Hi guys, i think I'm going to trade my 06 330 in for something newer. I haven't had any problems yet, but the warranty is expired. I'm basically looking for something that meets the following specifications:

1. Japanese
2. 4- doors
3. Sporty- I love the feel of the 330 w/ sport pkg. Stiff suspension w/ no rolling on corners.
4. $30-35,000 price range.


Right now, I'm thinking Acura TSX.


thanks!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by newer. Newer as in 07 or 08 or brand new? I would say the EVO-X gets my vote. Go check it out in person...it's an amazing car.

You can get an used german car 07 or 08 (335i) and still have warranty of you're worried about that.

IS350, G35.

I don't think the TSX will match the RWD dynamics and drive feel you're looking for.

330 -> TSX = Step down

stick with the 330. I have one and its a dead reliable car and you don't have to worry about payments for a while if you had it for long. I have driven a lot of the cars and the 330 felt the best to me

Yep, right here.

Get the factory rear rollbar upgrade and you'll get the body roll in check.

Perhaps I'm just getting old, but the IS350 is about as hardcore as I can deal with on a daily basis anymore. I guess I might miss a manual transmission a bit, but since no one can make them hold up anymore (cough, Getrag cough,) I'll take the slushbox. Between the various modes and the paddles, it gives me the experience I desire.

I'm not a huge fan of buying into a luxury brand and I'd prefer the anonymity of a straight up Toyota or Honda, but the power, driving feel, and livability of the chassis are amazing.

Truly a great (and unsung) little car!
