Have you checked out the GTO? Awesome car. Dealers are giving away the 04's because the 05's are gonna have 400hp LS2's. I'll be talking to a dealer on Monday about one. They can be had for around 26-27k. Tons of room.

the gto's a nice car but i also recommend an rsx type s, mini cooper s, a GTI, only because she would probably want something that appeals to her age group and sex.

Few ideas :
1. GTO. Not a great deal at $35K (what they were going for 4-5 months ago). MUCH better deal at $26K (what you can get one for right now). Let's just say the LS1/LS6 motors are VERY upgradable.....350 HP stock (and more importantly, LOTS of torque), but should be doable down the road to get 450 HP/400+ TQ and still pass CA smog if you want
. Only downside is it is a 2 door, but it is quite roomy inside.
2. Legacy GT. Classy car, deceptively fast.
3. WRX and leave the stock exhaust and suspension on it (thus, quiet and not "low").......and about $7-8K (out of that $30K) in the bank.
4. Loaded out Honda Accord V6. For under $30K, you should be able to get dang near EVERY option on it. Not as fun to drive as the above options, but Honda reliability is usually pretty good.
