Sup gen auto crew. My sister is looking for a new daily and she is an experiened driver (have driven RWD most of her life) and she wants a new whip. she originally wants an M3 but im trying to steer her away because im going to want to give her some serious power to work with, tuning . bolt ons ECT. she wants a FUN car that can back it up. looking for some suggestions for a nice powerful daily preferred AWD. BESIDES the obvious below…
Volvo s60r
sti/wrx
audi s4(preferred) or a4 (pros/cons?)
she is thinking mini coop S but obviously its FWD
so just wondering if you guys had any other ideas i can throw at her.:meh:
she hates the look of the g8 gt and she drove one and wasnt impressed (idk) maybe because it needs mods to “feel” fast. That is what she said. We both know it puts up numbers but she just said it doesnt feel fast. Plus the cost of a brake job on a GTO is rediculous $600 an axel in parts alone…(price at my dealership)
The m3 is a first choice but she is going to drive it in the winter… and i just dont feel right having her rust out an m3. it doesn’t settle well with me for some reason. But i am trying to get her to keep her current dd. (saturn Ion, she got for cheap and gas mileage)
i wouldn’t feel bad on the sti. i have a soft spot for m3’s m5’s but not base 3’s and 5’s.
but she definitly wants an M vs base. asthetics, power. ect.
wow, you can blow me. All im asking here is suggestions for a range of cars for her to test drive to get the car she feels is the best for her needs.
AND im not swaying her opinion at ALL i just said maybe she should try some others as well to make sure its what she wants. SOOO she said give me a list to try.
the GTO/ G8’s are bland in styling in her opinion. even though the drivetrain/body are tried and true. The g8 is indeed way sexier in styling.
You can find a great condition E46/E39 M car for 20K and under all day. I wouldn’t worry about any rust, many people daily them in the winter and have had no signs of rust. But As mentioned if your worried about the maint. costs on a GTO and M car wouldn’t be the way to go. And neither would any performance car for that matter IMO. My vote is for a base E46 328. There cheap, well built, quite reliable, and pretty fun to drive.
As do I. But for the reason that it is a very understated looking car. (see title) Its a bit silly to say the GTO is bland and then buy an E39 5 series haha
WTF are you fucking sick? ITS MY SISTER why the fuck would i have nudes. maybe you have pics of you sis nude, but that is just fucked up.
And the prices i got were from oem gm. i didnt even check aftermarket.This said, she is still ho-hum on styling.
i would have her rock the ion, but she doesnt want to keep it eventhough there is nothing wrong with it. Im thinking re-sale rusty mileage vs clean mileage.
