For your own good, stay away from the european cars. Pick up the current(I think.. I just got it from the store last week) Consumer reports. It's the yearly auto issue. That'll give you a good idea of what is reliable and was isn't. That will cut down your choices some.

^^Stating that all euro cars are crap is a pretty big statement isnt it? I really disagree... The only non euro car I or my family have ever owned was my eclipse and that was the most unreliable car we have yet to come across. Germans know what they are doing, they dont build tin cans ;)

It all depends on how you take care of the car....

I would get either the G35 or the M3. They are both comfortable, fast, and look great. You don't have to sacrafice much with those cars. Some of the other cars listed are too one dimensional. I vote against an EVO for you because it would end up having 600+ hp and would go from being reliable to a race car really quick. A G35 would be perfect in my opinion.

I vote G35, GTO, 03-04 Cobra. All can get pretty good milage depending on how they are driven and all are obviously fun and sporty with room for improvements should you decide to in the future.

After having that Volvo S40 as a rental car, I want one so bad. It's probably not in the bag for me right now, but someday it'd be nice. The 2005 and up models, and interior is gorgeous! The one we had over there was a 6-speed turbo diesel, but I think the ones in the states are turbo 5cylinders, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'd say it's worth taking a look at. You gotta sit in one to enjoy it I think, one of the nicer interiors I've seen.

A G35 is what I would like to get but I can't find one I like in my price range.
