What about a Mercedes c230 sedan? MSRP is around $34,000 but you can get one out the door for $30,000. Decently equipped for that price too.
What's a cool, comfortable '06 car for a single heart broken guy? :)

That does not sound like a mid life crisis to me. If it were, you would not want any of these qualities apart from 'good looking'

No, the STI puts out 300hp/300lb-ft torque, the Baja only has 210hp/235lb-ft tourque.
I say if you're looking for a compact car, the Subaru WRX or a fully loaded Mazda 3 definitely fits the bill.
For a midsize car, consider the Honda Accord Hybrid (0-60 in 6.1 seconds while getting 30/37 mpg!) or the Subaru Legacy GT (the turbo one).
Thanks for the responses! I asked about a New car because I can get an 'inside deal' on those mentioned companies, so I figured might as well get a new car....right? I'm checking on other companies but they would be out of state.
Ya'll are right. I need something that picks up chicks and makes me feel good driving it. So looks ought to be priority.
BMW 325i is similarly priced.
Friend has one. Comfy. But looking for New car right now.
Looks like a great car for the $, but still a Mazda....
I'm a tennis teaching pro. I'm in shape The best workout is sexercise. Could add more muscle mass for sure though. I already have lady friends
see? I need a nice car to replace my 4Runner.
I drive my friend's Z sometimes and it's great car, but I could use more space for my tennis bags.
Looking at New car right now....but you're right, that would get me a nice rush, women, and death all at once. It's perfect.
Carpe Diem my friend.
Out of my Texas listings, I can't seem to like anything.
This is harder then I thought....I think I'll just go win the Lotto then get me a Dodge Viper that screams, FVCK ME! but then I'd be here everyday trying to keep it clean :grinno:

There is no better feeling on earth than a good workout.
Then with your new vigor and body, you will have lots of lady friends

HomicidalSloth said:A non-M BMW? Camery? Civic? Come on, you said mid-life crisis didn't you?
The ultimate mid-life crisis car = Corvette. For $30k, you could get a nice C5 'Vette, which is just what you need to feel young again. Wouldn't be very bad for trips either, so long as you're going alone. Who needs a back seat if it's just you? The LS1 V8 is a reliable engine, parts are cheap (a lot cheaper than a BMW!), and gas mileage isn't that bad, especially on the highway (they have so much low-end torque that they can be geared super-low for freeway cruising, and get around 30 mpg).
That's the obvious choice to me.

I would go for a Subaru Legacy.

Out of the manufacturer's you listed, here is what I would get, with what you said you wanted:
Honda : S2000 - might not be big enough for you, but it's an awesome car, and it's a vert, just over 30k
Chevy : Nothing under 30k
Toyota : Nothing under 30k
Dodge : Charger R/T - Fast, lots of space, decent looks, can be REAL FAST, just over 30k
Hyundai : Tiburon - Really isn't fast, looks ok, decent motor, we'll have a lot of money left over compared to my other 2 picks
If it were me, and I wanted space too, and I was picking out of these 5 manufacturers as a 27 year old recently single, it would be the Charger. If I don't need that much space, the S2000. But keep this in mind, I have had TWO S2000s (a 2000 and the one I have now, a 2005)!!! :2thumbs:
Good luck.

Dude, with friends like in the picture, why worry about cars?!?
If you are going through an early mid-life crisis, but something low and fast. If you get something sensible, you blow the whole idea of a mid-life crisis. Z-car. BMW, but you need to make it a M car, or it doesn't count. Of course, didn't Porsche make a fortune on mid-life crisis?
Don't go sensible. If you do that, might as well keep the 4-Runner. For goodness sake man, don't buy a 4 door! Those are reserved for old guys like me and Accumulator.

I just found out I can get deals on any car used or new. Open market now! wOOt! The reason for the 4 door is because my father is going to pay for half of it only if it's a 4 door....
I'm going to try very hard and try to convince him to let me get whatever I want without restrictions.
So, new ball game. ANY CAR less then $30k!! but NEED trunk space! (350z ain't gonna make it)
2001 M3 is leading the race right now! Looking at this makes me SMILE!

Now that it is open market, here are some choices:
1. Old Body-sytle S4
2. Acura TL (used) or how about a TSX (new)
3. If you could find one use - a Chrylser 300 C
4. BMW 330i
5. How about a current body style Audi A-4 quattro?

01 M3 will be a great car for ya, but be prepared for BMW maintenance prices. I looked at an E36 car before, but when I started going through the service reciepts.....I decided that I would pass. I'd get a C5 if it were me. I have seen some well kept C5 Z06s for like $32k, which I am sure you could get them to come off a little bit.
If you want a new car that is fun to drive AND sensible, I'd probably look into one of those new lil cobalts. I'm not exactly sure what they are getting for them, but I never see the SS model on the street, and it should get good gas mileage with decent pickup (I read an article that put it right about with the SRT-4).

Heh heh, yeah, exactly. But there *are* a few cool 4 doors if you want to buy used (S4, E36 M3, various older AMG Benzes).
Well, now that you bring AMG into the picture, I am with you, although I would guess AMG prices it self out of this purchase.
M3, I still go coupe if I am single AND mid-lifeing it. However, Don looks pretty your to be mid-life. If he is mid-life, I am way over the hill and I never got the 911!
I still say 2 doors. If not a 350Z, and the new Skyline is out, what's left? SC400? I don't know what would be Japanese and big enough. I say if a Vette doesn't work, I say M3, S4, AMG, or still my favorite, PORSCH-AH...... Yep.
I say, "Go German!" And for Goodness Sake, don't buy an automatic!
