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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
