DAMMIT DWAYNE, I TOLD YOU THE X3 WAS THE LEAST FUGLY BUT THE LAST THING WE NEED AFTER YOU MORTGAGED THE HOUSE TO FINANCE YOUR ARSENAL IS TO GET INTO MORE DEBT.

I'M TIRED OF ALWAYS HAVING TO COOK SPAM SO YOU CAN PRETEND SWAT TEAM, HOW ABOUT YOU GO SHOOT US A DEER LIKE YOUR COUSIN RICKY SUGGESTED?

[AmIdYfReAk]

A5, kthx.

/thread

[plained]

u come off as too crude for those vehicles

[Nightshade]

The fact that you'd buy another Hummer...

[YourGrandpa]

A5.


But are you really going to buy one of the cars in this thread?

Yes. Most likely in the next couple of weeks.

The majority here seem to like the least likely candidate, Audi A5. I think it's a sharp looking car, but the "coupe" style isn't very practical when it comes to a family vehicle.

[+JuggerNaut+]

you included it.

[Doombrain]

Don't know about the US but Audi servicing in the UK is fucking awful and I had wiring loom issues on mine.

Merk I wouldn't touch with yours, just check the internets for horror stories.

X3, fucking lol.

Take a 330d or 335d for a test drive and see what you think. The 328i is under powered.

After the tax credit and factoring in fuel savings you could get:

I'm going to try to make it my next ride after the Z. I'd say theres about one or two car loans left worth of reasonable gas prices so why not get a head start on it before you're stuck with a used car worth even less than the fuckall they go for now.

[YourGrandpa]

We haven't driven any of the vehicles listed above. Our selections are based soley on internet reviews, looks and pricing.

[Doombrain]

so when do you plan to start test driving?

[YourGrandpa]

Prolly this weekend.

[Doombrain]

you just thought you'd better ask q3w first eh?

a 335d costs almost $11k more than a 328i in the US.

[Doombrain]

oh, do you have to buy the car in order to take a test drive?

[ToxicBug]

u can test drive them all u want, it's not gonna make u afford a $44k car when all u can spend is $33k.

[Doombrain]

but it is going to give you a better overall opinion of a car you're about to spend 40k on.

jesus, you're a moron.

[ToxicBug]

why not drive an m3 too then?

Figures that gwamps is the kind of idiot who wouldn't buy a car made in the country that he lives in.

You know, the country that's having problems with their economy and needs to sell things to recover.

That, to be honest, is the most bloody stupid reason to choose one car over the other.

Fuck no it isn't.

I'm simply looking for others to provide educated information regarding the choices provided. I'm also open to consider similar vehicles that could possibly have a better track record than the vehicles I posted. Though I don't expect that this topic is going to be completely productive. I can say that we do plan on test driving a few, if not all before making a decision.

They're all pretty solid from what I've read (about the bottom three), can't really go wrong.

If you morons are going to troll him do it in the gun thread...he actually posted up some decent cars and you're just trolling for fucks and shits.

you dont udnerstand. this has been done before.

Well, your list is sort of all over the place. So with no other criteria than price, I have to go with the A5.
It's the best looking, handles well, quattro rocks balls (but it's probably not an issue in FL), and that interior is fantastic.

The others?
X3 - Ugly as sin, as from what I've heard it's a complete joke.
GLK - eh... I don't really have an opinion. I don't care for SUVs and Merc has some pretty poor reliability issues lately.
Q5 - Looks decent, but a bit overpriced, iirc. $5-6k more than an A4 Avant and all you really get is a bit more headroom.
A5 - see above
C350 - Never been in nor driven one. Probably a very good car. I think it's ugly. Your results may vary.
328 - A close second to the A5. BMWs are generally overpriced compared to Audis, but still good cars. I'd seriously suggest test driving this and the A5 and then decide whether you still like those SUVs/crossovers.


But really, asking for car advice is going to require a bit more info about what sort of vehicle you want. Buy based on the best choice for you.
Do you want a crossover w/ towing capacity? A wagon with good handling? A coupe that looks nice? There are plenty of other cars out there. Don't just pick based on looks.
