Apparently I need a bigger car

[ercchry]

CT6 for new, Lexus LS for used... Long wheelbase and ultra lux package so kid will always have enough room and the only thing you will feel in your back is the heated jade massage rollers

3. When the kid falls asleep, it will help keep the child in a safe, upright position as opposed to a slumped over position in a backless booster or no booster at all.

We just went to Hawaii and decided to travel light. This was the result.

It's funny cause with almost 200hp less than the x5m rage's gla45 has surprisingly close specs... And with rage behind the wheel rich would get spanked around the road course

I'm not really looking at a kia, thanks for the suggestion though.

^^They both hit 0.96g on the skid pad

Yea aside from stoplight grand prix launches ( the X5's main strength ) I'm fairly certain both of rages cars would put it into the ground...

It does fine, but once rolling a real sports car will embarrass it in a hurry.

What did you not like about the 535? Love that car for it's performance/price/styling, too bad there's no manual though

You could have 300+ HP and 130 lbs/ft of torque, and a Kia Optima Turbo will walk all over it :P Quite seriously, go test drive one. When I drove my old roomy's Optima Turbo (2013 model iirc), I was surprised. Thing freakin GOES. It's no WRX or Evo X or Lamborghini, but it has the power you need for real world, day to day driving

As well, the Optima Turbo makes 274 HP and 270 lbs/ft of torque. They are surprisingly grunty for a Kia. If I could afford one, I would get one

There's nothing I didn't like about the 535 except there isn't much more room than my current car. Simply put I need more room, I want to stay away from an SUV but that GLA45 really got me thinking, albeit 20-30k over my budget lol

Remind me never to get married and have kids lol.

The GLA45 isn't an SUV. It's a hatchback with fender flares that tricks retarded North Americans into believing it isn't an A class. The car is so low, it cannot have tinted windows from the factory.

It's super fun, obnoxious and fast. You'll wipe the floor with it. It destroys X5Ms and doesn't have to have its battery replaced every 9 months. 2016s have more horsepower, adjustable suspension and better gearing.

I drove Shelton's the day he brought it home. Try one. You'll be amazed.

Lexus LS460 regular and long wheel base. Can be had in AWD. It will be a different driving experience from the 335 tho. This is the car size you're after if you think 535i is too tight. Most importantly I wouldn't hesitate buying a 5-6 year old Lexus as opposed to a MB, BMW (as a daily that is).

If I was looking for a luxury barge in your budget with a backseat big enough for a teenager in a booster seat, I'd buy this in a heartbeat

It took me forever to end up with the GLA, most rear legroom in the entire Mercedes lineup in a car that's slightly bigger than a Golf and handles like a car. Love the thing so much I'm probably buying another one when the warranty runs out. Greatest car ever if you have kids and you're a true car enthusiast that cares about throwing the car through twisties.
