Coupe for under 30k

[Robnaldo]

I'm looking at buying a Coupe for under 30k.

This is what I have narrowed it down to so far; but I am open to more if you have some suggestions or criticism.

-2010 Nissan Altima Coupe
-2010 Hyundai Genesis
-2008 Honda Accord Coupe
-2003-2007 Infinity G35
-2006 Acura RSX

At first I had my heart set on the Honda, but I have heard complaint after complaint about the rear brakes on these things, so I'm and reconsidering.

I'm now leaning towards the Altima the most, but I'd have to go with no features to keep it under budget, same goes for Genesis.

I like the idea of the Infinity or Acura, because I could get one fully loaded

Overall I'm looking for reliability first and foremost.

Any help is greatly appreciated, and like I said I'm open to new suggestions and criticism =)

If your heart is set on the Accord, why not get one, and put in aftermarket brakes?

You can get an 06-07 g35 for a hell of a lot less than 30

I'd probably go with a G35 depending on condition.

I like the Accord better than the Altima, and the rear brakes in Canada is now covered under warranty so they replace it for free at dealership.

That sounds very promising, is this in writing anywhere?

And how many times will they cover it?

Basically from what I've heard, the rear brake pads need to be replaced every 15-20k because they wear down so fast.


I understand a lot of these cars can be bought for considerably less then 30k. I don't need to spend that much, I'm just saying that's the most I will spend =P

I've also been looking been considering a Nissan 350Z, it'd probably have to be 2003-2007; but I don't know a whole lot about the car.

I have a letter somewhere stating that it's unlimited free replacement for a number of years. Can't recall right now 100 percent right now. Depending on how you drive it can wear down pretty fast, I think I had mine replaced near 30,000 km.

I think I saw a 2008 Accord coupe on sale on beyond for under 30g-have a look.

Ooh, I've had a new liking lately for 350z, to be honest I don't know much about g35 or 350z, but I do like the look quite a bit.

I dont know about the G35's, two of my buddies are having transmission problems!

Other then the obvious brake issue, how do you like your Accord so far?

Which model do you own?

[jwslam]

Early 00's m3?

[StreetRacerX]

G35 or Genesis

[Integra10]

I would go with the 350z. 287-hp 3.5L DOHC V6 6spd

You can get an 04-05 for less than $25K

[Disoblige]

I considered G35 myself but damn the resale on those are complete crap. I would rather go with a 350Z as mentioned above.

RSX, still a fine looking and driving car. Final year so you know it was done up right. Tons of aftermarket stuff as well, just a great car IMO.

eBay has a few with low milage.

type s sounds loud but feels slow

It really does. Get a G37 from the US or buy a 6 speed G35. In manual, G35's are reliable.

[Aleks]

2011 Ford Mustang V6?

[Sapo]

how about 2006-07 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0T, certified pre-owned?

[shakalaka]

Obviously I am biased towards the Z. If you aren't bothered about it being 2 seater and stuff, then go with it.

You talk all manly with your Cobras and Mustangs and etc and yet you bought a automatic G35?
