    Buy the car that you want, asking here will get you opinions of what others would like.

    I think they all have their place but the boxster is the odd one out, for DD I would prefer the 350Z. My heart says S2K but my mind says 350Z. The STi attracts the wrong kind of attention IMO.

    For practical use the Subaru, its all wheel drive, back seats and its pretty fast. Im not sure about what I think of the new look though. Correct me if Im wrong but I think subaru got one of the top designers from Alfa Romeo to do there new look?

    The pratical side of me says STI, but truthfully i think i would go for the S2000... atleast for a play car. I guess depends how much torque really means to you.

    How about something newer and different from some of those 'me too' cars. For the money you will have to pay for some of those cars you can get a new Audi A3 3.2 Quattro with the ultra-slick DSG gearbox. It will be a more proctical daily driver than any of those cars but has ample performance to go with its luxury. The A3 has been getting rave reviews by C&D (ten best winner), Motortrend, & R&T magazines.

    You can technically get a ticket for each window that's illegally tinted. So as above, if you're being an ass to the officer (or if he's just an ass to begin with), he can give you two. (or three tickets if you're dumb enough to tint the windshield of your BMW... but if you own a BMW you can't be stupid right?)

    Buy the Sti. The 350z doesn't appeal to me that much, being just averate at everything it does, the boxters are coming up on being 8-10 years old for those ones you listed and the only thing the S2000 can do is handle well....it is very slow, has no torque and needs to be over 6000rpm or so to even go moderately fast. To me, that is no fun whatsoever and I don't see how that appeals to anyone unless you like a screaming engine that doesn't do much and pretty good handling. The Sti is the fastest car in the bunch and likely the best handling too. It also has a back seat and AWD. What more can you ask for IMO. If you don't like the huge wing just throw on a wrx wing if your worried about attention. Also if you want to do any mods, the STi is again your best bet as the only way to get any real HP gains out of the other cars would be an expensive supercharger or turbo kit. With the Sti there are plenty things you can do that make a significant difference, even a bigger turbo if you want.

    Alot of votes for the STI's & while I like them & think they are a great car I find that people are selling them within a year or two of buying them at an alarming rate.

    My guess is:
    Expenisive car, very poor gas mileage, Interior is very very basic, lots of attention from other drivers.
    I think the demographic buying them grows tired quickly.

    he said play car... so obviously, it wont be driven in the winter, eliminating the STi (can't believe i said that) porsche is odd man out, and personally i think overdone (wayyyy too many out this summer) i would go for s2k or 350z, and being a honda fanboy personally say s2k (I <3 my honda) but its all your choice! all good cars!

    If you want the ugliest car known to mankind, buy an STi.

    I'm sorry, I love the STi, but it's horrendous.
