the wrx and the sti feel very nice, didnt find that much difference in the power?? however...the wrx 4 doors felt slow? they did not have a 4 door in the sti.

shake head! might go sporty over classy lol.

^ hate to say it ... but i told you so i told you so i told you so i told you so lmaoo just kidding man. Nice choice. Personally for me it wouldnt feel right driving a nice luxurious car in winter with all the salt and **** :P

Its a differnt drive then the MB that I like a lot...it is raw! But fun! Andaa lot less cash!

Will I look like a punk in it? Or sshould I just roll in the audi tt for a bit more?

nizmo370 · 01-10-2012, 10:57 PM

you can look like a punk in any car (ex. driving like a maniac trying to race everyone). Its really how you drive the car lol. Get the sti, you wont be disappointed. Its one hell of a machine.

BTW, if you do get an STI, don't mod it on the off chance that you do end up blowing up your engine. This way you won't be denied a warranty claim. Red Zed, for all his hollow bravado, will NOT be paying into your new engine fund in case something does happen and Subaru screws you over.

if i do go with the STI it will stay OME as its just the winter car. the Z is my mod car! full repaint and all!

Da.Menace · 01-13-2012, 01:24 PM

So jazz, has it really been decided on STI?

I recently test drove the Acura TL, and their SH-AWD is very, very nice (IMO). I purposely tried running around in cirlces while snowing, climbing uphill,, and didn't have much traction loss. The car was pretty much in control. However the snow was not deep enough for some deep snow testing.

Just another suggestion

jazz · 01-13-2012, 01:40 PM

its still up in the air! i did have the most fun in the STi. i do like the style of the c300 and it drove well. did not like the 335x! and the is250...just ok...and it does feel small in the back.

after doing some surfing...i saw the "ATS" (caddy)...might have to go to the car show and see it live!

IDZRVIT · 01-14-2012, 08:56 AM

The only Caddy I would consider is the CTS-V coupe. Almost had the wife talked into trading her Z in on one but she likes top down cruising.

Paskii · 01-14-2012, 04:34 PM

What about a used S4?

But if I had to choose between your selection i'll go with MB considering it looks better overall and great interior.

Sent you a PM on importing Pharmacist so as not to hijack the thread. I've done it twice! Piece of cake!

Depends on what you are buying. I would agree with that statement on a new Z (and most new cars), but there are a ton of cars worth crossing the boarder in the used market even when the dollar is lower. You can easily save 10K on high end stuff after all is said and done.

just saw the 2013 ford fusion...wow!

LMBmikeZ · 01-16-2012, 07:36 PM

Come on now jazz! Now your heading in the wrong direction!.....IMO

Why not look at something like a Volvo s60r????? Now that is a nice machine!
