Advice for a Co-Worker's car purchase. All wheel drive vehicle. $35,000 budget

A co-worker asked me for advice on what cars to test drive. He wants to buy an all wheel drive sedan or coupe. No SUV. Budget: $35,000. -needs the all wheel drive because he will use the vehicle in winter drives for snowboarding in the local mountains.

Recommended cars: A new Subaru WRX/WRX with Sport package
MSRP: $32495 (WRX with Sport pkg)

A used Infiniti G37x

Guys, what cars do you recommend?

He showed me this Autotrader ad for a 2015 BMW 2 Series coupe.
He said that he would bring his buddy, a mechanic, to inspect this used car.

FYI, this 2 Series is a rebuilt car. The seller confirmed the car's rebuilt condition to my co-worker.

I told him to stay the hell away from that Beemer.

-also told him that it's not always a good idea to bring a buddy who is mechanic to inspect a vehicle. Why? A buddy doesn't want to let you down.

His mechanic buddy may also be the first guy to get paid if there's any problems with a used car.
