Buick Regal Turbo? The 2011s might be available within your budget, they are sturdy cars and safe, and have 220 hp.
Good little "toy" type car for my wife and I?

Keep saving and get a 2015 WRX with a CVT. Toy cars need MT's, but the CVT should satisfy both.
I'm with Pabs on this one. The only VW Bug a male should own is one of those awesome dune buggy ones!! The modern ones should be left to the wannabe pseudo-hippy highschool girls who always put dayglow peace sign stickers all over them and those huge plastic eyelashes over the headlights.

My brother's Boxster? So far only oil change (gulp $200 at the indie shop) IMS/RMS/Clutch is already scheduled after the big weekend and would probably run about $4K depending upon the condition of the dual mass flywheel therein.

PTs can be had with a 'fun' turbo, and many like the slightly retro looks, and its modern enough. PT beat an HHR in a Car and Driver comparo. And they only have $15,000 to spend, and all the other discussions about better BMWs, etc. come with a higher price tag for a decent example.

Aquariuscsm - the OP specifically stated he does NOT want a manual. Nor does the op want a "non-modern" car.
MCompact - the OP said he was on a ~$15,000 budget. Even if this was intended to be funny, it wasn't.

Nothing says "toy" or "fun" like a PT Loser.... lol
Hmmmmm... Do I want a Corvette or PT? I'll take the PT!
I wouldn't pay $5,000 for one.

Dude,you REALLY need to take a pill,and get a life outside of the internet. I just don't get why some people get their panties in a knot over forum discussions. Man,I wish that's all I had to worry about in life,must be nice!
A decent "non-modern" car (thinking you must mean a current car),15 grand isn't going to get you much. A "toy" type car to me,is an older car that's easy/cheap to work on,can be all done diy,and must be a standard. I bet if the op taught her how to drive one,he wouldn't be able to get it away from her. A "toy" car should be fun to drive,not an appliance.

It sounds like you need to give up on this forum thing. It's never going to be what you want it to be.
