    buying a new car soon
    Most likely wont buy a brand new car, but Im not buying anything older than 2008. These are the 5 options im thinking right now. Out of the 5, I've only driven the A4. If you have any of these cars, give me a quick review.
    BMW 328i
    Audi A4
    Acura TSX
    Lexus IS 250
    Mercedes Benz c300

      Mercedes and BMW only buy if you wanna shell out a bunch of money for maintenance. The audi is close in that department. The TSX is a smaller car. If you can step it up id go for the IS350.

          Go with the Honda. Cheaper & less maintenance & the TSX is a sharp ride

            Yeah, the european cars are definitely more expensive to maintain. I test drove the new A4 a couple weeks ago and it was fukkin nice. Will most likely test drive a lexus this weekend

              that 250 aint gonna compare to an A4...some may disagree but the a4 is a different class

                  here ill give you the real breakdown. I had a BMW for 2 years, 03 325xi. Greatest handling car for your price range with great breaks. No car will take a turn like that, but once your out of warrenty its not worth having, every single part is so expensive and you almost always have to take it to a BMW dealership because they need special tools to fix your car, this is basically the same with mercedes and audi i just think the BMW is the best. With that being said i currently drive a TSX 06 though. It is a very nice car, probably has the nicest interior of all the cars youll buy and the navigation system is very easy to use and fairly accurate. The handling isnt nearly as good as the BMW and i do miss that a lot. The TSX is a lot more practical in my opinion and for my position for work seeing how i drive over 100 miles per day. I am going to be looking for a new car next year but i want an all wheel drive car and something a little faster than the tsx going to be a hard decision so hopefully i helped you!

                      Get yourself a Toyota and learn to stop like Fred Flinstone; with your feet.

                          The TSX does nothing for me. How about the G37 coupe or sedan?

                                  Why you wasting all that money on a car just to drive down the fukkin street to work and maybe on the weekend drive 20 miles?? I know your type, I can see it now when you drive those flashy cars you want everyone to see you with windows rolled down and your fukkin head stuck out the fukkin window. Son your an ego maniac. I think your vision here is getting laid so your going to sepnd like $35,000 maybe to get laid 4x times a year with the car.

                                  I would not let your ego get involved here, I would buy an old car and everyone think your barreled in.

                                  Son call me and I can guide you.

                                    Thanks for the recognition! But salesmen who sell these type of cars have tremendous patience, something I lost along time ago.

                                    Nowadays I am more like "You looking to buy a car or not?" "Let's do this, I don't have all day."

                                    If you are looking for a car, and take more than 2 days to buy one, something is seriously wrong with you, and I don't need the headache. Also, if you walk on the lot with a notebook....I'm running the other way!

                                    Good Luck on your search, but these cars are out of my league.

                                      My buddy has an A4 and loves it..... he says the key is finding a good independent mechanic rather than some pricey dealership service department.

                                        The G37 is an all around awesome car. The TSX is just a dressed up accord.

                                          You'd definitely run from me, took me awhile to buy my last two cars.

                                                And if you're gonna get a BMW get the 335i.
