Keeping the FJ. Love it, Love it, Love it.

Looking at getting a "sedan". Looking to spend in high 30's.
Want awd, 4 doors, performance.

Top Choices:
1) 2008 Subaru WRX STI with BBS Wheels.
2) 2008 Infiniti G35x with Sport Pkg.
3) 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 4matic Sport
4) 2007 BMW 328xi

I've really fallen for the Subie...someone talk me out of it...can a 50 year drive a WRX STI and not look foolish?

Thanks.

subaru is not what it use to be. heard a lot of down on them. i tried to test drive their biggest vehicle. and could not get in it. they are for small people. thats for sure..

BMW - The Ultimate Driving Machine.

You asked, that's my opinion.

I like the Infiniti & BMW.

You might check your employer, Nissan has a Nissan/Infiniti Vehicle Purchase Program. Discounts are always good.

I would go with the Infiniti.

my 2 cents.

I would hold out for the Dodge Challenger if I was in that demographic

it's not awd (I think) but it's a BOSS ride.

christianmotox · 12-18-2007, 09:45 AM

If i had that kind of money i would defenetly go with the Infinity, because you will get the power as well as the luxury....

good luck with you're decision.

I dig the G35 in that group. Its what I plan on getting when the FJ is paid off. Unless Dodge does a killer job on the Challenger, or Chevy on the Camaro and still manages to still be priced competitively.

sti=suspension is a little too stiff for old folks like us
g35=i cant drive this without staring and drooling at the coupe
c300=makes you look too old
328xi=

We have the BMW, and although it is a great ride, when you are used to getting in and out of the FJ, it's a long drop down into the drivers seat, as well as a pain (with my 54 year old knees) to get out. Just something to think about. The heated seats are great!
