I cannot decide on a new car :(
Okay, first of all, i am REALLY picky. I will give you the model, and why I like and don't like it. I'm probably going to decide by the end of typing this thread with all my +'s and -'s lol!
I want RWD, 6spd man, and electronic goodies. (bluetoof, heated seats, nice factory sound system, etc. etc.) basically a nice Grand Touring car.
The List:
#1 Infiniti G37 Coupe
Pros - Cheapest, Premium package has EVERYTHING, seats 4, 6spd, rwd, nice brakes, handles awesome. Warranty, limited slip diff.
Cons - Gas mileage, kinda heavy
#2 BMW 335 Coupe
Pros - Twin turbo, its a BMW, 6spd, rwd. good handling. Warranty
Cons - ATLEAST $6k more than G37 similarly equipped. no LSD
#3 2005 M3 Competition Package
Pros - Its an M car, 6spd, rwd, etc. etc.
Cons - A 2005 is the price of 2008 Infiniti, Insurance, gas mileage, repairs out of warranty. Dated styling.
#4 2008 Subaru Sti
Pros - Pocket rocket
Cons - Price is insane, mileage totally blows, i dont think AWD is for me.
#5 BMW 135i
Pros - Twin turbo, Lighter and cheaper than 335i.
Cons - Fugly and small.
So basically the G37 Coupe is my best bet? Best bang for the buck thats for sure.
I guess I just need to know if ya'll think its a nice car? I need some support! hahaha
thnx!

335i ftw. G35/37 are getting played out in my opinion, there for sure a nice car but there as common as civics anymore.

i'd take the G, tom.
the 135 is growing on me, but still out of my price range or i'd have one.
the used M could be your best bet if you got a lucky one, but you know as well as i do that there's going to be some unseen costs in that thing. you'll love it, but you'll hate it.
the sti fails, i dont see you in that at all.
the 335i coupe is tempting but the G will make you just as happy without killing your pocket.
