Def go with the 370, you wont regret it. As for your wife, i was looking almost the same cars myself before i got my Z, the A5 & g37, style wise, the A5 is a beautiful car, even inside, its just if you car about power, you need to step up to the bigger engine, but as far as drivability in my opinion, the A5 is better then the G.

I disagree..Ive driven the A5 and its highly underpowered..fit and finish were great, but Audi's are on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to reliability..I would've picked a 335i, but went with the G because everyone in my area has a A5/S5/335i/135i

edit: my bad..you meant drivability..well since its underpowered and has awd..i guess it is..but whats the fun in getting a slow good looking car?

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 06:43 PM

Well for her power isnt much, its more reliability, though the car will be leased and under warranty, she doesnt like going to the dealership, so its looking like the g37 or the lexus for her. I am pretty much made up on the 370, now just not sure if I wanna get a vert or coupe as I know not everyone likes it, but I love the convertible, just wanna make sure I am confortable in it.

I will have to disagree with that statement. Ive owned 2 Audis that were turbo charged and never had any issues with the reliability of the car in any way. Those engines can go 200K easy with no probs, other than the usual things that pop up in all cars. Plus their interiors are far more superior to most cars. I would have gone for the TTS but I wanted the power so I went for the Z but I do know that I did downgrade on a few things by going with the Z. Plus even when modded Audi never questioned that when it did come to replacing things that were actually blown by it being modded. I once had the paint on my radio buttons wear away and they replaced the whole radio no questons asked. Nissan actually looks for ways to get out of fixing things if modded.

The A5 is a little weak on power but the S5 isnt.

Just MHO

While my Audi was reliable too, it's hard to hide from 10 years of Consumer's report data....

Zsteve · 11-02-2009, 08:19 PM

I guess numbers dont lie but I have to tell you for the 8 years I had the 2 TTs the only probs I had were due to me modding the cars, ie blown DVs and such. I think I had to replace a battery once and had the paint come off the stereo buttons but all replaced no questions asked.

I had my interior changed out in my Z as part of the deal and Nissan took control of my car and took it to a place to have it done and a clip on the door panel is a little loose so I went back to Nissan and they are already saying they cant fix it cuz its not original. Now they are taking it back to the shop that did the work but they sure as hell arent taking responsibility for a item they agrred to do and even suggested it it to me to get me into the car. Now I will be moving to Tx soon and will have a prob if I need the seats fixed. They are already backing away and I never got that from Audi. Hopefully a call to Nissan HQ will get them to warrenty it since they agreed to it and never said they wouldnt warrenty it. But the seats do look good and it fits great.

I knew toyota was good for reliability.

Moonlitebiker · 11-02-2009, 08:40 PM

One of the ways to check reliability of a car is to look at the cost of their extended warranty. It's my understanding that Audi's cost is near the top.

Personally I was looking at Audi until my mechanic, and good friend, had a heart to heart with me.

Now I have to go back and look at that pic of the Camaro hood again.

Slynky · 11-02-2009, 08:56 PM

Can't say I have ever liked the new Camaro. The new Z design and the whole G35/G37 series are design winners.

At the risk of a "fight", I'd have to say few cars rival the style of the Z. Corvette, the Sky, and perhaps (uhhh...) the Solstice (but that's stretching it a bit).

Speaking of interiors, unless there have been changes, the Elise cockpit is really spartan. Love the body, though.

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 11:01 PM

Slynky, the elise is barbarian at best, but its more of a race car. The NEW lotus evora, holy c... it was really nice, and the fact that the g/f actually prefered it more then the porsche made me a very happy guy. I believe in lotus more then alot of companies, b/c they stick to true sports car theories. Less weight, and decent power, combined together make an amazing vehicle.

I am laughing at the hood comments, and no that is not my g/f if anyone is wondering. She was taking that picture at the time, so I do find it funny that she got that perfect timing.

The Lotus is a sweet ride but as far as the Camaro goes I couldn't live with a car who's front end grins back

I like how in that chart, nissan skyrockets upwards at 3 years. Hope I don't hit 36,000 before the 3 year mark! :P
