It's time to invest in a new set of wheels, and I'm having trouble deciding which car to get.
I'm looking for a sporty 4 door sedan. I kept my last car (an '89 Accord, bought in '95) for 7 years and 200,000+ miles, and I plan on going the distance with my next one, so reliability is a huge factor. I don't like to spend extra time at the fix it shop.
Here's my preferences, in order of most important:
I don't know a lot about cars, so any recommendations would be appreciated about where to buy. I'm thinking I'll probably end up at CarMax, becuase of their huge selection, guaranteed quality, and web-accessible inventory.

Here's my preferences, in order of most important:
- reliable
- fun to drive/ kind of sporty looking, but still a nice business car
- quiet interior
- safe
- $15-30K
- 2-4 years old (I'd like to buy used, so the IS300 is iffy)
- easy/ cheap upkeep; easy to find parts and repair.
- good stereo, or easy to upgrade; easy to add CD/MP3 player (either in-dash, or portable)
