Help me pick a new DD!!

They claim the power matches the car very well, like more power would make the car less fun. I still want one. I'll wait till the warrantee runs out and buy one used. Then slap a turbo kit on it.

if "they" means Subaru then of course they're going to say that

I drove it and it was slow but I still liked it overall and given the warranty I damn near bought the thing. hell had there been a dealer near BRG I probably would have snagged one there.

they are if you're a single guy without kids.

YOLO!

Or a married guy with grown kids FTW!

Acura TSX with a manual is a lot of fun, but still refined and comfortable when you want it to be. An Acura TL with the SH-AWD is deceptively quick and handles well, but generally pretty expensive even used.

And I'm sure I'll catch shit for saying it, but I like the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan. Comfortable, enough pep to suit for a DD, four door, decent fuel economy and they're not terribly expensive. While not in the realm of some of the other cars you want, I would much rather get something towards the lower end of the price scale where somebody else has eaten most of the depreciation on the car and spend about 10-15k myself. Pay it off within 2-3 years to build credit, insurance generally is cheaper, and you can put aside money for a bigger downpayment towards a more expensive toy down the road.

I'm with you serge. I love the Fusion.

I agree, the new Fusion looks great!

I wish Ford would sell the Falcon over here.

FRS/BRZ. You have a VR-4. You won't care about the FR-S being slow because you're not replacing the VR-4.

Jim, if you buy an SLK AMG, I want a thread & ISP-crushing high-rez pics.

Sorry I haven't gotten to check in... crazy week.

Lexus IS is a nice car, no doubt. I always wanted one of the 250's with awd but I think only the 350's come with awd. I'll look into them though, good call!

I hear the same thing about the brz/frs debate. Slow, but fun. I want something a little more... Professional looking I guess. That's the only thing stopping me on those cars. As well as depreciation value and stuff.

I won't be buying a new car. No way.

I saw a g8 today and thought about that. I would prefer to stay away from 4 doors, but that's one of the cars I would make an exception to. On a similar note, I have thought about one of the older cuts-v coupes... those are nice.

I'll check in with what the credit union says after the week after next. Lots of factors to weigh, but I will be making a move towards good credit in one way or another!

Thanks for all of the responses guys!
