Would you consider an Altima 3.5 SR

MSRP: $24,520
Invoice: $22,727

They have trims that aren't as gas guzzling, like Altima 3.5S, Altima 2.5 SR or Altima 2.5 S. All decent "fun" imo.

I dont know why I didn't think of the S60 R at first. A fabulous car! It has these big confortable seats, active chassis settings, 300hp 2.5L Turbo, AWD, the styling is also very beautiful. It would make good DD status, and is also very very fun. I've driven tons of them and have fallin in love with them. The market for them is around $20k to $30K depending on the shape, mileage, and year of the car.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

335i or S4's would probably be out of budget for you. As others have said, they get to $60k when spec'd up.

G37 is a great choice. Looks great, plenty of power. Comfy front seats, but mediocre rear seats.

TL SH-AWD is FUN. Get a manual. The torque vectoring is very good on windy roads. Can't get past the looks though...

IMO, a GTI is a good car; practical, fun, affordable, economical. But I think you probably won't consider a GTI after driving an STi though.

performance wise it doesnt have to be on par with a sti, ideally, it would be a fun when i want it to be and comfy for those daily drives.
throw me any suggestions u have.

preferably 4 doors
have you ever driven an STI? Or been IN one? They are pretty comfortable and "luxurious" stock.

It's when you start modifying them that they get unbearable.

lol please, maybe i should ask YOU the same question, have YOU owned one?
stock, it's not comfortable, the oem suspension is BOUNCY as hell, the seats give u an aching back if driven for more than an hour straight, and dont get me started with the interior. hell even a nice set of aftermarket coilovers RIDES BETTER THAN STOCK. there is nothing "comfortable" or "luxurious" about a sti.

if u've ever owned one u'll know not to use the words COMFORTABLE and LUXURIOUS to describe the car even in STOCK form.

I don't agree, stock the car is pretty comfortable for what it is capable of. However my experience is with the GR chassis (08+)

He owns one - he already said so. I would assume that being an owner of a vehicle means that you've driven it or at least been in it?

It's pretty ridiculous to say the STI rides like a luxury car. It doesn't. Just because it's softer than a clapped out civic doesn't mean it's a luxury ride dude.

It's all a matter of what you're happy with. Obviously not everybody has the same standards of what's acceptable and what isn't, or everyone would be in an s2000, and not some luxo boat like your skyline.

I would suggest a Volvo S60R or a Volvo S40 T5 AWD. It's a shame that the S60R went out of production after 2007 so you can only get them used.

^^ I wouldn't go to the extent of them being a rock. However, I will agree with you that their interior isn't that great at all. It seems those car companies spend 95% of their time on the exterior and 5% on the interior when it comes to esthetics.

You should check out this months article in Automobile Magazine, called Life After Evo and the two cars they chose are 2010 Audi S4 and 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD.

Bounciness is due to shitty stock seats, not OEM suspension. "Head bobble" as most STI owners will tell you.

2010 Subaru STI
It's quite comfortable . Use the I mode for regular , and Sport Sharp Mode if you want to have fun

STI is way to go , $39999 for a Base one that already includes everything

compared to my evo x, the sti felt like a camry. It actually qualifies as comfortable in my books.

No I haven't but I've spent a shit load of time in one. Mind you it's an 09 and might be different than what you're used to. His car is super nice, comfortable and great on road trips.

I don't spend a lot of time on here, but from the time I have I really have grown a hatred towards you.

Not everyone has $ to spend on a 60k "luxury" car. Come to mention it, what do you drive?
