New Car Opinions
 
Not sure if i'm getting rid of the mustang, I might just because i'll have no where to put it.


Anyway. My considerations are a Lexus IS250, or IS350, An Infiniti G37S, FX45, Audi A4, or A5 or something else that i have not thought of yet.

Any suggestions?

Steeda97 08-10-2010 08:02 AM

Also, it does not have to be fast. I could care less.

Lazerred6 08-10-2010 08:05 AM

If you are looking at A4s I would suggesting looking at S4s instead they always look better and they are more exclusive and badass

zigzagg321 08-10-2010 08:21 AM

Get the Lexus. Cant go wrong with a Toyota.

mustangV6_04 08-10-2010 08:37 AM

S4 is a sure shot. They are big and baller. Or is250.

for their cars before 03 I would agree with you but their newer stuff is way more reliable

Steeda97 08-10-2010 08:58 AM

I definitely love the Audi's, but the lexus may be more up my alley. I have owned one before, and I know my way around them. Ugh this is difficult. I'm going out today to check a few out.

probiker427 08-10-2010 09:19 AM

i love the way the IS350 looks.

I agree when it comes to the A4 and A6 but the S4 and S6 give performance that vw can't do

edit: the all wheel drive is a plus too

and if you are looking for performance bang for the buck you have lots of better options be the S's give good luxury performance

Edit #2 They can look very bland but they usually take care of that with the S models and I think that what there are doing with the brand new stuff looks good across the line (except the A8 looks kinda gay)

mantiance sucks ass if you buy german

From the size of car you're looking at you should look at a Cobalt SS. I've been very impressed with mine. Handles like a rear wheel drive bimmer, plenty of power, good mileage, plenty of interior room, great stereo, bad ass brakes, nice wheels and tires off the bat, racing seats, autometer gauges from the factory... it's a really bitchin car. I tend to hate chebbies but I really liked this one enough to buy it.

You can make 320hp to the tires with just a tune and a set of pipes too. I haven't modded mine yet at all.

It might be a bit of a PITA to find a new one but a used one should be easy enough. The Sedan SS like I have is a 4 door and only weighs 80lbs more than the coupe and handles better.

the stock engine is: 2.0L, twin scroll turbo, sodium filled exhaust valves, piston oil squirters, forged rods, twin cam, direct injection. It's a beast in a very unassuming package.

Those A5s are sexy..

It is pretty sweet, but i'm not looking for a fast car. I'm looking for a professional one. Its already annoying to show up to business meetings in a frigging loud ass mustang, it'd be another to show up in a chevy. :p

stanger00 08-10-2010 01:12 PM

I wouldnt mind getting a 2010 SHO :D

r3dn3ck 08-10-2010 02:09 PM

Showing up in a loud ass mustang is every american's gawd given right! Express it.

Or in the words of our forefathers: If you got it, flaunt it.

How much are you looking to spend and new or used? If it's not a 09+ A4, then I'd go with the IS350 over it.

Thirded!


me personally, if i want professional, i would go Taurus SHO. either that or a slightly older 7 series BMW that's more affordable than new ones. my neighbor has one, very nice car.

NewMustangMan 08-11-2010 10:00 AM

I like the Taurus SHO idea. I say either that or the Lexus. R3d has a point though!!!!!!

Steeda97 08-13-2010 06:19 AM

Sorry I haven't answered. I've been pretty busy.


The Taurus SHO is pretty sweet, but I would absolutely never buy one. Its a frigging taurus.

I'm torn between so many different things. Whether to buy new or used, or certified, and actually what car to buy. I'm so indecisive when it comes to buying cars. It took me like 7 months to buy my mustang. ha.

Here are my ideas:

I know nothing about porsches. Anyone have any experiences with them?

I do not know this from experience but I know a guy with a newer 911 turbo and he says that the mantainance costs per year are terrible.

But then again he complains anytime he has to spend money even though he is friggin loaded cause he's a surgeon

Edit he is a cool enough guy though

I don't think you could go wrong with a Fusion sport or a Taurus SHO. Personally I would love to have a Taurus, they are absolfrigginlutely sweet inside and out. I've heard some rumblings about Ford doing a Fusion SHO AWD ecoboost, but haven't seen anything yet.

Deathdiesel 08-13-2010 10:12 AM

Id say the audi or the crossover below it. Looks great.

Steeda97 08-13-2010 11:01 AM

I love the white FJ Cruiser. lol.

I hate saying this....but me too.

Leonide 08-13-2010 11:34 AM

FJ's are ugly. i would either go with the Lexus sedan or the Audi.

99MustangGT 08-13-2010 01:34 PM

I like the Lexus and Audi best.

probiker427 08-13-2010 03:49 PM

i actually like the white FJ cruiser..

A few months back I was in your shoes. My daughter was getting ready to be born and I needed to sell one of my toys. I sold the mustang and was looking for a family car (sedan). I had just about the same choices as you. The top contenders were the G37s, A4, Is250 and Is350. I test drove all of them and right of the bat I didn't like the Is350. Why? Primary reason, the car had to be manual and the 350 doesn't come with that option. Thats my rule. I dont like automatic cars one bit. Is250 came in third due to back row sitting to crammed, lack of power, and horrible gas milaege for power wise. Second place went to the A4. Its a fun little car to drive. Handles great especially with the awd and has a great mpg rating. And finally first place went to the G. Car is a blast to drive, looks good and has plenty of power with a decent mpg rating. In the end the reason I chose the G over the A4 was due to the horsepower rating. I dont regret my choice. But I've been thinking about trading it in for a S4 becuase it a sick looking car, but the wife stops me lol. Cant be spending to much money now with the baby and all. I say you test them out and see which one you really like and thats within your budget.

P.s. These were all 2010 models

3.8for the win 08-13-2010 06:54 PM

CTS/CTS-V.

08mustang_gt 08-13-2010 08:49 PM

rebelyell 08-13-2010 11:31 PM

I say... Buy a new Mustang. You aint gotta be all loud and shit. And you'll turn heads with the 011 GT. Plus you can make it loud when you want to with your right foot. Or quiet with same foot.. Plus your maintenance costs will be lowered.. Or any of the big 3, or is it 2 now... Keep it American baby.. ;)

Steeda97 08-14-2010 06:50 AM

I'm ready to move on from the whole mustang thing. They don't excite me anymore. The only thing that excites me when i see them on the road are exotics now. I'm trying to make my way up to be able to get one. For now, i just need a nice, luxury car for the time being.

Did anyone see this? Its a Ferrari 458 Italia. Its a Ferrari with a hint of Lamborghini. lol.

If anyone lacks motivation or ambition, just look at this frigging car.
