Luxury or speed for a DD?

[Kardon]

Aristo would be one of japans best for speed+comfort

[max_boost]

S4 for sure.

I test drove a 2010 S4 and it was amazing.

^^You're pretty easy to please then!

If I had to choose, it would be luxury.

Speed. I'd rock an Ariel Atom or Lotus 2-Eleven everyday if I didn't live in a climate such as Calgary...

Just stay the fuck away from 2.7tt with tiptronic... major problems, expensive fixes. (just ask any Allroad owner )

Get an AWD, high-end Subaru.

Slightly luxurious with good acceleration and handling for all weather conditions (provided you have the right tires).

Subarus have AWD. You don't need any special tires...

[Redlyne_mr2]

Most Luxury cars have some power to them

[adamc]

M5 is the ultimate DD, fast and supple

[ekguy]

Both!!!

[Shlade]

If I could afford it I would get both. And that both would be a SRT8 Jeep or charger

[terryengine]

luxury

[n1zm0]

an all-year DD in Calgary, awd luxury would be ideal imo, as said it would probably have some power to it already most likely.

[Neil4Speed]

Luxury, but it is reasonable to have both.

[shin0bi]

I think luxury and speed are entirely subjective. Fast to me is probably a joke to Rage_2.

You looking to set some land-speed records, or just be able to merge onto deerfoot quickly and safely? Like others have mentioned, acceleration is more important that top speed... at least for city driving. So find something torquey.

Are you looking to be able to have your ass massaged on the way to work in your alcantara seats, or just have something that will get you where you're going in a comfortable manner?

Is budget a factor? What about drivetrain? 4 doors?

Check out a Mazdaspeed 6 if you wanted decent acceleration and appointments at a good price.

Is an M3 really that good for DD'ing in winter though?
and for luxury I mean mostly 4 door cars with some options in the back seats as well.



True good alternative, your URS4 looks like a perfect mix, but how is maintanence on those older high end cars? Do they break down often?

Been DDing my M3 this winter - blown away by how well it's handled, even sold my civic because of it.

[vengie]

Both, DD my b7 s4.

Another year or two I'll look into a new s4 or s5

[zipdoa]

About as nice as an interior will get for under $5k:

M3 has 4 door options and there is nothing wrong with a M3 in the winter with good winter tires. I never had a problem getting around every day with the m3 and with a stock exhuast they are quite...

The BMW's are an absolute tank with winter tires. So good I told people it was dummy proof. They were non believers until they drove it. You couldn't spin out haha

Don't know about the newer ones but the E46 were so damn good.
