Sports cars don't have four door.

I think you can find a hardly used Boxster for that price. I test drove a new Z two weeks ago. Drives great but not subtle enuff a little over styled. The G35 coupe works a little better but its too luxo-styled. The Boxster though there are everywhere here, lotsa girls driving them, strikes the right balance.

A4, no questions asked. I can't belive some people compare it to a ricer...tsk.tsk...
If you want the smoothest f-ing car there is, go for the 3.0 Multitronic. My partner bought one last month, everything except TV for 42K. (how good are you at bargaining?)
Or, you could buy mine... 02 A6 2.7T, loaded and DB-racing equipped. Beats the shit out of any sports car below $100K...

Look for an older model M3. I've seen a few in the $15k-$25k range. with the extra dough you could add some aftermarket performance options.
or get an S2000. :) completely inpractical, but it is a convertible thats pretty damn fast.

audis are great cars with no powerband. but lotsa midrange power. hell civics have a higher power output than an audi.
as far as pure driving enjoyment, the audi'sare ok. althought they are engineered to take the fun out of doing some sick ass drifting and shit. as far as long term reliability...bleh. i'd get a subaru for long term...not looks though...ick
its all about cost. some cars get old fast. there are lots of cars out there. choose wisely. and pick one YOU will enjoy. f** our opinions.
VW GTI R32 is nice. drove it again this weekend. not blisteringly fast, but damn, its quick. salesman kept telling me to slow down. i was like "um, if i buy this, i want to make SURE that it can handle what i plan to do with it everyday."
:)
are you in the usa? or outside? more cars to choose from if outside...

I just sat in a 350Z roadster (the convertable) over lunch and I'm in love. There's actually enough head/leg room and everything. What a slick car. Thing is, its more like 39K with options. :(
and yes taragee i guess that makes me a tool :P

I'd second the used Porsche. It woill be a 95, at best (if you go 911), but it will still look at drive like a 65k machine.
You can get one on Ebay Motors or Autobytel with about 20k-30k miles.And they do have a backseat.
If you must have new (warranties are nice), the 350 is the way to go. I've got a 92 TT 300Z and it's fantastic!
Personally, I'd take the Porsche, or wait until the 350Z goes twin turbo - then it will be a world class car!

Definatly the Nissan 350Z

what can you get for under 35 with leather, heated seats.. It's whats on the inside that counts! :) As long as I'm comfortable I'm happy. If I'm so comfortable I fall asleep at the wheel, oh well.

1973 Convertible Cadillac El Dorado.
You can get a cherry one for under $10K, you can use the leftover dough for curbfeelers, fuzzy dice, and gas money. You'll need it.

no offence, but what's up with old american cars? Why would you even want a car from the 70s? Bearing in mind that the safety is a joke, they handle like a shopping cart, whatever power the engine delivers - not more than 35% of the HP makes it to the wheels, the technology and the engine is STONE AGE. Not to mention that you'll need 20% of your time to repair it..
Would you want a 13 year old computer because its "cool"?
I'm just asking, because driving around in a car of that age "over here" would make people turn their heads (and that's not because they're "pretty")
So, why choose a 30-40 year car over a new one? I'm just curious, since lots of people seem to make that choice. Don't tell me you're influenced by rap videos, because then I would slap you.

Maybe it's because all new cars pretty much look like overdesigned eggs. Maybe it's because you don't need all the handling and power in the world if you're only driving in the city. Maybe it's because for all their faults, those old boxes still had some soul in them.
Don't get me wrong, i drive a egg-shaped car, too, but an old boat will turn my head sooner than any ferrari or audi.
