How is the coupe with a tiny trunk as practical as the hatchback?

Here's something to factor in too. I called up Allstate today to get some quotes on my insurance, an R32 was nearly double what a 350Z was, and 50% more than a G35. I can only imagine that would extend to the GTI as well, as the R32 isn't that much faster and is also significantly slower than the Z/G.

Have you looked into the 370Z? It'll be faster, with a better interior, and you get flappy paddles with the (faster than manual) 7 speed automatic. The G37 is also very nice, as is the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. They could all be bought new or like new in your price range too.
