TSX overall a great car.
Another good car would be the G35 coupe followed by the Accord Coupe V6 6spd. Oh, and the RX-8 too!

Rep Power: 0 I used to like the RSX but in my city, it's like 90% driven by women...It's almost as bad as driving a Jetta...
I'd like a 350Z...Anyone know if they're good to buy used?

Rep Power: 0 My vote would be for an Accord V6 coupe, or a 2006 Pontiac G6 coupe. The G6 coupe isn't out yet, but I saw it at a car show and it is damn hot. Major improvement over usual GM quality. Not sure if its under 30k, but a 350z would be sweet.

To the thread starter, don't buy a used 30k car... get a new one. Subaru Legacy GT is GREAT and very reliable, fast, great interior and exterior and fun to drive because AWD + TURBO, plus it has a great suby warranty!

Anyone watch Formula D on G4TV? There's a 500hp rear wheel Impreza that's sick...every car I look at now is nothing...It's like hooking up with a really really hot girl...sigh...her name was Amanda...
The STI is nice...On subaru's website you can click the RS sedan (18k) and the STI (32k)...they look so similar...but they're not...
Thanks for the opinions...

Rep Power: 313 also, if youre that far in debt, why are you thinking about trading in your car for something for more expensive?
I'd be working on getting out of debt first. You drive an 03 civic afterall.

Rep Power: 304 Well in the 30K price bracket, if I was in the market for a roadster, the S2K would be my choice hands down. However, the 2006 mx-5 seems very enticing as well...
For a luxury touring car, I'd go with the G35 coupe, but the price tag on those are a little overpriced for essentially a 2+2 350Z with a little more refinement. I would also consider the TSX.
But for a blend of it all, you can always go for the RX-8. I did, and have no complaints. They're a little more rare than a G35 or Z also...kinda nice to only see another RX-8 once a week or so.
I wouldn't even consider the Z. I tested it several times, and it really was tiresome to drive. I'm not going to turn this into a 350Z review, but trust me when I say it's definitely not a very "communicative" car which is one of the first things I look for in a car that's fun to drive. I've never tested the G35C but I suspect it's a similar driving experience.

Rep Power: 0 i agree if your so much in debt just save the money pay it all off, im pretty sure that will be better in the long run, and with gas prices going up so much driving a civic is paying off. thats what i would do if i was u...but, your life
