Have been in car buying investigation mode for 6 months, drove just about everything that's under 40K and engineered for driving pleasure. Liked driving the WRX but couldn't get past its appearance, chintzy materials, and noise...just envisioned the car in a couple of years, knew it would be a mess. Liked the RX-8 but already have a small sports car, needed something practical. Drove the R32 and simply found nirvana. Not the fastest, but I'm not a street racer either. But for simple driving enjoyment, with a dollop of comfort, quality, practicality, and discretion...this car just can't be beat. Can only think of 3 cars I'd change this one for under 60K, the M3, S4, and CTS-V...nothing else can give you the whole enchilada and for about 25K less than those.
