Help with a Daily Driver
I think my time with my S2000 has come to an end. I commute 45miles each way for work and I just don't enjoy the s2000 as much as I use to. I'm looking for a used car around 25k ish. Manual is preferred but not required, no front wheel drive, something thats more comfortable but still somewhat sporty and semi-luxurious yet reliable. Good gas mileage would be nice but not a top priority as long as its not horrid.
My choices are:
06-07 IS350
06-07 G35 Coupe 6mt
Any other ideas or what should I look for (or look out for) in these two choices? Thanks.

06-07 Z4M (although concerned with reliability and maintenance costs)

Your other choices don't thrill me either. The IS is another 4 door bore and the G35 which I like the looks of but it is just not exciting to drive!
You should not limit yourself
to rwd and try a Mk5 or Mk6 GTI . Way more fun than the Gen coupe and G35!

To assist the OP... I love the IS350! Unlike the 335i and the C350, the IS350 is a great deal harder to find. Great engine and great transmission! I hear in stock form the car was good for a 5.1 to 60!

I commute 37 miles each way on a daily basis, and I have had my 2006 A4 quattro for over three years now. No complaints so far, you just can't beat the build quality of German cars, especially the Audi interior. I know it all comes down to personal preferences, but I like the simple but classic design and functionality of it.
