Audi or Mercedes Benz?

Saying you own a 1 series BMW is like bragging about owning a Dodge Neon fully loaded. It's got everything in it. A lit cup holder. Power Windows. Look, my visor has an extension on it!
Wife had a convertible M Series until she spun it out on Gene Snyder and totaled it in the cables.
I've never been in a 1-series - and would never buy one because I like larger cars, but isn't it a significantly better ride from a performance standpoint than say a Toyota Corolla?
I once had a S60 series Volvo and it was one of the funnest cars to drive I ever owned. Like a little rocket with an outstanding ride and handling. I love Volvo. If I was going to go apeshit and splurge I'd buy a new XC90 over everything listed in this thread.

Lol volvos have been pure **** for a while Mr. That's Just a Ford.
I don't even think Ford owns them anymore.
There's a reason you saw every uppity soccer mom in those new xc90's when they came out, and you don't see a one of em on the road today. Shame, they really made a sexy looking vehicle.

Shouldn't you be using that money to help the poor? Isn't that what Liberals do?
Oh no, that's right, they just want everyone ELSE to help the needy, while they continue a life of exclusivity and riches.
I really hope you're joking. Seeing you whine for days on the political thread, only to come next door to a car topic and brag about your money and cars while looking down on us poors might be the finest example of hypocrisy I've ever seen.

But, agree on the Volvo's. they do a lot of things right.. Seating, stereos, reliability (well, can't comment on the newest models).
Yup. Bought my wife an XC90 at one point and it was a total pain in the ***. That car was the devil.
But man, really, are corvettes a pain? Because you can get a lot of vehicle for the price....
Its comparable to an Audi R8 at a fraction of the cost.
Not that you're in the market for a 160k Audi....there's one r8 in my town, driven by a middle eastern kid. Must be a prince. It's blue chrome and he drives it to all the fast food joints on the bypass. Cracks me up.

Corvettes are an incredible value for what you get, albeit your hen will start asking if you've started your mid-life crisis, have to get a cheesedick vanity plate, and become proficient in the wink/gun hand gesture. Great car if it wasn't for all those negatives.
Buddy of mine got a used R8 a few months ago, I'm jonesing to take it for a spin.
Still eager to hear Zuisudra's garage inventory.

Volvo drivers are pure, miserable ********. Hate em all
Nice hearse.
Volvos are as fun to drive as clipping your toenails after a long bath (luxurious when you do it, but a necessary evil). Heavy, lumbering and stoic. Volvo owners must be a real party if they think that's $55k of fun.
BTW: Volvos are the euro version of a Subaru. All commercials catered to women who couldn't give a **** about driving experience ... because they are...well, women.
Enjoy.

Mazda6 now.. 1.5 years left on payments. One way I'm leaning is to grab a pickup truck for property management/outdoor sports.
It seems they are the last vehicle to really hold value and there were some crazy year-end/new year deals on Chevy and Ram. Even contemplating keeping the Mazda6 (for mileage) and getting a used pickup or an entry level for now.

All American made muscle right now. Camaro RS 6.2 and 300C 5.7 Hemi. Probably have another Euro in a year or two and it will more than likely be an XC90 as despite you morons I love those and want one.
Z owns us again. Stacked the deck with some Camaro luxury. You rascal.

IF... and that's one big IF... you own both of those cars you've just proven your ignorance, thanks!!
Don't think a Camaro RS can be had with the 6.2, in fact it's the trim level for the poors so congrats Z I guess.
I'm a car nut. I change cars faster than just about anyone so... but I don't work on them. All I do is drive and I move to all different types. Trucks, SUVs, Euro sedans... only thing is I've never owned a Jeep and if I don't get an XC90 then I might get an Overland or a Summit to try for a year or two.
Also, I never ever lease. I hate that **** which is odd for as often as I switch cars. No point in criticizing my taste as I will have a different car by the time you read this. LOL.

False. The RS is the appearance package. Nothing to do with the motor.
" The RS appearance package is available on both the LT and SS and features 20-inch wheels with a darker gray tone, halo rings around xenon headlamps, a unique spoiler, and red RS or SS badges."
And it damned sure isn't for the poors.

I'm kinda partial to those 1973 lime green Ford Pinto's. Now
there's you a car.
I've heard in an E-Class, even with a quarter tank of gas you are still fly.

For a death trap POS, that's actually a pretty good looking car.
Pintos are great. Just make sure you keep a bag of marsh mellows in the glove box in case you are rear ended. The folks that scrape you out of it will need something to snack on.
I live in the Naples area and can attest to this. Hell, I saw two Ferrari's today. See tons of Tesla's down here as well
I worked in West Palm Beach FL for awhile in the 80's and read an article that said Palm Beach was the only place in the world where it was statistically probable that two Rolls Royce's would have an accident with each other. Hope that helps the discussion.
Look at you Mr Moneybags. Just responding to you increased my credit score by 10 points.
Haha Willy, im one of the SWFL poors.....BUT JUST WAIT UNTIL I HIT THAT POWERBALL!
My wife bought an Audi earlier this year, kind of against my wishes. But, it was her "turn" to get what she wanted, and that was it. I must admit; the damn thing drives, rides and handles like a dream. Incredible vehicle and a sharp whip.
BMW's heritage is built on small sports sedans (like the 2002) and defined by the 3 series, not the larger cars. If you want the best of what BMW represents, you buy one of these. Such as a 3 series or an M3.
And most people who own one don't refer to it as a bimmer. The call it what it is, or they learn the chassis code.
That said, if the OP hits the lottery and has a bigger budget, check out the Giulia Quadrifoglio. It appears to be a legend in the making.
If you're seeking a good driving experience and dynamic car, you made a better choice. 5 series is a great car, but it's just too big if you're really into spirited driving.
But don't discount BMW 4 cylinders outright. Exhaust note aside, BMW has a history of high performing 4 cylinders. The e30 M3 was a 4 cylinder and that car is fantastic. There were a couple of super clean ones that sold last year or the year before for $150 K each. And that was for the standard version, not any special edition.
And their F1 engine from the early eighties was a turbo charged 4 cylinder. It was just 1.5 liters and produced 1,100 HP during qualifying, which is insane. Outside of a couple incidents, BMW knows how to make a good engine.
