car fanatics have a good suggestion leave them below!

    Given that you are limited to the sedan body style preference, and a budget under $7,500, I would say you have to be looking at the Japanese marques. An Infiniti G35 might fit the bill. Or an older Subaru Impreza WRX.

    A Camry V6 is quite fast, and if you can find the SE version, handles pretty well.

    Also Acuras, and the Accord V6 is another option.

    Agree with everyone above. Those Camry's are sleepers! It has so much power that it has axle hop. It's capable of a 0-60 time below 6 seconds, if you get traction. May I recommend an Acura TL if you don't mind FWD? Otherwise, I agree with @Mr_Shiftright with a G35. RWD, quick, pretty reliable, etc. Believe it or not, a Cadillac CTS is rated very reliable as well, and should be considered. To sum it up, I'd add the TL and CTS to the mix. :)
