I would get a tsx, even an s2000 is attainable with that kind of money.

Already did get one for the wife. 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R
Why?

For space that it carries for a family of 4, and it had to be the primary over my Civic.
It's Japanese
It's a V6 for power
SE-R for peformance and all the extra goodies
And it damn well looks bad ***!


Being second hand and had 46,000 KM, it was broken in already, had warranty still.

Other car I was looking at recently was the Lancer GTS........ for what you get in the car with the 18" rims, sports suspension even if you add the sun and sound package which include the rockford fosgate sound system sub included, or the navi with the hard drive, the price is great, and the warranty is unbelievable for Mitsubishi.

I'd snag a xB. Think they are a sick looking ride stock, and there does seem to be a lot out there for them. Don't see many of them around, so uniqueness is always a plus. Room for cargo, and still fuel efficient.

OR

Fix up a 1st gen CR-V. Jean's always wanted to get one. Always liked them too. Would serve the 2 of us quite well I would think.

I'd look for the best used Imprezza WRX or even an STi (for a fun car). The S2k is very tempting as well. There are so many cars out there to choose it's hard to pick one specifically.

^ Yeah the STi is more 30K+. I would slide in to a TSX or something like that.

I meant older ones. And yeah they're probably still closer to $30,000 used, but close enough.


But I'd probably buy an s2k for a fun car. For a daily driver for $25k, I'd have to think about it.
