I need a comprehensive list of four door cars that are available with decent "manual auto-transmissions". Whether it would be tiptronic, DSG or SMG and the like. Under $25K new or used, but under 4 years old.
This is to save me from having to go through having a car payment on a car I don't really like driving. My wifes!
Obviously, suggestions of cars on the sportier side are encouraged.
Thanks.
some e46s might just squeak in there too
Come home with a stick-shift Accord. Easiest clutch in the world, and you end up with a good chassis to boot.
Make your compromises and you'll get closer to what you want.
Fit....Fit Sport.
One year past your cut-off, but the first one that came to mind was the Chrysler 300M.
Ummm.... Why do you want a tiptronic? If it CAN shift on its own, it will. Meh.
Chrysler 300M
Some Subaru's have it
Hyundai's
I thought this was pretty obvious?

4 Door GTI base options except tiptronic dsg transmission, new rings in @ $24,930 so I assume used could only be less than that.
Most "tiptronic" transmissions will just piss you off... the DSG will drop your jaw and make you question how much you love your 3rd pedal.
edit: personally I can't stand the looks but if it were the wifey's I would have an excuse to drive it. Also, some other VWs have the transmission.. the GLI (never heard of it before) seems to look better but it is like $1000 more
Dodge Intrepid..
...ducks from sight..and out of range of thrown objects
'05 Lexus IS300 w/E-Shift - tons around with slushboxes, not many with LSD, but they do exist. They should be under 22K for a decent example.

Certainly the cheapest... 
Acura TL S type. Comfy, loaded, fast, and 30 mpg at 85mph all day long.
I'm pretty sure the 2003 protege was available with a shiftable automatic. also the mazda3 is aswell.
I know the Protege 5's came with a sport shift automatic. The Acura TSX did too..
FWIW, some of the Dodge Caravans have it.
I have yet to drive one that works...
Toyota put a 6-speed one in the Sequoia though.
Mazda 6
BMW 3-Series Steptronic - yes these do come with automatics
BMW 3-Series SMG was available on non-M models as well, although very rare and somewhat troublesome IIRC
