I wanted a car that was below 30k and had some balls while still being comfortable. So I bought the ms3. Not as comfortable as the GTI, but more balls and 5k less keeping me well below my limit. Well it looks like I might get deployed (again) and someone pointed our the hyundai genesis coming out. It looks like it could be a comfortable, fast car.
So heres my thoughts. If I DO end up being deployed again, I'll have much more money and will be looking at a car worth just under 40k. So I could trade in the ms3 and look at a new hyundai genesis, or maybe a slightly used lexus is 350 or something in that class (entry sport luxury) or put about 10k into my ms3. Maybe put in Bluetooth stereo or a stereo/DVD/gps type thing, and just crank up the power. Don't know if I'd ever USE the hp and handling it has to offer, but I could make it into a bit of a showcar and daily driver.
Just thinking aloud and wondering other peoples opinions. Cause I feel as though most people here were looking for a bargain sporty car but maybe might gone a different route if they had more expendable income. Not to mention it'd be in storage for a good 15 months. Meaning out in a big lot with fuel stabilizer and exposed to outdoor weather with not car washes(although part of 10k would be a custom paint job).
