So my dad has had some troubles with his 5 series and I think he wants something new. He asked me to rank the S5, Jag XF, Acura RL, and GS350.

I obviously think he should get the S5, and ranked the XF second, then GS, then RL.

Is there any other car I should suggest? I think he's willing to spend around 60k




some car pr0n for you:

 

I'm also recommending the Cayman S and CTS-V..

 

How much does a Z06 run? I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

wow, I didn't think the battery issues became serious to a point where he'd want to sell it. What did the dealer say? If he doesn't need the two extra doors, my choice of the bunch will be the S5 as it's the best looking in my opinion.

 

I dunno if he's even taken it in yet. He's the type of person who would decide to trade it in before he even solves the problem

 

~70k

 

S5 hands down. Besides, it looks better than the Z06 anyway.

 

s5 and if not..yes the jag

 

all are very nice cars. if i could drop 60k id be all over the s5

 

M3 sedan!

 

Not sure if he wants to go back to BMW. I suggested an M roadster for him too because he used to have a Z3 that he loved, but we sold for personal reasons.

 

Does he want to only buy new?

 

I like the S5. I do like 4 doors though.

 

Blasphemy!

 

You're one to talk!

Wait, you did sell the bimmer right? Now I don't remember.

EDIT: just saw the sig,

 

^^^ All this time I thought you sold the bimmer. I'm still that.

 

Yeah, he has an ego thing about buying a used car. I'm trying to convince him to get over that, and move toward a Cayman S

 

It would be a tough call for me between the S5 and XF. I love the S5's looks, but 4 doors are much better. The XF is very sexy in person.

For $60K, the CTS-V would be my first choice.

 

There's no need for him to have 4 doors. It's only him and my mom, and me when I go home to visit, and my mom has a Forester so that takes care of the 4 doors issue

 

the s5 is the best choice for him imo. the jaguar is almos on the same level as the s5 imho. My friend just purchased a new one and the fit and finish and ride quality is amazing. I really do recommend ur dad go test drive one if the s5 is not his cup of tea

 

Then S5, it is.

 

If he doesn't need the extra space go for S5

 

I saw a black S5 with the LEDs on while I was on a bike ride..... and it was SEX.

 

Get a E Class Mercedes.

 

Between those, S5 all the way.

 

Audi S6 with the 435hp V-10

Though I would get a used one because the depreciation on it is horrific.

 

Did he even testdrive any of these cars? Looks aside, the handling and performance of these cars are disparate as night and day. If he needs AWD, useable back seats, and doesn't mind a heavy ride then s5. If he places a higher premium on fun-to-drive then cayman s or lotus elise.

Or he should get over his gripes about a used car and go with a 05 CPO 997 which can be had for low 40s in this economy or 997s for 50s

 

S5 ftmfw!!!

 

I really need to go and drive one of these new Porsches....


Any of you bastards wanna let me borrow your 335i? I'll wear a suit with a tie and everything, and tell them I wanna trade it in.

 

The S5 is nice....but that Jag is

 

IONO costco, you can't heel-toe with a PDK haha. I was getting my annual serivce last month at the dealership and 90% of the 997.2s were PDK! Definitely have to get sports chrono so you can do launch control which is sooo sick. If you don't mind 3 pedals and make it out to HI, hit me up and show me some heel-toe skills.

 

Thanks for the offer, but that's one expensive test drive I just remembered that heel toe thread now.... heh

I think the reason why I'm pretty good at it is because its hard to modulate with my car's poor pedal placement

 

i know your dad came from a bmw but how about the e92 335i? from what ive heard its still more fun to drive than the s5? (i might be biased since i own a e90 too haha)

 

The s5 is way over priced buy an m3 coupe and be done with it. The m3 is often imitated, however some have come close it has never been duplicated

 

60k can buy you a whole lotta car new/used. With that said I'd go with the S5.

 

S5!!!

 

S5 or M3 for sure.

 

He says to me:
S5 of XJ, either would be cool. Maybe some day I'll bring his car to a Porsche dealership and get myself a test drive of a 911

 

Wait for the TVS Supercharged RS4?

 

He likes teh Jag
