Default Help us pick a car

We are gonna buy a new car. It has to be new as our company only facilitates the purchase of new cars. 40k is the maximum we want to spend. It should be able to hold 4 people. But, it doesn't need to have 4 doors, but 4 doors or more are fine.

I would like it to be sporty, track worthy. My partner in crime doesn't care so much about that. He wants it to be fairly large so we can wrap it with our company logos etc.

All suggestions are good suggestions.

The more the merrier!

G37, 135i, 328i coupe or sedan, VW CC, GTI, MB C300 or 350. Bump the budget just a lil and get a 335i.

I was going to say the VW Passat CC until you said track worthy.

Once that is applied to the criteria, I'd have to think about it a little more given the $40k ceiling.

I suppose you could do some minor mods (brake pads, brake fluid, springs, shocks) to get the CC track worthy. It wouldn't be the fastest around the track but one of the better looking sedans.

Big, sporty, and track worthy while holding four people? Mitsubishi Evo X or Subaru STi. Lots of side panel room for stickers and logos, quick off the showroom floor, and decently roomy inside. Also good all-weather cars.

Subaru Legacy GT. More classy adult look, still fairly track worthy with a set of camber plates, seats 4 easily.
