Used. Take that luck and put it to work on some German engineering. Maybe you'll get another free car.[user not found] wrote:Definitely not 60s doe

I’ll start with what to avoid to your liking.
RS3 will definitely be an issue as far as kid room is concerned. Source: my uncle has an 11 month old baby and drives a Macan S.
He also had a CLA45 AMG, not only the lack of seat room is a concern, but the way the rear doors are shaped where i almost hit my head one time. Otherwise that car is a riot to drive as I experienced it riding shotgun.
Now the good stuff:
340i are especially with fakesport, but don’t expect to have “sporty steering feel”, but im told with the LCI F30’s that issue has been resolved?
The S4’s are pretty nice, worth to take a look, but just like almost all audi’s they are prone to understeer.
Q50’s are great and probably wouldn’t worry as much for reliability concerns compared to Germans.
So in rank excluding the M3:
1) q50
2) s4/s5 sb
3) 340i
4) cla45 amg
5) Golf R
6) rs3
If you’re getting a cpo GTI, get the mk7.5 perhaps the rabbit edition if you want essentially the base PP, comes with 7 speed DSG, but no sunroof doe. Or get spec, which makes mine inferior in comparison.

A CTS-V is probably near the price range and would very pretty too.

A CPO CTSV should be in the range. Plus supercharged V8

I vote for doubling down on the Italian-ness.

New $125k MSRP Quattroporté can be found for around $80k in just about every color combination still. Purple is obviously the best

I assume you have driven them no?[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 11:02 am Scratch the Infiniti.
That’s a whole lotta meh.
M3 in the $60s is gonna be a tough find. But that’s be my frontrunner.
Or a GoRf. Go find an unsold Spektrum car.

I think you have to ignore that and understand that you are strapping yourself into the baddest mf Atlas booster rocket America has ever produced and that owning a Hellcat will be a fun story in 30 years.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 10:34 amI'll have to drive one.
