might be in the market for a RWD sports sedan soon...


May 12, 2022, 1:25 PM

my wife wants me to get something expensive so she can get "whatever car she wants" in a couple of years. I'm kind of stuck on a used Audi A or S4, A or S6 or maybe a sportback A5. I'm pretty sure getting one of those cars will mean I mostly drive her 4runner since Audi is the "Whatever car she wants" she's talking about.

But right now used BMW's and Infiniti's are getting really blah reviews about their driving experience. They are fast, they handle well, but you would never know because you are so isolated from the driving experience.

Will probably drive a few cars from the Genesis line but the reviews on those are pretty boring too.

Thoughts?

How much room do you need?


May 12, 2022, 1:36 PM

If the answer is "not a ton", get yourself an Audi RS3: 5 cylinder turbo, AWD, 400 HP. Fun stuff.

I was reading a review of the Audi S3 once and they were like, "Great car, but save some money and get the Golf R." So then I read their Golf R review and they were like, "Great car, but save some money and get the GTI." I stopped reading at that point, but I could only assume that three or four articles later they'd be recommending a bus pass.

I had a GTI I wore out...

It was fun, but I missed the rear wheel drive. Ironically, my wife would sit in an Audi (when we bought my daughter her car she sat in one on the lot) and gush about the layout of everything. And then we'd get in my GTI to leave and I'd be like does this feel at all familiar? Anything look similar to something you sat in today?

Gensis G70 3.3T, AWD


May 12, 2022, 1:39 PM

Far from boring. Interior is really nice, but maybe not as nice as German lux. However, you get better reliability, warranty, and replacement parts are Kia-priced, not "sorry we can't only use OEM parts so prepare to bend over, no lube."

Seriously considering a Genesis...


May 12, 2022, 1:48 PM

wife will find it distasteful.

If you really want to go distasteful...


May 12, 2022, 1:50 PM

Go for a Stinger GT2 and tell her you paid $55k for a used Kia.

(Not to besmirch either the Stinger or Kia.)

Don’t know what your budget is like, but I would strongly recommend at least test driving a C43

The smart buy for a new car is most definitely one of these:

Haven’t driven a new one, but 2013 to 2018

M5s are phukkin’ rocket ships, and lower on the maintenance scale than other M series. You will need to make friends with a good mechanic, regardless, cuz….BMW dealerships don’t take Deutsche marks anymore.

not sure what your budget is, but you should check out.....

I drive all the time for work, so it's gotta be reasonable

to drive all the time and comfortable to take the family out to dinner when we only have two of the older kids home, which is 95% of the time now.
