G35's are solid cars, I'd go with that.

Get a 2nd hand car. Get one thats 6-12 months old, low miles and you will save yourself a fair bit. Buying 2nd hand is the way to go...

Then the 2 seated is fine. Z's are a little small in the inside. I'm guessing your price range is like 19k or so?

Well, cars like that are great if they are NOT your primary mode of transportation.  I drove a 93' R1 RX7 with a single turbo, front mount intercooler, downpipe, cold air intake, 4" straight through exhaust, fuel rail, pushing 18lbs of boost for several years.  I loved that car, but jesus christ was it a bitch.  Always fixing something with it and working on it.  Unless you have gobs of time to spend on a car like that, then I'd pass for something more reliable.

Well, I work right across the street from where I live, the grocery store has a free bus that runs to it, the bars I drink at take 5 minutes to walk to, and the gym is a 6 minute walk...I dont really even need a car, I'm just tired of not having one...
