I have been throwing around the idea of trading in on a sports sedan. Mostly to get some more room, since this is my primary driving car. There doesn't seem to be too many cars out there that are under $30k that appeal to me though... thoughts??

the STI and EVO are just compact cars on steroids, yes.
i like the G35. m3 sedans are nice, but a bit pricey.
i still think that this is a market none of the car companies have really nailed.
The WRX was a nice try, it has all the performance you could want--- but it looks like crap IMO and the interior is cheezy.

Get a used BMW 540i, great car and just get broke-in at 100,000 miles. For $30K you should be able to find a 99 with 50-60K miles. Why not buy and drive a beast it you need the room.

Way to be ignorant with a comment that car companies have neglected the sport sedan market.
IS300
BMW 330i
G35 Sedan
Altimate 3.5SE
Acura TSX/TL
If you want the performance of a Z and 4 doors, then you will be spending big $$$ to buy a nice BMW or Mercedes.

Buy used...
With $30,000 on hand, you can get yourself a loaded G35 (year old), or loaded 528 (couple years old, swap the badge with 540 and no one will know, j/k), or loaded A6 or even S4 (if you gonna drive in snow, 4-wheel drive is always nice).
But NO, you don't want to do that. Because then you won't have a Z, thus no longer as cool as us!

I am confused how people buy a car like a Z and then realize they need more room. I could see if your wife just got pregnant but you did know you were buying a 2 seater car right?

Used 330Ci is fun and comfortable. TL is way too slow. 540i was a good suggestion also but I would opt for the used 740IL. Also I would look into these:
Audi A6 2.7T
Mercedes CL320
E36 M3
But say goodbye to the stares and say hello to looking like every 2nd car on the road.

I would go for a used bmw, my bmw had 100,000 miles on it and never had one problem. I ran it hard too. Since they dont' make a 4 door e46 m3 the e36 m3 would be the one to get. I would go with a 540 with speed....very nice.

According to the October 2003 issue of Car and Driver, there Nissan has already introduced a 4-door Z!! (Note the red subheading of the article).
