depends what ya want. Im not a hardcore racer and i like lux so i went with the 1.8t. No regrets at all. Its a very soild car and materials inside are par with BMWs. IMO

All the other cars are too boy racers to me. Im sure that phase will die soon. Also the 350z is nice but felt way too small, it doesnt even have a sunroof so i felt trapped inside.

How about a g35 coupe? Or a used S4?

it all depends on what you want from a car

my choice: 350z because its the best combination of sport and classiness. plus tons of aftermarket support.
a4 1.8t - pure luxury or if u just want to be in a pimp looking car
wrx sti - if your a speed freak and dont care at all about luxury
is300 - its a nice car if u ask me and with a turbo it can be outta hand but n/a its just average

I am in the same boat....Its a toss up between the STi and EVO. I am leaning towards the EVO because it handles better and is cheaper to mod.

A co-worker of mine bought one and said that our local dealer is cool about mods. He talked to the manager and mentioned he planned to do exhaust and downpipe, which wasnt a problem. My friend told me that as long as you dont go too wild, it shouldnt be a problem. He has also told me that supposedly Mitsu is watching people at the track and then writining down their plates. When they come in for work, they void their warranty. Dont know much about this, but if it's true, it sucks.

Speed w/o lux = EVO/STI

Speed w/ lux = Wait for IS430 or Turbo IS300

The STi is a great car, but I am having a hard time getting used to the blue interior. I would personally swap out the blue carpet for black.

The 350Z interior is made of the near identical fabric as the RX-S. You would feel right at home.

If it's between Evo and Wrx, then WRX all the way because Evo just speaks PURE uncle Ben's to me. Subarus are usually better quality as well.

I am a big fan of the g35c or a used E46 M3, of course depeds on the budget.

I say G35c because it will give you a nice car with balls. STi would be my second choice. Might I suggest an auto though.

Switch out the clear tails on the Evo, put in the Evo VII tails and its no more "ricey" looking than the STi.

I personally don't think either car is ricey, you are either into Rally style cars or your not.

The choices above........STi

Yeah I must admit I hated the EVO when it first came out. But over time it grew on me. Plus all the reviews say it handles better than the STI.:P
