Opinions Please. Looking to buy a new car soon.
After 14 months on the job, I've had enough of my CL and am moving on to better things. I'm torn between a few different cars....most of them around the $30k threshold. I don't have a specific type I'm looking for, there are different things about each car that I like, therefore I would like some opinions if you would.
(in no particular order)
1. 2005 Subaru Sti
2. 2004 Honda S2000
3. 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe
4. 2004 Nissan 350Z
5. 2004 Lexus IS300
6. 2003 BMW 325ci (used)
I've already test driven the Lex and the Bimmer and have an Sti test drive set up for tomorrow evening. IS and the 325 haven't really impressed me too much, but everything will be relative to me as soon as I finish testing these out. Any experiences/opinions?

Damn that's a nice Z. I'll think about it, seriously.

the car was 37k new plus 3 mos. ago i spent 2600$ on new 19" rims/tires...the stillen spoiler was 700$ installed, veliside carbon fiber front lip was 400$, lots of other goodies. the price i'm asking is what you would find a used stock 350z touring selling for...but i guarantee mine's in better condition than anything you'll find..lower miles etc. i'm selling because i just bought a house and need to cut down my monthly car expenses a bit.

I like 350Z since it geared towards performance but I wouldn't get earlier then 2005.
G35 comes second in mind and with $10-12G you'll see 12s easy with low boost on Twin Turbo.

Well, if you dont get zerodays Z, then i think the STi is gonna make you cream your shorts when you test drive.
Check out your local autocross for practice events, you can get a loaner helmet and ride passenger is most of these cars. Then youll really get to see what they can. No pampered test drives.
