For mekk:
(RS version on the bottom, but close enough)
Dunno, I think the S5 is pretty understated. I'd call it a little bland for a performance car.
I'd say the Fiat looks like it is trying too hard. You can't tell me this doesn't look silly:
- Yes the Audi looks good but it's too serious for me. It sure is fast and everything but it doesn't put a smile on me.mekk
- That picture of the 500 is not an actual 500, this one is: http://images.car.ba…mekk
- I'd say the 500 looks like a fun ride while the Audi and BMW look like toys for Autobahn business.mekk
- To each their own, I guess. The Fiat looks like a toy for a 20 yr old, or pizza delivery (there's a small fleet of them here, looks cool for that purpose).formed
- The bmw/audi looks like sophisticated cars that have class but also performance (maybe not that M2/4, a little over the top with the scoops)formed
- build quality is light years ahead, though, and having driven my m3 for years I can't go several steps downformed
- formed, I actually am a 20something old looking for a toy =)mekk
- that's me, though, I love build quality and attention to detail, hugely important for a major investment (to me)formed
- I mean, just look at the price tag of the M4 and compare that to the 500. No way I'll be spending M4 money if the 500 makes me so happymekk
- 0-60 doesn't matter so much, anything can be 'fast' (but yeah, these are all fast, I racked up a handful of tickets in teh first few weeks)formed
- Yes, I love the interior of my BMW. The 500 is a downgrade here.mekk
- and look at the M3/S5, the interior is a massive step up from your 325 (everything from materials to seats to wheel, etc.)formed
- so here's how I look at it: 500 is a toy, probably a blast to drive, but will plummet in value and is an economy car at heard.formed
- The M3/S5 were built for things you/we'll never do, they last. They also hold value, after 8 years of driving, my car is only about 20-30% less in valueformed
- yeah you don't buy sports cars for their great value..mekk
- 20-30% decline over 8 years is pretty stellar. I do buy things with selling in mind, knowing I'll always do taht eventually.formed
- That bmw m2 is the fuckin business. From what I hear its as good as it gets.
Those audis are too big to be 2 door cars. meh.sofakingback
