It has to be sedan, and AWD. cause of the snow, and I want her to never get stuck, anywhere.

So far were considering:

325xi
or
a guy from MB said C-class is coming in AWD..is this true?..he never said it to me, he said it to my mom..was he talking about the E-class?

anyone know any other good AWD sedans?

Its gotta have a presitige name, no flames, but its got to be that.

Her price range is 34-38u.s.

I think the 325xi is best for her...opinions?

She left the decision up to me, since she knows nothing about cars.

her last car was a POS ML 320

 

2002 911TT. I think those are only 30k or os

 

oh, and add the A4 to the list too..

 

BTW, were trying to keep it more towards 35k...

 

No SUVs?

 

her last car was a ML320..she wants to get away from that, too big for her, plus shes always on the fucking phone, that pisses me off..so i want her in something she can handle, even if shes gonna be on her cell..

i think the 325xi is her best bet...

its 28k base..say 33k loaded with negotiating...

its cheaper than her budget, and a very well made car.

 

you might being thinking of insurance....

 

The audi a4 quattro is a nice ride.

 

jaguar x type is not bad..or legacy...or impreza

 

hey amir

we might be getting the 3.0 awd A4. pretty much the same price as the 325xi

ive never heard of the c class coming in awd. check the boards

the 3 series is nice...but are a little too common around here. im sick of it. (the m3 is the exception)

both bmw and audi pay for all maintenance for 4 years. thats pretty wild

 

Yo definately Audi A4 3.0. that shit is pimp...

my mom has a a6 4.2 and with winter tires that thing is a tank

 

Don't forget the Volvo S60 2.4T AWD...starts at 33k. Sporty car, and very safe too.

 

How about the X-type. It's AWD!

 

The MB C Class will have 4-matic option this fall
the E Class is a great car in a 4-matic, i don't know how much you are looking to spend, BTW the new M Class is night and day from the originals, - i like the ML500 most of them go for 49,000 and they fly, feels alot stronger than the ML430

 

Just get her the MDX....She will love it... It handles like a nice car. The BEST SUV out there

BTW, 03 MDX will get a 3.8 L engine with 280+ HP so expect 0-60 will go down to 7.5 or less, if MDX gets a Type-S with 300+ HP it might be as fast as the your CLS

Anways, It seems Safdari is very rich family indeed. Do you own an oil field? just kidding...

Best luck for you bro, just stay away from the double BB....

 

I vote either A4 Quattro or 325xi.

 

My buddy just got the AWD Volvo....that car is awsome. It is safe, reliabiable and looks real sporty. That gets my vote.

 

woww thanks for all the feedback,

I'm gonna go testdrive all those cars for her today.

3.0 A4

325xi

S60 is good too, but my mom hates Volvo's, the look. But she still thinks their boxy looking..and she doesnt like them

X-Type..I usually take their cars to service for them all the time, I dont wanna spend lots of hours on the X-type..its american made, dont want any problems...but will check out anyways.


no suvs, last car was a suv, i dont want her in a suv anyways, its too big for her.

thanks for all the unput everyone.

 

look at a Passat Syncro too, same basic chassis as A4 & quattro system

 

lemme juss say that i love the E class in 4matic...

let's just say that its pretty damn hard to slip these things

the price is kinda steep, but this thing can hold it's own

 

my vote's for the S60....Volvo has definitely gone away from the boxy look....the shape of the S60 is really sleek and the interior is awesome...not to mention its sound system

 

passat 4-motion
or the volvo s60 awd
personaly i like the volvo. Too bad they dont have the 247 hp engine with AWD.

 

Lancer Evo VII
-AWD
-GOOD Breaks. (brembo)
- +250hp

this should do it for under 32k

 

my moms going to the Audi dealership tomorrow



cant go wrong with their 3.9%

 

I'm thinking BMW.....

 

A6 is much better car for not much more. Definitely worth it. $36-37.

 

nah, shes going with the 1.8T A4, so she can get every option they have...

plus gas is good, etc..

 

which car is a better AWD performer?

325xi
or
02, A4 1.8t

??

 

how about a saab 9-5 aero, (i know it's not AWD) . My mom has one and it actually handles pretty well in the snow.
