Default What car would you get if you need back seats?

I was planning on picking up a new S2000, but I found out that my wife and I have a baby on the way. So, now I need to find something with a back seat. My question is if you are the type of person that likes a S2000, what car with back seats would you get? I'm only looking at new cars and I would prefer to keep it under $30,000. Thanks guys

First thing that comes to mind is gt-r.. But thats out of your price range. Then maybe a g35 but you may want more than back seats. You might want 4 doors. You could go with an evo or sti. I think those are a little out of the price range as well though. Unless you go with a used one.

I assume you want a car thts family friendly yet still sporty and safe. I would go with a g35 coupe or sedan. luxurious, sporty, safe, and decently roomy. I would not want an evo or sti with a family. great cars but just seems weird considering most people that drive them here are under 20 years old. or go with a lexus is250. Just test drive a bunch, your butt fun meter doesn't lie!

The Cadillac cts dosent seem to be to bad either if your up for an American car. Pontiac g8 seems nice to. It just depends on what your looking for really. Some of these sport coups with back seats dont really have a back seat a real person can fit in. I dont know how a car seat would do in them either. Personaly if i was getting a car my child would be riding in all the time i would look at the safety scores and any data you can find about child safety in these cars.

If you want a tiny sporty car that has back seats you could even look at the rsx-s or celica gt-s those cars aren't being produced any more though so you wouldn't be able to buy new. They also lack power unless you mod them.

A TT supra has 4 seats

Most of those cars listed will run over $30k. My recommendation to keep things easily accessible i.e. getting to a child would be a WRX or Mini cooper clubman S. Both are under $30k and both have a ton of performance mods and are a fun reliable daily driver.

The new WRX is looking pretty sweet. It's been tested faster to 60 than the STi.

Saab turbo X is freaking amazing.. tho its like 43k. However, you can get a used M3 for under 30k that the baby would love to get a ride in.
