Recommand me a car.

I need the following categories satisfied:

-Enough power(335i level sounds good)
-No sedan. Either 2dr coupe/Convertible
-Looks good, luxurious.
-No FWD.
-High performance automatic transmission
-Price under 60k

What would you guys say? (no 335i please )

G35 COUPE

[rchanou]

I say 2007 G35 Coupe. Why limit yourself to a coupe/convertible?

[lux.sh]

hm.. 07 G35 Coupe. Im not sure if I want to downgrade from a bmw to nissan.
but that is a good option, thanks for the suggestion.

Now that I tried sedan for the first time(only owned coupes/hatchbacks in the past), I decided to go back and enjoy the nice sporty bodyline of the 2dr. I don't need 4 doors and sacrifice the look.

I look forward to changing it this fall, or winter.. I want to start shopping for one and possibly put down a deposit if any new model is due later this year.

CLK500

Sounds like an E46 M3 with SMG would fit into that price range.

Boxter S

[Saosin17]

used slk55amg... 0-60 in 4.7 sounds nice doesnt it... or something bigger you could get a used sl500 or carrera

[Nikki]

was there a reason why not 335i?

ok, for new cars, a couple are a little stretch

MB CLK350
MB SLK350
Volvo C70
Porsche Cayman
Porsche Boxter
BMW M Coupe
Audi S4/A4 Convertible

[RaptorKTM]

id get either a Audi RS4, s4 something there, or slk55, any amg is nice, bmw 550i, m3 e46 of course

[RaptorKTM]

just e46 because its 5 years old yet it puts most cars to shame still. but now its going to be impossible to get one new, there not in production anymore. but i know dealer that has 5 if ur intrested

[1001]

first thing that came to my mind was a G35 coupe. i had one and it was fun as hell to drive. it was just beautiful. the car should be less than 60k so with the rest of the money, you can buy a vortec supercharger to it and put out 400rwhp. if you think it's a downgrade, just get a caymen.

M3

[flush01]

cayman, i saw one today

[ward]

standard Cayman, or bosxster S should fill the bill nicely

[lux.sh]

Great suggestions.

SLK 55 AMG - Something I really wanted before E90. Couldn't get it, too expensive(I wanted one during the summer. Hardtop+Summer=premium). maybe now its a chance. 7spd auto sounds like something.

E46 M3 - Passed on it and got my E90. If I were to get E46 right now, I rather save up money and get ready for the new M3.

M coupe - Wanted it, and wanted REALLY badly, but wouldn't come in SMG. only 6spd manual.


I like how some of you mentioned Cayman. This was also something I really wanted until I found out how much premium I had to pay(wanted it when it came out). Maybe I should give it a try again.

As for the Boxster, I don't like how people call it a "chick car"(no offense to ladies). The new one is totally sexy and nowhere close to the one before.

All this however, it seems like porsches are lacking in power department. Under-rated or not, 270hp for what... 60? 65k?

[BeeEmDubU]

maybe a used nsx? i know, i know, they're overpriced and underpowered but thats just a suggestion.

[ward]

drive the boxster S and you'll never call it a chick car ever again. (and you'll lose some respect for BMW)


that is a serious car, and the new ones are much tougher looking than the 986 models

trust me, power is not "lacking" in the box S, it's a fast car

lawl ward, I've seen numerous posts of you praising the Boxster S. You need to suck it up, trade in your Z4, and get one ASAP.

I would have, but the great deals on the Z4 when I bought made the Z4 about 20 grand less than the boxster S. the boxster's better, but 20 grand better? yeah maybe......

and there's already a boxster S in the garage, not mine though.
I'm going to trade in the Z for a Cayman S when the time comes!!
