Hey all,

Just need some options / ideas.

Im going to sell the GTR in the not to distant future, as its only my daily and id like something a bit more modern, new and able to fit 4/5 fairly comfy.

Looking for something modern

$22, 000 or less ish

Nothing older then around 2000
Prefer big enough for 4 people
Manual preferably
Sporty looking but very comfortable as a daily
Something not totally gutless

Something I can make look decent, rims lowered exhaust etc
Leaning towards a nissan V35.......

but any other ideas??

Cheers

Adam

How about something like this? It doesn't meet all your criteria but it certainly matches most of them http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-C32-2003/SSE-AD-2136168/?Cr=99&sdmvc=1

Bro-in-law owns a TRD Aurion. Nice car, plenty of grunt, lots of room for four adults, decent looking without being over the top and nice interior. Interior plastics are typical Toyota but they did a reasonble job of adding some flair with colour.

An Evo :yes:

Haha thanks mate, already had an evo :P

Just not sure about auto only and front wheel drive, but definatly on my list to atleast have a look at

Theres a 1JZ powered Lexus IS on JDMST.. Maybe worth a look if your after a faster version...

any link mate i cant see it??

can't go past a stagea, can go camping, heaps of room and power etc

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

Interesting

Ive narrowed it down, so far. well at least want to have a look at the following

-V35

- IS200

- 350z

- GS300

- TRD aurion

Mums and Dad both drive Gs300's my sister got an is200 if I had to pick between them is say the GS purely because it is a better ride then the is but a trd aurion are quite good to my cousin has one there not as quick as a standard r34gtt but for what they are there really good

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

The 350z = a modern Stagea, what is it you are against exactly? Wagons?

Aurion = front wheel drive = Ghey. Adding a supercharger doesn't change anything... Just my opinion.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
