Looking for a new car! need advice

[Shlade]

ok so ive got my 07 charger... after realizing dodges suck and are stupidly boring i want something else....

My choices

STI
Audi a4 or a6
BMW :nut: dont know of what kind of specific make...

It must be 5 speed, perferably 4 door car, dont really want a 2 door anymore.. Im looking into buying myself a nice christmas present in january (orthodox Christmas)

somebody have some suggestions? Insights, other suggestions and reccomendations are more than welcome!

Thanks guys

Fox body 5.0 mustang + 30k in mods. Remember to save 5-8k of your mod money to lengthen the frame and install a 4-door mod mod.:dunno:

Pontiac G8 gt.

the STI is a beautiful piece of machinery.
or if your want a drivers car thats going to feel really fun you cant go wrong with a german car. the new 3 series with the m package or even the m3 are amazing, incredibly fun to drive. also the 1 series is great, considering you have a charger though im guessing you wouldnt go that small.

:thumbsdow :thumbsdow for american vehicles

[Shlade]

haha yes... ive got my 96 gt for that haha... Time to get something nicer than my charger... getting too bored with that shit, i just want a car that i can stand having longer than a year

[Shlade]

yeah im not willing to go for something small, wouldnt wanna get past the $30k mark tho, I know id be able to find myself a nice 04-06sti for that price, BMW i could squeeze in there im sure as well as an audi, Im also considering a VW but i cant seem to make up my mind... I think its time to go car shopping this weekend

Get outta here. G8 gt you kidding me?


BMW over the other 2. Clearly more fun. Mitsubishi Lancers are fun too and rather inexpensive (not cheap).

Dodges are ok but Charger is a P.O.S. Why would you even buy it? It is such a useless car. Neither it has style nor substance. Sell that sucker and get a Lancer over a BMW.

[vengie]

Jeep SRT8 would be my choice...

[VQ35V6]

BMW's are a nice ride

[nightfx]

Price range?

335i or S4

Well, they aren't technically American. They're Holden Menaro's, aka one of Top Gear's favorite slidy drift cars with lots of power.

I personally would go with the STI. Loads of power, great to drive, comfy, and they work year round here (which is important in 5 foot deep snow drifts XD)

Another thought is a VW Jetta TDI. Reliable as a wood burning stove (the diesels are, at least), 4 door, comfy, amazingly good handling.... :dunno:

[Shlade]

i was higly considering the tdi! very nice cars! I might go check out a few sti's at the subaru dealership this saturday! Ill let you all know how it goes for me!

[bigbadboss101]

Check WesternSubaruClub

There is a 07 STI, and some WRX for sale.

[gqmw]

Tdi is a nice car, as are audis and bmws, however if you're getting bored of cars...maybe sti would be a fun little car for you. If you're into a 4 door..."More luxurious" vehicle for sure look into a 335, A4, S4?

[nonlinear]

Hyundai Genesis sedan.

:bigpimp:

[ArjayAquino]

+1 For the STi. You will have loads of fun in the winter. If you can find an A4 in your price range that has AWD, that will also be good.

Depends if you want luxury or performance for that price range. Personally I'd go for STi, but i am biased hehe.

[max_boost]

Subaru for practicality, fun factor and lower maintenance costs.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

E39 M5.

[SRT10Killer]

there is a good 04 sti for 18.5k and I saw another one for similar price on kijiji

[npham]

Whats your budget? I personally like the Evo styling compared to the current STI styling, but Subbie might less expensive to maintain.

But I just saw a brand new A5 and they are "teh hotness." Too bad you need to step up to the S5 Coupe before it could put a smile on your face when you give it some gas.

I'm sure you mean manual transmission but don't exclude 6-speeds.

[GTO]

STI fun car in winter and lots of after market support for it

[Shlade]

Too bad. It would have been the ideal time to see how a car handles the cold weather.

[pinoyhero]

335i us your winner, looks are great, perf is intense and interior is great.

[C4S]

First step ..

Find someone to buy your charger first .. or your lease is up soon??

[A2VR6]

Try driving a Evo X GSR with the 5 speed... I thought it was funner than any Subaru i've been in and my dad's 335i.

[Sorath]

take my advice do not buy an sti, sure its fast, but other than that theres nothing to it. if i were you i`d buy a 335i or if you want something awd. looking into an evo X, personally i love the mr but if you have to have a manual the gsr is good too

[Guglianoh]

SUBIE FTW!!!!!!! haha if you end up getting a subaru check out WSC (western subaru club) theres lots of knowledgable people there and fun events. good luck with the search
