Bourne33065 Posted November 14, 2005 Author Posted November 14, 2005 10 Times!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP that's alot in such a short time. Cool, thanks for the advice. The IS was definitly my number 1 choice, what do you think of the 250? Hi, I currently own a 93 SC400. And Iam looking for a new car, I want something comfy,fast, safe, and nice looking.

Nerpie Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Whats your price range? The new IS is a great choice. BMW 3 series is also good, a more driver oriented car than the IS Nissan Z is fast car, that car just pulls and pulls and pulls. Not much luxury tho. GTO is a simple mans car. No fancy stuff, just engine, transmission, and you. Infinti G35 is Nissan Z with a little more luxury. Lexus GS would be NICE, but a little more pricey than the rest Subaru Sti or Lancer Evolution for no compromise performance. Luxury suffers tho. I would recommend... Lexus IS or GS if you got the money Subaru Legacy GT or WRX Acura TL or RL if you got the money Infiniti G35, or M35/45 if you got the money Stay away from American cars if you want luxury, safety, styling and performance. American cars will offer 2 or 3 of those at the most. You cant go wrong with all the above choices. Drive them all and see which one give s you that "funny" feeling in your stomach. Have fun shopping!
jzz30 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 GS430 man that car is hot! oh yea and the IS is second hot in the new lineup have you tried driving an S2000? hehe
Bourne33065 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 My price range is around 25 to 35 around that. Thanks for all the choices I will definitly look into them. But between the BMW 3 series and the IS which the better choice for luxury, speed, and over all a better car? Thanks for all the input. Whats your price range?The new IS is a great choice.

Bourne33065 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 No, I didn't think that the S2000 was as nice of a car as the others, do you think it can run with the others in terms of luxury and speed? GS430 man that car is hot!oh yea and the IS is second hot in the new lineup have you tried driving an S2000? hehe ←
jzz30 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 i still havent driven the 06 GS nor the 306hp IS but luxury, your better off with a 3 or an IS, speed and cornering... well all i have to say for that is i love my s2000 haha! but it is a pure sports car so its not quiet, the ride is kinda harsh compared to the lux brands and well there is no torque at low rpm's but there is 8000-9000 rpm (depending on the year) of almost endless reving that just screams after 6000 rpm. and you gatta love a convertible! :P
melhadri Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 More luxury, reliability, market value and lower maintanence costs w/ Lexus. Haven't driven the new 3 series but I have heard good speed and handling reviews; typical with any BMW, however, the 2006 models in general have lacked build quality...take a look at this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=25547
Bourne33065 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 Alright, I will definitly look into it. :) i still havent driven the 06 GS nor the 306hp IS but luxury, your better off with a 3 or an IS, speed and cornering... well all i have to say for that is i love my s2000 haha! but it is a pure sports car so its not quiet, the ride is kinda harsh compared to the lux brands and well there is no torque at low rpm's but there is 8000-9000 rpm (depending on the year) of almost endless reving that just screams after 6000 rpm. and you gatta love a convertible! :P ←
