Well i did not sift through the 7 pages so I don't know if anyone left a response like mine but here goes:

I've owned the RSX type S, I liked it. Yes it wasn't as fast as the others but it was still a nice driving car, insurance and gas were not that bad either.

Friend had an 07 350z , he traded it in for an 08 GTI, if that tells you anything. Yes the car is fast and fun to drive...sometimes. The thing was (as I was told) the 350 is not usable in everyday life. No space for anyone else but a single passenger, only a little room in the hatch for some stuff. Gas got super expensive, cause lets face it, he did not buy the z to putts around like an old man. Also insurance was expensive (and he was a 28y/o driver with a good history) not to mention I felt the interior was cramped.

Friend had an 06 s2k, I hated the interior, so cramped. It was a great looking car, and handle good. However I hated the power delivery. Once she got up into Vtec, nice and quick, but around town and down low in the rpm she was better then average honda but still nothing amazing IMO. I find that low end tq is much more usable then super high rpm power. THink about it, at what point in the average normal day are you going to need/want/have the ability to really open her up and not get in trouble? If you need to take a car to 7k to use her full power, not that great as a DD is it? Now don't get me wrong if I wanted/had time for a second weekend car this might be it. On twisty drives through the Mt's and such, awesome awesome car, I just do not think it's a nice everyday car.

Friend had a G35 (same guy who had a s2k) I like it so much better then his last car (except his Fx, but he hated that thing). Nice balance of sport and luxury. Fun driver, nice fair amount of room and it looked hot. Sounded good in stock form, plus has nice tq for everyday driving. If it were me this would be the way to go.

As it is I drive a Mini Cooper S (as a gap to the 135i ) and I like it. Decent TQ for around town, killer gas milege, and handles supurb. No room in the back for PPL, but I removed the seat and put in the delete kit for it, now I have tons of space for loading things in.
