EVO is a nice car and all but I don't like how they have people check up on you and if they find you at a road course or auto-x they void your warranty.

I would get the STI out of your choices. If you're going to test drive, at least check out the Legacy GT. It's a great car to drive, and as long as you've got the salesman's interest you might as well try it.

Love my 2006 Impreza..sure it aint no STi, but they're amazing and reliable cars for the price.

I have a 350Z and love it. The STi and Evo are great cars, but to me they're just horribly unattractive. I wanted a car that was balanced in performance, comfort, cost, and appearance; for me, the 350Z was the answer.

What do you mean by Nismo? Heavily modifying it? Nismo this Nismo that? If you are, I'd go with that. Otherwise STi.

It's a Japanese Tuner company dedicated to Nissans.

Go with the one you like the most, I'm not sure how anyone on an internet forum could change your decision.

Nismo "tuned" 350Z from the factory.
Check it out.

My friend has a 350z, UNimpressive to say the least. Its sharp roadster but thats all. Even if you go FI with the z its still slow. You do know the evo 8 is last years model? Go with the evo 9, many refinements done since the 8. Test drive the evo you'll have a smile from ear to ear.

The new Evo is an absolute monster 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The 350z isn't even close in performance.

Well, when the OP lists cars from a plain STi to an M5, you know this is a bullsh!t thread.

Good point. I only read the part where he said the only cars he would consider were in the poll. Now I know he's full of sh!t.

And yeah, someone considering $30k cars against $80k cars is clearly full of it.
