Default Replacing the S on a budget, possible?

Hey Guys the time has come (early next year) where i might be replacing my S with something with a bit more space, but it has been a great debate on on what to get.... The S is such a GREAT car...

Budget - $30K or less
New or used acceptable (used no more than 3 years old)
2 or 4 doors OK
same power or more
No SUVS, TRUCKS Minivans ECT.


what do you guys think can be a good bang for the buck in my situation

Thanks for the Ideas and help in advance

TL type S. Love that car. Not really sporty but an awesome car.
That to me is a really awesome daily driver. I personally would still want something else on the side if I had that car though.
You looking for more luxury? Or still sporty fun but just back seats?

Do you want luxury or just more space?

If luxury then I'd opt for a g35
If it's just space issues something like an evo will even work.

do what i did, i kept my s and bought an unmolested 02 wrx for 11k, fits my needs and well within the budget and both reliable. if you want newer just find a newer car in the range, maybe legacy, or used accord

Maybe a little of both?
definitely not all luxury or "family sedans"

leaning more towards Sport cars with more room.. helps?

thanks for all the help

I would definitely go with an Evo IX then. Got more room. Lots of power, great handling, awesome in the winter since its AWD. Very fun car!!
Not a huge fan of the Evo X but I'm sure they are nice also.
