ultimately it is your money, buy what you like not what others on a internet forum that do not know you likes.

i would just go test drive a few cars and think about what your looking for and go with that.

i am currently debating on a new evo x or a bmw m3. the evo is more versitile year round but is a little noisey inside and the bmw is more luxurious inside but is rwd which means no where near as good in the snow. it is tough moving on to another car, it usually takes me about 1 or so years to decide lol. but i end up with the car i want and do not have to worry about making the wrong choice.
