Get a low mileage used M3 ... My buddy has a 2011 with 4k miles and you can't tell anyone's been in it.

I'd choose the CTS-V but It seems like you would be happier with the M3. Have you driven any of them?

Maybe a used GTR?

No one mentioned the Jag yet? I think the new styling is great, and if you are more into Luxury, go for the XF.

But if you are more into Sporty sedans, you have to choose the M3, which is what I voted.

If you are 70% for the M3, then go get it since that's what you want. It's a great car and you can't go wrong with it. I say this even though I love my V (still).

...and you guys thought I would say "get the V!", didn't you?

I would say the Jag. My mother had an XF but traded it in for a GS460 when the warranty ran out. It was a great car and she had no problems with it. The sound system was great and it turned plenty of heads.

However, if power is what you're looking for, then I would say get the V. It's the perfect sleeper. And is there anything better than being able to say "I have the most powerful production sedan on the planet."?

i know lots of people say good things about it but i never owned an american car before and for some reason people tell me that american cars are not as reliable as imported cars but hey? i won't know unless i try it out for myself

if youre going to go to a CTS-V, i would go with the coupe, not sedan. but they both have very little road presence. IMO, the M3s are playyyyed out, unless its a retractable hardtop. The Jag XF would be my choice from the group.

If i were in that situation i would probably be looking at an S5 with all the goodies. probably a vert, since the coupe's moonroof doesnt open - that would drive me nuts.

Say no to Jaguar. I would say test drive the CTS-V and the M3 and see which you like better. I think they are both great cars.

Not really feeling for the S5 sorry I feel that for the price your paying its lack of power comparing to the rest IMO

sorry, guys.

guess it depends where youre located. considering the OP "lives inside girls panties" that could be anywhere from here to vietnam. so i figured id throw out the idea of a vert.

inner city: open top = fun
outer city: open road = fun

there could be much more opportunities for enjoyment with a drop top, rather than extra HP that you never get a chance to use. open air vs power...for this price you could get both. S5 Vert and M3 vert, Z4 seem like the ultimate playtoys in that price range.



also, i see a ton of CTS-V sedans and coupes...ppl dont turn heads for them...
