I crashed an S60 last year and i have nothing but good things to say about them. Never put a step wrong when we had it and the interior was fabulously comfortable.

my dad is 48 and spends most of his commute on the phone. dont think an evo would be very conducive to that.

keep in mind he has an e39 m5. and the e39 is like a tank so he likes that solid feel.

heres what i came up with:

gti[new]
r32[used]
acura mdx [used]
acura tl [used]
acura tsx [used]
lexus rx [used]
infiniti g35 sedan [used]
infiniti fx [used]
volvo s60 r [used[

and what i want him to get: a volvo v70 r manual [its fun to drive and we dont lose all of the utility of the truck]

Buy it.
It's damn quick. (I've driven it)
Nicely not-over-the-top modded.
