What to get ?
What to get ?
14-09-2018, 08:44 PM
I got to a point when I need to sell my IS200. I still love it and everything but if I wait a bit more I will sell it for peanuts..so I'd rather sell it while is still in a good condition.
I am looking at getting a manual, rear wheel drive or AWD, cheap (er)..than my IS200 on fuel if possible, with more power. The cars I have been considering are:
BMW 320i, 320d, 323I - 2006 onwards
Audi A4 - 1.8 or 2.0l Quattro - 2006 Onwards - B7 shape onwards
Lexus IS250 - Sport version
NOw I have few pros' and cons for each of them but I would like to hear your oppinion. I would love to get the rear wheel drive as opposed the AWD as they are more fun (on the wet
)) but I dont mind the look of them.What do you guys think? Any issues with them? Is anyone here owining any of them? I'd like to hear an objective oppinion (hard to do it on a Lexus forum aye?).
Cheers

However, this is a Jap car forum, and of the choices you have listed, there is only one real choice (and it's what I would have picked anyway as I prefer the look of them!)

Oh ok...I dont look at it this way however I am wonderign if you say the same thing if I was gonna say that I am getting a Bugatti Veyron or a Porsche GT3 or something like that.:ohmy:
I am not really looking at a german car maker as such, but in the saloon class, rear wheel drive I think they have it...apart from Lexus.
I could consider Subaru even, but ..boxer engine = thristy+problems =>money spent.
Cheers.

Lexuspat it would be lexus all the way for me im sorry
i do like the audis but you have to pay so much for the comforts lexus come with
Hence your forum name.
Tempted on Lexus too mate, but I am a bit concerned of the fuel bills...I was hoping I could reduce them a bit (hence my choice of the 4 cyl car over a 6 cyl) . More power, true that...but heavier car too...so much of a muchness really....
**** decision making process...studied it in school, working and analysing it every day and now I have to go through it as well...life is hard!
