Default Second Car for Daily Driving

So commuting nearly 90 miles daily, I think I need a 2nd car as a DD. Has anyone ever owned a SE-R Spec V? Thoughts?

if youre looking for something to have as much fun as the S.. then be prepared to spend a lot of money. I picked up an 07 M coupe in early 08... cant wait for the lease too be over.. it was fun while i didnt have the S.. but now that i have it back.. The M hasnt been driven.

if you want my advice.. get something cheap (fit) or different like a truck. something you wont try to compare the S to...otherwise ur going to be very disappointed unless you can afford a 100k+ car.

sorry i am really bias and i don't know why i m just so anti-nissan...
get a used IS300 or something they are around 10k or less now, good daily, reliable, rwd, comfortable, quiet, cheap to maintain, its a toyota, their life is longer than hondas...
Well, I bought a '02 Nissan Maxima when they upped the HP to 250. I got it in a 6-speed and really liked that.
