Car Buying Advice-Which new car?

I'm fresh out of college and working and am in the market for a new car. I am an enthusiast, so im looking for a car that has some power behind it. I'm also going to have my girlfriend and other friends with me at times, whether it be a weekend getaway or a week-long trip, so I need either 4 doors or a modest back seat of its a coupe. Lastly, we have a lot of back roads where I live. I want a car that will handle those and put a smile on my face. I have thought about Nissan Maxima's, Buick regal gs's, or the new fusion sport's. I don't have an unlimited budget, but 30k is where I'd like to land, and certified used is an option too. Thanks for the help!

I'm biased towards hot hatches, but so should you based on your expressed needs (space, trips, and so forth).
VW GTI - There are 3 or 4 trim lines, all should be obtainable below, at, or just over your price point (depending on how many bells & whistles you need). Local VW dealers keep advertising $5K off sticker around me for GTI's.
