AngryBMW Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yeep Grand Cherokee with EcoDiesel. My boss just bought one...and it is freaking awesome. Not getting the MPGs that were advertised but is WAAAAAAAAY better than the MPGs of the Hemi counterpart with similar power. Can you find one used yet? I'm a huge sucker for the CTSv or the M5...I will own both sometime soon...as my DD. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 The new Mazda 6, with aftermarket wheels and lowered, is the best looking non-luxury mid-size sedan out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Slow'ish (231hp), but decent mpg's and other frugalities. My manliness would reach up and punch me in the face for not considering a SHO in that price range though. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=387062005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 15' Mustang Ecoboost. 30+mpg highway, rwd fun, choice of trans, if you do decide to mod it has tons of potential. Go sit in a "premium", the interior is miles ahead of the 14'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 997 TT is always the answer to these "What should I buy" threads Just in case this excellent advice went too unnoticed the first time. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 997 TT if money spent is not a concern. The best CTS-V you can afford is the other answer. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you want to invest your money else where. The new Mazda 6, with aftermarket wheels and lowered, is the best looking non-luxury mid-size sedan out there. While that Mazda6 is certainly a nice car, Mazda might be the worst brand possible for comfort. They pack their cars with tons of nice features and technology, and they're competitive in the market pricewise, but for every nice feature they give you they take away some sound deadening, or some seat bolstering or some other physical comfort feature. I like Mazda as a brand, but it's the opposite of luxury and comfort. That's why I understand the apprehension for the Hyundai suggestions; they're typically the same in that regard as Mazda, but their luxury offerings break the mold and are really surprising. Now that I say it that way, I imagine if Mazda attempted to make a $50-70k executive sedan it'd be fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was car shopping in the past year and drover several Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 and I never once noticed any sound deadening or anything that was not comfy. For me, the seats were nice and heated with plenty of comfort and I never once heard any unwanted noise. I will say that this was a personal feeling and not a universal one. I would honestly check out a Mazda 6 or give one a test drive at the very least. A fully loaded one brand new is around 23-24k which is a bit cheeper then the other options mentioned. I would also say that if you can snag a cadillac CTS-V for a good price they are not to bad from what I hear and they have a Thupercharger =D Edited December 12, 2014 by ShowHBK Research is hard...

Sometimes that gets me when I look at pricing. If I am being completely honest here, yes they can go up to 34k on the GT version. I would rather go with the Touring model at 24k (which is what I was referring to in my op) but i guess if you really wanted all the bells and whistles the Grand Touring is 29k - 34K in price. I guess I should have specified the version of the car I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say that a lot of it isn't personal opinion, but as someone who spends all day every day getting in and out of various cars of various years, I can say with near absolute certainty that, compared to the average car in the market, Mazdas are a bit worse on NVH. They have come a LONG way since their mid 2000s offerings though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
