As automotive writers, we’re always asked what our favorite cars are or which cars we would buy if we had the money. To answer the latter query, Vanity Fair’s Brett Berk polled 13 scribes](Thirteen Top Car Writers Pick the Model They Would Buy in 2013 (Under $100,000) | Vanity Fair) to see what they’d pick for under $100,000. An interesting mix of vehicles ensues. Some of the choices stretched the imaginary budget to its max while others went all bang-for-the-buck on us, but what’s most surprising about the list is that more than half the cars on it are not available with a manual transmission.
Of course cars like the Porsche 911, Ford Mustang and a couple of Mercedes-Benz AMG cars make the cut, but there were also a handful of choices that caught us off guard. Jonny Lieberman of Motor Trend chose the Subaru BRZ, Autoblog weekend editor Alex Nunez would love commuting in a brown Tesla Model S Performance, and Jake Fisher of Consumer Reports picked the Hyundai Veloster… non-turbo!
Here’s the full list of what these 13 auto writers would take home if given a sub-$100,000 car:
