just get the 350z, i never hear of nissans getting stolen! lol
(im sure it happens though)
as far as the cost to repair all those cars listed, it wont be as cheap as a honda civic. But youll have a warranty right? :-D

engine recalls from 2004-2006 FTW!
+ side to this is that you can get em for cheap
downside is the motor, the styling, the gas and oil consumption, and did i mention the motor?

I drove the golf GTI yesterday... That car is amazing... Pretty well every compartment is air conditioned (for drinks ect.) around 3k it has awesome pickup... and they ride REALLY nice.
BUT, if space and practicality wasn't what I wanted, a 350 would be in my driveway.

Are we talking about new cars here?
1) RX-8 is a nice car. Rotary engines are a lot of fun. Never driven one though - only been in an auto, so I didn't get a very good impression of how it can be driven.
2) 350Z is a nice car, too, though a bit overweight for what it's trying to do and what is claims to do. It's kinda like Japan's answer to the Mustang. It's fast though, and has a lot of torque.
3) Good cars, but the new ones look freaking stupid. I flat-out wouldn't buy one because the front clip looks like ****.
4) No way. I'd buy a 3-series lightyears before I'd consider a G35. Why? Well, because a 3-series doesn't have so much bodyroll you think the car is going to flip over while taking a 20mph turn. Also, for as much as they're asking for these cars, the interior shouldn't feel like a Hyundai's. G35 FTL, imo.
5) Rabbit/GTi are good cars. I've always liked Veedubs, but the hp isn't very impressive and front-wheel drive is not fun at all.
Given that the interior quality on all these cars is questionable at best, it'd come down to performance and price. 1, 2, and 5 would be my choices for new cars, but if we're talking used, that changes everything.
Oh, and why not check out the E90 3-series?

CURIOUZ G thanks for the article....that changes the RX8........civicoupe2k2 im talkin bout used cars.......hows the older model 3 series on all these subjects...like 2003 2004???? Also do they steal WRX a lot they stole my boys wrx actually his brothers hes got one as well but they stole only his brothers.
The 350z the wifey said no its only a two seater 
.....The G35 they askin 26,ooo for a used one wayyy tooo much......So as of now im leaning towards a 2003-2005 bmw 3 series or a 2004 wrx. althoughhh if they tell me it will be 450 a month for that used 2 dr g35 ill take it.....since they also have to pay off my car i owe about 7g's 2001 civic 83k.

350 is deff your best bet
Reasoning-
Mazada rotary fall apart
g35 4drs are ugly
wrx is alright but you should just get a sti if your getting a subby
VW break alot and are alot to fix when modded

Rep Power: 247 subi trannys are ****. dont get one. my buddies blew 5 months after getting it new w/no upgrades on it. same goes for my uncle after he retuned and upgrade his boost, and they are hella good drivers.
go for the 350Z i traded my civic in for mine about a year ago and i LOVE IT...its better than the rotory engine mazda...and everyone has wrxs'...anyway you can get cheap parts on MY350z.COM
****, if you can afford it, get a FACELIFTED e46 330CI. when i say facelifted, its 2004-2005 with the LED taillights. them things are quick. my boy has one in SMG and that thing HAULS. the sound of that inline 6 is superb, handling is like a scalpol(sp?), and the turning radius OWNS. not to mention they look nice as hell when they're equipped with the ZHP package.
oh and np on the link. i use to love rotaries and still do but hell, the rx-8 is a huge huge downfall to the R legacy.
"i owe about 7g's 2001 civic 83k." wait wait wait, you still owe 7g's on a almost 6 yr old car? oh man, you gotta reconsider buying another car thats more then if you cant even pay off a civic. and by no way am i flaming you or anything but i just think thats kinda weird

They stuck me with a horrible intrest rate.....this is why exactly i want to get a new car....The dealership offered to pay it off, i do love that bmw 04-05....ima actually go and check the dealership they said they have a few G35's that came in. Oh and also i was thinking at the rate im going when im done paying off my car it will have 140k lolll ill most likely get 2gs.
