Do not buy the 350Z if you anticipate ever needing to carry anything remotely large. I was picked up from a LAN party once in a 350Z (the person at the time worked for a Nissan dealer) and I tell you, trying to fit a standard tower PC case, a 17" CRT, speakers, mouse, keyboard, all the cables, my collection of CDs plus 2 people inside a 350Z is not very much fun.

There are many model cars of all makes, including the Volvo C30, that are simply not sold in the US. Going to a dealer won't get you one. The only thing that will get you one is going through the expensive and timely process of importing it yourself, and it's such a pain in the ass that literally nobody does it except rich fuckers importing Bugatti's and such.

I can import Scions from Toyota dealers (they're not sold here), I'm sure you could import a C30 from Canada without paying that much.
FUCK

Okay, this is the last time I'm going to say this.
I AM ON A BUDGET, STOP RECOMMENDING I IMPORT A CAR FFS!
I knew a guy who imported a Nissan Skyline, when it was all said and done it cost him an extra $10,000. FUCK THAT. If I had the money to blow to import a car, I sure wouldn't import a hatchback.
EDIT: Why has this thread turned into a Volvo C30 commercial?

I hate to put it this way but it sounds like euopeans are just as high up there about their volvo's as americans/canadians and civics...
So let me throw down my input. BTW, do you have 30k or is that your max budget with financing, etc through a dealership?
If you have the money then I would suggest go oldschool:
1970 Dodge Challenger
If you aren't into the old cars(my favourite) then there are some fairly decent cars that are new and under 30k
2006 Cobalt SS - Quick little things. Actually have power. Not just a ricer.
Other then that there are the newer cars that will be coming out soon. I wouldn't recommend a mustang. The new ones are EVERYWHERE and if you ask me they aren't even that great. Every kid and their mom has a new mustang it seems.
BTW, what kind of vehicle are you looking for... 4x4's are fun and quite a few get good mileage. Are you looking for a new dealership car or a older car? I can't remember if you had specified this already and it isn't a short topic

Get a new Ford Edge.. it's a roomy, efficient cross-over vehicle with 265hp and looks like a piece of shit 
Seriously though, if you weren't on a budget, the VW Touareg would be my choice.. it's a slightly dumbed down Porsche Cayenne... How can you not love a V10 Turbo Diesel?
Personally, I don't like cars.. and my 7,400 lb GVW truck beats just about every car off the line that revs its engine at a stop light.. (minus those 100,000 dollar exotics, but you don't see many of those around NW Montana). With a few after-market parts, my 3/4 ton Duramax runs just under 500 HP with appx 875 ft/lb of torque... and did I mention that it can pull a 5th wheel?
Fuck gas economy..... actually, it does rather well.. 16 mpg average with over 20 on long haul trips. As for moving your friends couch? try looking for the newer model duramax trucks that come with an optional spine
