Dr. Pomade Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 ...what car I should buy next. I have a 2005 Mercedes C230 as a daily driver. I'll be brief and say I've been less than thrilled with it. I'm thinking of getting a car in the same "class," but I'm not wedded to anything in particular. Here's some things to consider: - I'll need it as a daily driver. Bonus points given to AWD cars. - It can be a sedan (i.e., have four doors). Bonus points given to coupes (i.e., two doors). - I'd like to have this car for four to six years. I'll put in the area of 20K miles on it per year. Bonus points given to cars with higher reliability. - Don't worry about the price range. That being said, I'm not thinking about buying a Veyron as my daily driver. Okay, go.

Not Brian Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 A guy at work has an S5; it's the sickest fucking DD I could ever see myself having sex with a model in the back seat in. http://www.senner-tuning.de/referenz_img/DSC00163_2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmZ06 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hey John, have you looked at an E63? I've had one for a couple years and have really liked it. Kind of the best of both worlds, good speed but luxury at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) Audi S5. http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2010/09/s5grn-527x350.jpg Do this in a custom paint color. For something like $1.xk you can get any color currently in their catalog, and $2.xk you can get ANY color you want. A chance to do something really unique. You don't have to do something as unique as this, but why do a stock paint color when you can do anything you want. Infinity G37x Coupe (AWD) is another one. My brother-in-law has a Sedan and it's a very nice car. No real competition for the S5, but it shouldn't be since it's $13k less. Much closer in price to the A5, but the G37 has 120 more HP, which in turn only has 25hp less than the S5. Probably worth a drive. 911s come in AWD. CTS coupes also come in AWD.

Mr. Jones Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Points to ponder on the S5, as I'm not sure when you plan to purchase, or if you'd go new/ used/ cpo. All S5 Coupe's (to date) have the 4.2 FSI V8 and either a 6 Speed Man Or 6 Speed Auto. S5 Cabrio's as of 2011 (I think) get the new 3.0T (supercharged V6) and the option of the 7 speed DSG (S-Tronic). The general though is that starting with 2012 MY all S5's will have the 3.0T. The 3.0T will beat the 4.2 V8 in just about everything (stock) except sound. With mods, it's embarrassing for the V8. That being said, theres no replacement for the intoxicating sound of the 4.2 at WOT whilst cruising in your sexy coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 S5 is fucking hot...BUUUUTTT I would go with an S4 because it has the 3.0T (supercharged v6). Same car, but has 2 more doors. Exhaust and chip = 360awhp. My next car will either be a B7 RS4 or B8 S4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS4 for looks S4 for everything else That would be a horrible choice to make, I would have to read up on the reliability of the 420hp 4.2. If it was good, I would go RS4. Love them. Not a big fan of the B8 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
