What would you choose?
 
I got permission from the Wifey to upgrade to a new car in a year. Here are my options:


1. Mitsubishi EVO
2. Infiniti G35
3. 2006 Honda Civic Si


Which would you choose? and why?

shj503 08-03-2005 10:19 AM

G35 all the way

cg95660 08-03-2005 10:25 AM

G35....no need to explain just far better of a car built on a really good platform.

cubanmike26 08-03-2005 10:26 AM

Yup, G35 would be it.

CenZ 08-03-2005 10:29 AM

i picked the g, by lookin at the other cars it seems like youd get the coupe. the g is class and sport. also i feel its better made than the evo, and i dont know about the new si, so i cant say much.

jgrow44 08-03-2005 10:31 AM

most def. the g

exturbo6 08-03-2005 10:36 AM

EVO...dont get RWD, its no better then FWD. unless its a s2000. but anyways. get the evo, its AWD and here maybe this will presuade you.

I can afford it if I didnt have another car payment already. I just bought the Wifey a 2005 Odessey, so I have to keep my new car under $35K. :shrug:

jaredn 08-03-2005 12:12 PM

if your budget is 35k go for an 02 or 03 e46 M3. def better than your other choices imo

That is an awesome video, but you gotta remember that the EVO in that video is not a USDM version so I wont get the performance that you see in that video in a US version EVO.

I dont like to buy used cars! You just never know what other people have done to that car. Id rather buy a brand new car.

No Dout the M3 is SICK,shes got lots of power for a V6.
But I think the new M5 comes with a V10 :D

jaredn 08-03-2005 12:34 PM

i know u said u didnt like used cars... but this G35 is prolly one of the best and well maintained around http://www.dtmpower.net/classifieds/...1&cat=2&page=1

travjkytt 08-03-2005 12:50 PM

g all the way

AlpineCivic 08-03-2005 12:51 PM

^^^Damn thats nice.

KnocturnalEM2 08-03-2005 01:13 PM

Definately :_bow: G35!!

CHOSEN-FEW 08-03-2005 01:37 PM

I cant lie,the G35 is a hot whip.http://www.sarona.com/infiniti/if-g35-kt-0304-02-01.jpg http://www.yakuzaracing.com/media/ed...35frontlip.jpg

evopanop 08-03-2005 02:16 PM

I chose G35... because it's the obvious choice compared to the others, as it has style, luxury and speed. Although, if it were up to me I'd just bite the bullet and get the used M3 like a few others have talked about. Seriously now, just take the normal safety precautions and have the car checked out thoroughly before-hand, and you're set. For the money, the M3 is probably the best buy. Make sure you get the SMG tranny, though... *cough cough* :rofl:

Oh, and it has a I6, not a V6. :p And, yes, the new M5 has a V10. :sweet:

Edit: Just wanted to throw in that I've only owned 3 cars, thus far, in my lifetime... a '02 Firebird V6, a '97 Z3 2.8, and a '01 Civic EX. The Z3 and Civic were both bought used. So, personally, I don't see anything wrong with used cars. :sweet:

blackavian 08-03-2005 02:26 PM

I voted for the G35 before reading any of the posts. Then I watched the TopGear video. And even though the EVO is a beast for performance, I'd take the G35 still as it is an overall great car. It looks luxurious and sporty at the same time and I think it will provide adequate performance for someone looking to have some fun.

Go with the G35.

drew22mader 08-03-2005 02:43 PM

I like them all but what exactly are you looking for? Comfort, speed, luxury. I for one would go with the EVO8, are you planning to do aftermarket mods? G35 is sexy but the EVO is AWD, need i say more. Civic Si, NO, don't like the body at all compared to the others.

civ10jbiz 08-03-2005 02:49 PM

the g cuz they're fvckin awesome

allmotor 08-03-2005 03:13 PM

get the civic

WhiteCastle 08-03-2005 03:27 PM

Alright let me get straight to the point..
If you want a car to drive the piss out of through the canyons or at auto x, or at the track.. Get the EVO 8 MR
The evo 8 is the most bang for the buck performance wise out of all these cars. Go for the MR

if you want something that you can slap dubs on or body kit to your delight..sound system etc I would go for the G35.
I think the G35 is best for you honestly.. Its a good daily driver.


civic 2006 nahh man you have moved up in the world.. grab the evo or the g35..

My advise do not get a BMW used.. Unless you egt it through a dealer with a long ass warranty! those things break and its hella expensive to replace parts.

Also if your going to shop used wes... Look around for a c5 convertible or a (c5 corvette) they should run you between 34 and 38k
Corvette would be the best BANG/Looks/Performance for the buck out of every car you mentioned. :tup:

G35 is a sporty yet high class ride.. And its just pimp....
