I'm currently driving a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's been a very good vehicle and while I wouldn't mind owning one again, they are a little out of my price range right now. I bought this one used. I wouldn't mind another SUV, but I'm finding that most are out of my price range. I would really prefer to buy new. I don't want another used vehicle.

With that being said, I'm pretty open to the type of vehicle. It doesn't need to be a coupe or anything like that. I'm fine with a sedan and even 4 doors. I wouldn't mind if it had a bit of pep to it though. My wife recently bought a Ford Fiesta and while it's not a bad vehicle, I find it pretty gutless. I would prefer an automatic, but if it saved me a bundle, I could go with a standard transmission if need be. I'm really looking at spending about 22k max. Really want to keep my payments between $350 - $400 max a month. $350 would be better, so that's why the 22k is about as high as I can go. My credit won't allow me to take advantage of 0% financing or anything like that unfortunately.

I am really looking for something with great interior options. I would love a built in navigation system, but realize that is most likely not going to happen in my price range. What I need to have though is power everything, ac, bluetooth and at the very least, an auxiliary plug in for other devices. I prefer digital readouts if possible and really like features like so many km's until empty, etc.

I've done quite a bit of searching at some of the various websites for Chevy, Honda, etc. but wanted to get other opinions on vehicles I might be missing out on or other options out there. Ideas, thoughts? Any help would be appreciated based on your experience. Thanks!
