You’ll spend $5k on gas though. Yeah, I edited my orginal post and didn’t change the pricing. It made sense originally. Eh. ---

What do people think about the newest generation 3 and 5 series. Im mostly looking for comfort, reliability, fuel economy(meh somewhat), room, etc. etc. Fast is cool but not needed. So i was looking at lik 2005-2006 525 and 545. Is it just a power difference. I know i should look on bimmerforums but figured i would ask. Do people seem happy with the newest generation? 06 330’s are selling for about what an 04 is. Also i like the way the benz 240 sedan looks. Any imput on these? ---

if you would drive an fwd car id say get an 04-06 acura TL 6sp navi. Those have brembo front brakes and the navi/bluetooth works pretty good. ![http://dealerimages.gabriels.net/Autos/2049/2049_st0640_037.jpg](http://dealerimages.gabriels.net/Autos/2049/2049_st0640_037.jpg) 270hp 3.2 v6, its a mid 14 sec car in a 6sp, the auto is a dissapointment though. ---

For fun car: Rx8… setting aside my bias and looking at the facts: sure its slow, but thats the only downfall. Reliability: I have had no problems with mine in the two years Ive owned it and the 18k miles I put on it. Pros: 4 seats, coupe, smooth, handles good, looks good… just needs more power but who cares its a blast to run through the gears… ---

Not familiar with that or volvo at all for that matter but they seem nice. Im going to check it out right now. What do we know about their reliability and cost of ownership?
