So I've been test driving like mad the past few weeks in search of a new daily driver.

The bottom line is I want something that I won't be so tempted to mod because it's very well equipped from the factory. Lower miles and an existing warranty would be ideal.

I've looked at...

~ '0? Volvo S60R (too plain in general, and I wasn't very impressed with the feel of the car)

~ '02 Jag Xtype Sport w/ 3L, MT and navi. Insurance was crazy for these and performance wasn't that great.

~ '05 Infinity G35 Coupe w/ ?Touring? package (golden brembo goodness ), 6MT, navi and it totally spotless w/ 14K on the clock. Performance and handling is about where I'd like (intake and cat-back would be the only mods I'd want to do other than a nice staggerd 19" or 20" set of wheels ) and the best part is the insurance would be only $100 more every 6 months than my CSVT was! By far this car has me swinging from it's sack!

I've also test drove a lot of other cars like '05 Dodge Magnum RT, '02 Audi TT Quattro coupe, '03 Linc Aviator, '04 Limited Exploder, '03 Terminator, '04 Lightning and others that aren't even worth bringing up.

Is there something else I should look at that's about 25K?

Audi S4 = broken turbos and impossible not to mod
Acura = FWD and therefore not an option
Subaru = good
Pontiac GTO = good
Mustang = not as good

G35 gets my vote.

G35 Coupe...the problem is that you wont get the golden brembo brakes with the 6-MT..Those were only offered till 2004. However the new interiors starting from 2005 are MUCH MUCH better then that of the older style. As for packages, there only a few, Premium package pretty much having all the standard stuff like heated seats and all that. HIDs are standard. The best options to get would def. be the Navi, Infiniti has the best Navi that i know off and I've pretty much been is most the top cars. The 19" new forged alloy rims are the hottest rims for that car, makes it look badass. I'd put my money down with the G35 because that VQ motor makes the sound that will always make u giggle like a little girl when u get on it

dont get exhaust for the G, completely ruins the car sound, the stock exhaust is just a sexy purr. Just stick with a JW pop-cahrger intake or an Ijen CAI..
