I'd have a Z4MC for fun and a Maserati Quattroporte as a daily - with a petrol/bork-fund hopefully!

As a new car, there's probably not much you can get for 50k that would be more fun than a civic... but... second hand... a whole world of ridiculous fun out there. Z4 35is or Z4M plus low mileage S4 Avant? That's one hell of a 2 car garage for all the family.

V8 Quattroporte is a seriously tempting alternative to my Focus. That this is a ticket price comparison is in itself crazy.
