If you had to choose between the following cars...

My lease is up in a month on my 04 TL 6MT and still dont know what I am gonna get....What do you think of these options. Granted some are sedans, I am looking for best performance and looks for the money (under $39000ish)

06 Mitsubishi Evo IX
07 Inifinity G35S Sedan or 07 Infinity G35coupe
07 Acura Tl Type S
07 Subaru STI
07 Mazdaspeed 3

I need a car that is faster and better performing than my TL that is why I choose the above.

Thanks!!

if you're looking for performance, luxury, and looks, i might suggest looking at a used 330i/330ci.

07 STi Limited is nice. It has leather, fog lights and loses the boy racer spoiler.

G35-S but if you don't really take people out and don't really need leg room in the back? I'd go for the G37 Coupe...

The Acura and the Infiniti aren't even in the same class as the other three. Your real decision is "boy racer" or "sport luxury".

id take the type s or the g35 sedan ... im only 18 and i STILL feel too old for the evo/sti "boy racer" cars haha...theres nothing like a classy sedan that hauls ass ... sure you wont put down numbers like the evo/sti but you're a hell of a lot more comfortable and still not slow by any means.

G35 coupe (G37 if you want to wait for the new model next year) or a TL-S

I've always kindof had a thing for Evos too, but that might just be because i'm still a kid.

Evo 9 for it's potential.

If you're going to keep it stock, go with one of the others you've mentioned.

The Evo IXs potential is just amazing. A lot of people with just a turbo back exhaust, mbc, and a tune or making well over 300 whp, and running mid to low 12s. I think there was a guy with a TBE, intake, MBC, and a tune that was running an 11.8.

Of course I am partial to the G35 because I have a 2007 G35x, however as someone already mentioned its an odd mix of cars. Some boy ricer type cars(nothing wrong with that) or sport luxury, you have to figure out what you want, you take for granted the refinement and luxury you currently have. I know at the point I am in my life I wouldn't want to back peddle to a sport compact, I felt the STi limited was lacking in refinement enough not to purchase one.

If your serious about a G35, get a 07 sedan or wait until the 08 coupe comes out, other wise your going to get killed by a sharply dropping residual value. Also drive the manual before you get it, a lot of people(myself included) didn't like it, it transfers a lot of vibration through the shifter and is a far cry from being a rewarding car to shift. My previous 4 cars were all manuals and I just didn't like the 6 speed in the G.

Think of it like this, you pay some luxury for power. Which ever you want more, should be able to tell you which car to get.
