Altima SE-R
Sti (why not...)
Evo XI MR(the dark side haha)
used S2000 (that has 6spd and HIDs)
Miata
RX-8 (no 6spd i think)
Saturn Ion Redline
Chevy Cobalt SS
SRT-4
Ford Mustang GT(F.O.R.D. 'nuff said and no 6 spd)
used Ford Focus SVT (no HIDs i think and no 6spd)
350Z ( I wouldn't.. Everybody has one. Plus i'd rather keep my dads 240)
G35 (same reason as 350Z)
Pontiac GTO (this is a 6spd with a V8 with actual handling. Dun remember if it had HIDs tho. In addition you can be like Rhys hehe)
Mini Cooper S (See Francos post)


Well if worse comes to worse, get a car with a 6spd and install the HIDs yourself via a kit. i'd rather have the car come with the tranny. Its easier (I think) to replace the lamps compared to a tranny.

Good answer Timmay +1

you seem so picky about what you want, you want the best model possible, but youre asking for car less than 30k$ with a monthly less than 500$. you only have so many options to work with with your criteria. get the new VW GTI, or RX-8 shinka edition. both fully loaded will be under 30k and will give you a 6sp.
