hey, i did say that already
but yeah, that, or a Scion tC
There's no such thing.![]()
My neighbor has a BMW 330xi and she loves it. I think they are very stylish on the outisde, but very bland inside. They have very high repair costs...
i vote for Toyota. and i vote for a scion tC. quick and reliable car for that price
The scions may be reliable, but I can tell you they are CRAP!
I have an XB and it rattle and squeeks it has almost no power ans **** constantly breaks off in my hand.
It only has 40K on it!
I seem to have missed where he said he only wants a german car. Sorry, but for $20k you're going to be taking on a maintenance nightmare. The cheaper germans are NOT built as well as the expensive ones.
On the other hand, my weekend toy, a tC with factory supercharger, which cost me $20.5k out the door with the supercharger, is GREAT. It is fast, it looks sporty and agressive, with a short throw shifter it drives GREAT. That's my choice in that price range. I hate the styling of the MKV and I had a GTI AND a GLI and BOTH had horrific electrical problems and the GTI (a 2005 model) caught fire on a highway. Never again will I go near a VW.
Alright, so my current car, a 99 Mercedes ML320 with 185k miles isn't doing so well lately, so it's getting close to time to replace it. I'm looking to spend about 20k. I've been looking at a 2003 3 series, and a GTI MKV. Any other suggestions for a quick, reliable vehicle? Thanks
If you're in the Northeast Snowbelt / rainy, wet springtime part of the land, Subaru Legacy sedan, or Outback Wagon. Half the state of Vermont can't be wrong.
Aren't Hondas like the most stolen vehicle?

the tC isn't the same as the xB. the tC has 160 horsepower. not 105 like the xB. my girlfriend has a tC with 40,000 miles, and it's pretty quick. no real issues.
dang, i wasn't aware of a supercharger for the tC. how much horsepower does it add? i might have to think about adding this to my girl's tC later on down the road
god I hate all the subarus up here in vermont. Everyone drives them like they are completely infallible in bad weather, and that's not true. You wouldn't BELIEVE the wrecks I go to because people think 4 wheel drive equals road glue.
I wish people would buy regular cars and learn to drive them instead of buying a subaru because they "need 4wd" to get down the driveway and to the natural foods store.
