Car choices

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

So I'm planning on getting a newer car sometime this summer, and can't really decide what I want. I do know that I want it to be RWD, 5 or 6 speed manual, and not a Mustang.

As some of you know, I've strongly been considering the new Genesis Coupe, but for the price of the model I want, there's alot of other options for less money. If I go used, I don't really wanna spend much more than $20k.

A couple other options I've been considering is a 350z. Seems like those are going from anywhere from $15-$25k depending on the model. I've also been considering a Miata, but I don't really like the way the current gen looks, so it would have to be a '99 - '05 body style. The only downside to those cars, is that they are 2 seaters. But I don't really ever have more than myself, and my dog or a couple bags of groceries in the car at any one time, so it's not really too much of an issue.

I plan on daily driving the car, and I have no problem driving a RWD car in the snow, just gotta have a decent set of snow tires and a limited slip diff.

Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions for other cars I should look into?

My suggestions would have to be G35 coupe, S2000, E46 M3, or 328i/330i, or find a mint E36 M3. The last two might be bumping your price range up a bit though.

I personally wouldn't get a miata.

If you decide against the Genesis Coupe:
S2k
G35 Coupe
350Z

My coworker has a 350Z and its a nice car, bigger and more spacious compared to the S2k, but not as much of a pure sports car. If you go that route, he may actually be selling it so let me know. The G35 is very similar to the Z, just a nicer interior and a tiny backseat.

I was considering a G35 coupe but I don't really like the way they look. They seem kinda bland to me.

I personally like the new genesis otherwise I like 350z's and s2k's. there is always the srt-8s or the g8, saturn sky redline or solstice gxp if you want to go domestic

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I haven't heard many good things about the transmissions in the SRT8's. The G8 is kinda meh... The sky redline has also crossed my mind. Just did a little searching, and S2k's aren't really as expensive as I thought they would be.

I've seen a yellow s2k in shoreview a few times and it was pretty sweet

They saturn sky is pretty awesome....but for around $10,000 you can get a really nice used s2000.

even if it has a quarter of a million miles, i would rather own a honda then a brand new gm/ford/Nissan

[Kracka]

$10k won't get you a really nice S2k, but $15k will. Glad I sold mine when I did with how the prices have crashed!

Seems like a good list to me.
