1bad95gt Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 My G8 has been dead reliable, I have had it since March and have put 22k on it, and they have been very hard miles. With bolt ons and spray it makes 470/600 and dead hooks on the street. A few people on the board can attest to how hard I have drove this car and how well it does on the street. I don't think I will ever regret my purchase of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Aquinas Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I had an 09 G8 Gt and I absolutely loved it. Rode fantastic on the freeway. Plenty of room in the back seat for passengers. My bro and I are both 6 ft + and sat fine in the back. You can run 87 in it and get decent mileage. The only issue we had with it were the ball joints. But if you get the newly designed ones you'll be ok. Still mad I had to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Does it have to be one of those two mentioned? What's the budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Does it have to be one of those two mentioned? What's the budget? Budget would be around 25k and 4 door w/ some power im ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Throughout this whole conversation I couldn't help but think E55. You can get '04-05's with reasonable mileage (60k) for $22-25. Anyhow, they're comfy, have a million gadgets, 480hp, 500tq, auto and really very mechanically reliable platform. Maybe something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 dunno...it's a benz so parts are "expensive" I guess when you need them but we've really not had any big issues with ours ever, always little nagging things go wrong. I do all of my own maintenance work so I really don't worry about labor rates. We've owned ours 3.5 years and in that time I've replaced one of the air shocks (re-manned units are $400), Drivers door handle because the keyless entry sensor went out ($130), heat exchanger pump ($140), and valve in the A/C system that was stuck ($45). Wife daily drives it and loves it. Ran 12.6 at the trails rental earlier this year with the A/C on and on snow tires They aren't the most involving cars to drive...that's my main problem with it. I'm guessing the CTS and G8 aren't either though. I'm all about driving experience so I'm a little picky in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Glad I'm not the only one who has had this soul searching moment. Once spring comes around and a 4 door more "adult" sedan becomes something I am truly going to consider these are 2 of my demons I must confront...personally I know if I get a G8 there's no way I won't have it under the knife within months. Plus it would look sexy in the garage next to the LeMans The CTS-V might survive such a fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 cts-v, e55 or 300c srt would be my top choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 e55 or 300c srt would be my top choices. +1. If you need to puss out and get an auto, at least go premium. I've always loved Mercedes-Benz but can't stand DD'ing an automatic. The E55 is definitely my first choice for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
