Exclamation Post TSX decision

Well, since most of this board has good taste, let me get everyone's opinion. I just sold my '05 TSX Navi. I can't decide on the next car. Since my wife already has a 4-door Accord, I want a coupe or something fun. So I've searched and searched and narrowed it down to two cars.

1. 2008 Audi TT 2.0T coupe

Pros:
-Gas Milage
-Great ride
-Nice looks

Cons:
-Not sure about reliability. But I'm leasing.
- Slow compared to competition
-Overpriced? Although the dealer knocked off $3k right away, i'm not sure if it's still a good deal.


2. 2008 G37 coupe
Pros:
-Fast
-Sounds Nice
-Better reliability
-Excellent color display, even without Navi.

Cons:
-Gas milage, gas milage, gas milage
-Doesn't seem like a car for an enthusiast.
-Cheap interior.

What do you guys think? Agree with my assessments?

I would go with the G37.

I am considering these two also but I think I will probably make the G37 my next ride. I think it is better because of the power and it has more room. Reliability is a big ? with the Audi. I had a 2006 VW GTI that was bought back under the lemon law and it uses the same components as the TT.

Good luck

Out of the 2, I'd go G37.

Out of curiousity, have you looked into the BMW 135? I believe their warranty covers maintenance.

Sounds like you need an '08 TSX.

Did you consider the BWM 328?

But, if I was buying, rather than leasing, I would be concerned by the reliability of German cars. Some people seem to have good luck with them, and others, including drivers that are easy on their vehicles, seem to have them in the shop every 2-3 months.

The gas bill is gonna hurt with a G when gasoline reaches $6.00 a gallon. The average price in Europe is $8.70 and diesel is selling for over $11.00 per gallon in England.
