Help w/ Car purchase

what would u say would be a nice car for a 5'9 asian chick? my cousin is about 25 or 26 and today she was buggin on what car she should get next. her lease on her 06 a4 is up in september. she has such a weird variety of cars in mind. she said she want either a tt, 350z, or a g37. and she even said s4. -_- i actually suggest the is250 and shes says she just doesnt like it for some reason. she doesnt know much about cars. she might even consider extending her lease or w/e cuss she says she likes her audi. i really think the is250 is really more practical to her than the other cars she wanted. what do u guys think?

You arent giving us much to work with here.

If she likes her A4 that much then just have her get the new 2009 A4.

I tested the is250 when looking at the TL. Daaaaaamn is that thing slow. One test drive took it right out of the competition even though I like the looks of it better than any of the others I considered.

The list of cars you mention really isn't that unusual, go test driving with her, take a look at the new audi and the infiniti - see which she likes best and that should answer the question. The 350z, while I like the car, may not be the best choice if she is used to a car with 4 seats, and is essentially a smaller G37. Who cares if you both have the same car, my brother and I have the same car, I thought it would be ghey, but its no problem at all, in fact its kind of cool.

typical list of cars for an asian chick.

how much is she willing to spend? does she want to lease again or buy?

sounds like she wants a "luxury" brand (once again, typical for an asian girl).

Of the cars she listed 350z - affordable and sporty. TT is nice, but its $45k with 3.2 Quattro (Dsg if she cant drive stick). Unless she doesn't mind have a 2.0t non Quattro.

G37 is ok - I still feel like the G35s look better.

And honestly, I'd tell her to get the new S4 as well; its a huge improvement over the current gen.

We need to see her face first to pick the most suitable car for her.

asian chick that doesn't want a BMW!?
I still say 328i convertible for So.Cal. I assume it'll be another lease, so reliability doesn't matter all that much. and that BMW badge seems to mean a lot. Audi badges are gaining a lot of popularity though, so a TT or A5 would look pretty good too.



and, yes pictures would definitely help.

Just keep her away from the Mercedes Benz and visors.

Asian women drivers wearing visors + Mercedes Benz = Death to all other drivers on the road. :wink:

Tell her to get the A5 with the new 2.0 TFSI motor that was recently announced....

What are her needs and wants for the car? That should dictate what she should really be looking at IMO.

I love korean girls that have their OWN car

The eos looks a little funny, but at least I don't see very many of them on the road, and it's a pretty chick car.
