I ended up buying one of these after a test drive. 2016 Crosstrek with a 5 speed.
But it isn't afast car at all. Does get great gas milage.35mpg. Very comfortable. Easy to drive. Light steering. car-liket ride. Full time Four wheel drive in the standard trans model. Built in Japan.

A Subaru Forrester would be closer to your parameters.
Bigger motor. Turbo. Built in Japan. Highly rated.

I had a WRX wagon in law school and loved it. I'm definitely considering the Forester XT. I need to test drive one and see how it compares.

My company car is up for renewal in March, so I am beginning to shop around. I'm looking for a fun crossover or small SUV. The firm will pay up to $25k and if I want something more expensive, the difference comes out of my pocket. I'm cheap, though, so I'd prefer not to pay out of pocket. Also, I get to pocket the difference if less than $25k.

I need some suggestions. Here are the parameters:

- small SUV or crossover
- 2011 or later
- $30k or less
- AWD or 4WD
- sub 6 second 0-60
- in the ballpark of 20 mpg or better

What is out there?

Consider a Mini Cooper S Clubman. Or a Kia Sportage 2.0 turbo.

Just took a drive in the new S6. No V10 anymore, but it's supposedly faster. Audi states 4.4, but one of the magazines tested it out at 3.8 0-60. Top speed would be in the 190s if unregulated. 90% of my limited driving is in the city limits though, so I'll probably wait for the hybrid A3. 150-200 mpg and will still do 0-60 in 7 seconds.

I still can't get the thought of having a 4 door sedan that's faster than my friend's Carrera 4S out of my mind though.

I actually bought the 2016 S6 this past August. 450hp, just insane. It just way too easy to drive way too fast.
