Besides the grill it looks great IMO. With an aftermarket grill, it should look pretty sweet!

if you want maintnence issues out the ass, buy the audi.

if you want a completley underpowered car, buy the 325.

the g35 is nice, but if hes got a 1k down payment... i dont think thats quite what hes looking for. it seems to me hes more in the neighborhood for a 3-5k car.

id say a lexus sc400 if you can tolerate driving automatic.

i have to agree with blackack about yota' trucks. cant kill em

i almost bought one when i was shopping and then bought my CL. hell i was about to put a down payment on it, but it had 125k miles and was auto-tragic (as all of them are in the u.s.) and the CL had 53k and was 5 speed, so it won me over lol.

If i bought one (which i plan on doing) ill be importing the manual swap from the JDM Soarer. one of my all time favorite cars.

if you maintain your car, the A4 is not a problem. It's not a honda that you can drive for a year with a problem. It need regular check ups but it's worth it.

a 325 is the best driving, handling and responsive small sedan. bar none. go drive one and see how FWD, 4 cylinder acura feels like after.

The sc300 came with a 5 speed. The inline 6 runs forever too. Good luck finding one though, they're pretty rare and people usually want a fortune if you come across one. I was looking for one for a while before I ended up gettin the cl.

I was in the market for a 3 series once and I've gotta say the 328i is a much better car than 325
