not really.... i just like luxury and when you put luxury and excellence together you get....dpaanlka said:
Price-performance wise nothing beats an Evo Cars are supposed to be fun, responsive, agile, quick... Anyway, I am not a luxury car type kind of guy. I prefer raw performance, handling, and simple interiors where when I am driving I don't have to even look at the dash board to change a radio station or adjust climate control, sometimes simple is just better... These days some cars look like spaceships on the inside, so much unnecessary buttons and clutter...

Yeah... 30 grand for an ultra cheap economy car with a high output turbo and springs. Thats an immense waste of money. You'll learn one day to desire a refined car, not just a fast car. You'll want a car designed from the ground up for performance, not just a modified economy car.

You really never have driven a BMW have you?

Alright, maybe this is a dumb question but what are the up/down sides of leasing a car? How does this compare to buying one (and making payments of course)?

The most obvious one is you get to keep it...
& that is also the only reason I know..haha.
Oh, and if you drive too many miles a year you don't have to pay.
i.e.: when you get a lease on a car you can drive 12,000 a year...
& if you drive 12,001 then you pay a fee.
if you own it then you can drive all you want.

Actually I never drove the 7 series but I did drive the 3 and 5 series and all in all from drivers perspective (I am an automotive enthusiast), none of them had the handling, acceleration, nor better grip of the road than an Evo IX, not even close. That car is like a glue, sticking to the road.
And although it is based upon an economy car frame it definately doesn't drive like one. I know different people have different tastes, and my taste if for rally bred, raw performance, great handling cars. I don't need any navigation systems nor dual digital climate controls. And reliability/quality wise Germans are not as good as they used to be.
And please don't bring VW GTi to the discussion board. That car can't compete with EVO nor STI. Although their commercials are top totch.
My firm represents BMW here in our area and trust me, we don;t get any complaints from the BMW 7 series owners but we get all sorts of s**t from the 3 series owners and an occasional complaint about the Z4.

Notice a resemblance
Pretty much any of the new cars by Bangle I don't like.
I would love to get a 2005 M3 Convertible, but past that, the rest of the lineup just looks like an american car.
I would much rather have the Audi S8 then any 7 series.
