Aaron Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 How about a s5? I heard they are sweet dd's? :gabe: How about an Audi S5? :gabe: :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 The S5 was/is a gorgeous car. However, it wasn't fast enough for me to justify its crappy gas mileage. Also, I know now how much I value four doors on a daily driver. The lack of a functional backseat on the S5 annoyed me. It was too expensive to not care about door dings but not expensive enough to baby. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Regardless of what car you end up with you've missed out on a huge opportunity; this process as a reality show. A "bachelor" spin off where "Johnny Bravo has 10 exotic suitors but only has one spot in his garage. Comming to prime time this fall, The Daily". There's always 2016.

Specifically, the stupid knob that controls everything. It was annoying enough that it's a serious deterrent from buying another Audi.

2highpsi Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Still in the running = Cadillac, Audi, BMW . It was too expensive to not care about door dings but not expensive enough to baby. Lesson learned. Most of the named above would kind of be the same problem, no? I forgot to mention (or maybe I said it earlier?) that I despised the Audi electronic controls. Specifically, the stupid knob that controls everything. It was annoying enough that it's a serious deterrent from buying another Audi. I know them feels. SEE JONES! I told you I wasn't the only one! How this episode is playing out in my head: Tilley: Roger, I have a problem... Roger the Car Salesman: Yes? Tilley: I've been in Columbus for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me. Roger the Car Salesman: Well, an Audi would certainly change that. Tilley: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 997TT... Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur. Tilley: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part. http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/12-12-2014/Wf_YLK.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Biggest issue with the 997TT...not enough hair room. -Marc Seat goes down so low I can barely see over the wheel when it's at its lowest setting. Pretty much fits zero of his desired criteria...which is why it's the obvious winner. I drove our TT the last two days to work. I'm pretty sure I would be arrested if I was allowed to steal it more often. Back to the A4 on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Any specific reason you do not want an Infiniti? I think for the money spent vs. what you get it is by far the best brand out there. Not to mention resale on them is actually pretty good. Maintenance costs/schedules are minimal and can be taken care of at a Nissan dealer for a noticeable amount cheaper. They are extremely reliable for being a "luxury" car, that being said I would personally buy a Q50/G37x CPO before anything else. I feel like an Infiniti is much easier to deal with, all the electronics systems are very well thought out and user friendly. It isn't like an Audi where it will take you 15 minutes to get into the screen to add a radio preset, and another 10 minutes to add a preset. I'd at least go drive the shit out of a G37x, or even a G37xS if you can find one locally. Pro- No CVT. Con- Flappy paddles Just my $0.02 though. Re-read initial post, here is a good example. It is even white and they have plenty of head/hair room. http://www.infinitiofeaston.com/certified/Infiniti/2013-Infiniti-G37x-c99d24c10a0a0002755f70b9d4840b60.htm EDIT- What about a Cadillac XTS? I was working on one at work and they are seem to be fit for a baller. $65k cars new, Selling for $30k's now.... http://cartype.com/pics/7848/full/cadillac_xts_platinum_10_02.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making the cut = Mazda, Hyundai, Ford, or Infiniti Still in the running = Cadillac, Audi, BMW Please continue. TIA ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was going to say the S4 seems like a no brainer too, until you said you hate the HMI. Anyone know how long have they made the CTS-V sport? Seems like it could be a great car since you don't want the V8 supercharged power levels of the full blown V.

Green Bastard Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Have you thought about looking at an Acura? From what I understand they are fairly comfortable cars, and get decent gas mileage, and have the reliability of a Honda. Personally I like something like this, though I am sure you would want something with lower miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Don't all the modern BMW's have iDrive? ...which is a single knob that controls everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 If BMW's iDrive is anything like Audi's, they're out. Garrett's post/link has Infiniti back in the mix. Revised cut: Out: Hyundai, Mazda, Ford, Audi (thanks for reminding me Brian), BMW (if iDrive is anything like Audi's), Acura Still in the running: Infiniti (back in), Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes I was planning on hitting up a couple of dealership lots this weekend just to see what was there - Germain out at Easton, maybe Kelly BMW (just to confirm the iDrive hatred), and likely Toy Barn. Keep the suggestions coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
