New car ideas? Audi A4?

[Bouncer]

The Acura lease is up in a couple months so it's time to start thinking about what's next. Budget is around 40k, don't want to go much higher then that.

I really like the new audi A4. (Cant afford the S4) :(

With the budget in mind, is their anything you think would be better then the A4? I don't want a coupe or a truck so leave those out please. 4 door sporty looking sedan is where I'm at.

Looks good! Bouncer, have you looked at the Caddy ATS? I've been meaning to go check it out. Don't want to drop $30-35K for it at this time, but the thought is intruiging. I read an article about its design and weight balance and it sure sounded like it would handle great.

I guess I am one of the few who doesn't like caddies. I understand the new ones are very nice and cars like the cts-v's are nuclear bombs under the hood. But I cant get past the look. Its not me.

I like the look of the A5 much better. Not sure the price tag. $40ish?

Maintanence record is awful... Not great on gas but awsome car.

There are a lot of Audis around where I live. They are handsome looking cars. High end cars are great to look at and probably fun to drive. I tend to spend what money I have on other things though.

Never leased a car myself. Most cars I've owned and I keep them for 10 years or so. My Mazda may be around for another 10 years, unless it starts becoming a maintenance problem. It has 113,000 miles and runs like it is brand new.

Just for fun, I like Fiat. Only issue is that I live on a steep hill. Cars with tiny engines creep up this hill. I've seen a number of them on the road though.

SUV's seem to be very popular around here. It is a family oriented suburb, so that probably explains why that is. Most of them are too big.

No coupes dumbass. :slap: :grin:

A4 Quattro ftw. :) Or Q5 since you have couple of dogs.

Cant stand bimmers so no bmw. C class is changing body style so the new one won't be out before your lease is out and the new one is not that good looking.

You already have an acura so no acura.

And as far as the other cars go I don't like anything Japanese so they are out. Yes mazda looks good by imo their 6 model is under powered.

And as far as the American cars excep jeep grand Cherokee I'd only do ford. In your case fusion, escape with a bigger engine and the edge.

I thnk they looked real nice I checked them out before i bought the CTS V. they are just to everyday for me though I need to be the only dad picking up his kid in a CTS V not like everyone else in there A4s. I looked at the R5 super cool but 2 doors and I like 4 door sedans for some reason.

if that car had a better engine in it Id be all over it. never classy looking IMO

330d msport coupe bmw

[ROCKETW19]

330 to small of a car you need mid sized at the smallest. My CTS V is midsized and a bit small.

[Bouncer]

I don't love the look of BMW's these days either.

[Mr I]

I.tell ya, take some test drives, the driving experience of a bmw is like no other
