Porsche Replacement

Tim2189 · 10-20-2008, 09:47 PM

So tomorrow im taking my E92 into service and my dad will be coming with me to test drive a couple cars since he totaled his porsche. He wants to test drive the E92 335i and the audi S5.....any other suggestions on what else is in range?

Greeney · 10-20-2008, 09:55 PM

The 09 S5 is quite nice. They added a few things such as Drive Select which make the car enjoyable. Does he want a four place Coupé?

mPlasticDesign · 10-20-2008, 09:55 PM

Oooooo S5>335i, sorry bimmer loyalists but I'll take that v8 over FI. The car looks really nice too. However, if you can live with a modestly equipped M3 like mine you're in the S5 range already. M3>>S5

JMD0977 · 10-20-2008, 09:57 PM

M3

Tim2189 · 10-20-2008, 09:58 PM

yeah he wants a 4 seater 2 door
he really likes how my E92 drives so thats y he thought of the 335 but i think it will be to small for him

ZJP · 10-20-2008, 09:58 PM

Definitely the M3

Krueger///M3 · 10-20-2008, 10:19 PM

M3 or another Cayman S.

Diamond Skyline · 10-20-2008, 10:42 PM

M3 coupe (pure sex)

GTR (jdm power house)

911 carrera S (cayman looks better, carrera drives better)

Audi S5 (if you want looks)

AtoB · 10-20-2008, 10:46 PM

an M3 or leftover Z4m coupe.

z4m to small for him

he wasnt impressed with the 911's and doesn't wanna wait for the redesigned 2010 cayman's

josephr25 · 10-20-2008, 10:59 PM

Will he be willing to look at the 370Z? It would be a nice Cayman alternative.

Tim2189 · 10-20-2008, 11:07 PM

hes more into the german makes, we had a bad experience with nissans so hes looking for somethin like a benz bmw audi

josephr25 · 10-20-2008, 11:17 PM

You can't really go wrong w/ an S5 or an M3, although the weight and MPG will leave more to be desired. Personally I would go for the S5 just because BMWs are all over SoCal like a plague.

Or if your dad doesn't want the "me too" German car - Lotus Evora or Noble M400... just save up a little more money

Have him check out the 650i. Fast, comfortable, 4-seater, coupe. Nt as nimble as the Cayman was, but quite nice when you're pressing on.

M3 over the 650i....IMHO it's just too big and flashy....I mean seriously, why not tell him to get a slightly used E60 M5?

they're in the m3 price range, i.e. your dad's range!

I know you wanted a 2 door 4 seater, but how can you pass up an M5??

Deda · 10-21-2008, 03:33 AM

nissan GT-R!

Tim2189 · 10-21-2008, 09:18 AM

alright well weve decided on test driving 3 cars today...the 550i, M3 and the M5

well c what happens

Tim2189 · 10-21-2008, 08:53 PM

well after test driving the 550, 335, X6, 650, mb S550 and the lexus ls460...he has chosen the LS460 so now were shopping around for the right combo
