Looking for suggestions. I want to replace my GLK and 370z combo this summer with one year round car... my budget is low 20s but might go as high as high 20s for the right vehicle.
Just started my search but the 2013ish 335xi's have caught my eye. They look great and they are fast, M3 fast. I'd really miss driving a manual but I think it would be smart to get 8 speed auto as I'd be taking it camping and my wife would drive it in these road trips too.
I don't much about BMWs but is this a good car? Have they had any problems with it? I've read to stay away from the 328s of the same year and briefly read about problems with the auto tranny which might make me lean more towards a manual.
Any other suggestions? Not too into the look of the Audi S4s. I like Infiniti Q50s but slower and a little too big for my tastes. Anything else? How's the Mercedes C300? C400 if I can find a higher km one?
I absolutely hate the look of the Acura TLs and anything Honda. No Subarus either.
Basically I want awd, fast, and reliable and under 30.
