New Car
So..I never really made many posts on here, but I always read it and you people are great. As some of you may know, my 03 SMR CLS was totalled a little while ago with only 13K miles on it and now I need to buy a new car. I was thinking of buying another CLS, but the Acura dealership was asking a ridiculous price for some 01 - 03 CLS with super high miles. I test drove a few cars and im putting my please let me know what you think.
05 Acura TSX - Great handling, neat interior, love the sideview mirror turn sigs, not enough power
05 Acura TL - Nice clean and aggressive exterior styling, would like a little more torque(G35-ish would be better), options are incredible, really good price for the car overall, no side mirror turn sigs
05 Acura MDX - nice smooth ride, decent power, good options
05 Accord Cpe v6 - i was impressed that the accord was as nice as it was, but with all the options w/ v6 it was pretty pricey for the car
05 Mustang convertible- this car sucked, who makes a huge 4.0liter car with that little power, i am pretty sure the TSX had better pick-up than this piece of shit, the interior sucked, the ford ppl were rude as hell....i asked them if I could be notified when the GT came in so I could go for a test drive and they said they don't usually let people test drive it to keep low miles on it, i guess they thought i couldn't afford their little POS...the only thing I kind of liked about the car was the exterior...a little
05 G35c - this vehicle is sex on wheels....has the power and makes you feel like you can pass anything, the brakes stop you on a dime, i love the exterior styling and those stock rims are hot as hell....turn offs : the interior...they use a lot of plastics and i think the buttons and the switches on the steering wheel are a little cheap on the car.....i have been spoiled by Acura's options though, in order to get a similarlly equipped G35c, the price is like 40K, a little too much IMO for that car
05 Eclipse - nice power, i don't like the exterior, but the interior is cool
05 Mazda RX8 - i was a huge huge fan of the rx-7, i was really disappointed by this model
05 Kia Sorento - the only dealership open on sunday....
Basically I am looking for a coupe w/ v6. I have kind of narrowed it down to the TL or the G35c, as you can tell. I love th TL w/ all of its options, but it has 4 doors, I am young and only want 2 lol. I think for the money it is a great value. The G35C is sexy as hell. You push the peddal and your head goes back into the headrest, it's tranny is responsive and it has good handling. However I think it's pricing is a little ludicrous, approaching 40K I would rather have an M3.
Tomorrow I am going to test drive the GTO, I don't really like the bland Pontiac design though.
Any suggestions?

It really depends on what you're looking for...
Out of the ones you listed, I'd pick either the G35C or Mustang GT 'cause they are both RWD coupes.
If fuel ecomony is important, then the TSX is definitely a good choice.
For all around value, the TL can't be beat, but it's FWD - not that there is anything wrong with that

approaching 40k and u would rather get a m3?
a 05 E46 M3 will be at least 55k well equipped but no fully loaded. there is a big difference between 40k outta the door and 55k + tax n license.
as u mentioned.. u are young and want a fun car but the car should still have a hint of luxury then i would say G35C is the best car in the market in that price range 30k-40k
TL = nice car inside out.. great pwr, great interior/extrerior but u will get bored of it very quickly and usually when ppl get bored of their cars then they would start fix it up and TL has very little aftermarket support. plus FWD is really no fun unless the car is super light.
330 CI = nice car but i am pretty sure u can not get a well equipped 330ci for 40k outta the door. especially if u like the 330 ZHP.
V6 mustang =
IS350 = seems like a very nice car with toyota reliability.. i am pretty sure aftermarket support will be huge but NO STICK.. so if ur looking for a stick then it s no good.
