Ive had my evo for a couple years how had a great time with it and enjoyed its performance and functionality.

Now I'm looking for something a little more professional and classy but I don't want to give up much performance. I want something that is more comfortable and that makes a nicer daily driver without sacrifising the acceleration or too much handling.

Currently I'm looking at used M3 or used AMG series mercedes anyone have any other ideas for a budget of 45k or under? (I don't like audi/VW)

 

C6 Z06. I hope to get in one after 2-3 yrs with the EVO.

 

You could definitely get a used M3 with low miles for under $45K.....look around at autotrader, or if ur daring, u could check out e-bay. Also, i would look into a used C32 AMG.....very nice car with a crapload of torque and horsepower. Just shop around and do some research......good luck!

 

A C6 ZO6 would be awesome, but I highly doubt it's going to be $45k and under.

 

M3 is the car I envision myself owning after my VIII. I couldnt justify getting a IX and early drawings of the X looks ugly.

 

New G35 looks pretty nice or Volvo S60R if you are really looking for something more professional and don't mind the thought of driving a Volvo.

I like the M3 thought, and I'm personally a fan of the S4 (but you said you don't like Audis.) And anything with AMG on it gets a bonus point in my bood...I even thought about putting an AMG sticker on my girlfriend.

 

definetly G35.

the exhaust note alone is sooothing.

G35 is a good one, but I'd take a used M3 over a new G35. Plus I believe the M3 would be a great project car. Or how about the new MazdaSpeed 6, you could be one of the first to really start modifying that car. What ever you choose will be great, but when the EVO X comes out, come back to the EVO nation (and fan club).

 

The Elise is good, but he wants more of a daily driver. I've sat in one of those things, and I never really considered myself tall (5'10) but I sure the hell felt tall in that car. The Elise is a great track car.

 

I would NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a used German car. Maintenance and repair is ridiculous plus they are pieces of crap (except for Porsche). Give me a good quality Nissan or Infiniti with an outstanding warranty and company to back it up any day over nicer leather seats but a rattling broken piece of crap car. I speak from experience.

I would get a C6 and yes, you can get one in your budget.

 

G35 man. Then buy the turbonetics single turbo kit

 

After I'm done with school and paying it all off, I'd probably go to a more professional car. I'm not sure what though. Perhaps an M3 or Porsche?
