> [@walter](#): > > The M3 or MB are both going to be high mileage / not so great cars for under $25k. A B6 S4 gets horrid mileage, so I wouldn’t want one for high volume driving. I’d vote IS or RL thats what i’ve found thus far… how bad would an is350 be through the winter? 20mpg highway for the s4 pretty much ruled it out, along with the nav being in the gauge cluster. As for a cts-v, i thought about that, but resale, reliability, and how wonderful my malibu has been, etc etc make me hate GM… (that streetfire video didnt help my CTS-V image either) What else goes wrong with them? ---
