Looking for a new car

AWD is awesome! Until you have to replace 1 tire, and find out you can't replace just 1 tire on an AWD vehicle. You must replace them all.

I was going to get a coupe, but have decided to go with a sedan for its practicality.
I have these in mind:
Chevy Cruze
Honda Accord
Mitsubishi Lancer GTS

Anybody have any experience with these?
I'd like to stay around $20,000.
Obviously, the Accord is probably the most reliable.
The Chevy Cruze gets great MPG.
And the Mitsubishi Lancer looks sweet.

I can't decide. HELP!! Any other sporty sedans that I should take a look at?
I think I'll add the Kia Optima to the list too.

I bought a 2010 Lancer DE last christmas time. I like it alot. I have the super basic model so it doesn't come with cruise control which is the only real problem I have with it. It runs well, looks cool, and gets pretty good gas mileage. Bought it new for around 14,500 which was the major reason behind my purchase.

I bought my wife a 2011 Ford Fiesta in the fall of 2010. We've put ~21000 miles on it, and other than a faulty ignition module, it's been flawless. Avg. mpg is ~38 (we use it mainly for highway trips) and have even seen as high as 45. Sync is awesome, great bluetooth system, comfortable yet sporty on the back roads.

I'm currently driving a Mazdaspeed6 that I'm considering getting rid of to get the new Ford Focus ST when it drops.

One of those Smart cars would get you some good gas mileage, unless you're going into a headwind. They are cheap, basically a golfcart with doors. It's a two door so it has to be sporty.

If you would buy one, its been nice knowing you.

I'm looking into getting a Chevy Cruze myself. My advice is that you do a youtube search of each vehicle you're looking at to get a good in depth look.
