Help me buy a car this week.

Ok the time has come to pull the trigger. I have narrowed it down to these for cars.

 

2004 audi allroad 2.7t

2007 bmw 530xi Wagon

Nissan armada/qx56

Honda Ridgeline

 

I need a practical daily driver with the option to put two child seats in the rear and my boxer.

 

I have done pro's and con's on all of them but welcome second opinions and experience if you have owned one before.

 

As far as mods go none of them will see more then suspension, tint and wheels.

I'll say this today because I was talking to a couple of car guys that own them. Something about the Ridgeline makes their owners fall in love with them. Every time I meet someone who has one they tell me they plan on driving it to 300K+ miles.

The ridgeline is the wild card. Never would have thought about one but guy lives next to me has one. He loves it and the looks have grown on me. I also like the trunk in the bed to throw a stroller or golf clubs.

I was looking at the Ridgeline but then I found out it was essentially a Honda Odyssey chassis. That being said my buddy also loves his & only recently sold it for something more fuel efficient.

 

What're your requirements? Price, color, millage, year, must have equipment/models? How far are you willing to travel?

Fuck owning a Nissan product. Armada's are just tanks and gas hogs. For how big they are te interior lacks in room. A bunch are having navigation unit issues now and the replacement parts if you can find them new are $1,000-$1,200. None left in the states, this also affects the radio in some cases. Not to mention they all rust terribly underneath and the rear wheel wells rust easily as well. That said the drivetrain is solid at least....

 

I'd go for the Honda. German products LOL

I just made the same purchasing question, eer well minus the two kid part. Needed more room for work luggage and dog while traveling out of state every week for work.

 

But I just purchased a 2001 audi a6 avant/wagon over a suv/grandcherokee.

I like the wagon and it'll handle a ton better than an suv. Plus I felt at least at my price point I got more vehicle for the $$ going with a wagon than an suv.

I really like the allroad but the nightmare of owning one is kinda scary since it will be my daily.
