Were you in the market for a brand new golf/GTI breh? Is your civic a SI or Sport btw?
Nah I was going to buy a used one, but I went to my local Honda dealership and just bought a used civic instead. In the end, I didn't want to spend more than 8 grand, and didn't know how a used one would fair. I could finance a new one, but said screw it.

My first car was an 02' accord that I got about 8 years ago at 17, which finally gave out in August of last year

German cars>>>>>>>> :unimpressed:
i think the part about them being too expensive to fix if they do break down, is specific to german cars.

Nga ive had an Audi Q7 for a year now that would shyt all over that Lexus in most every metric and all I’ve had to replace was an accessory belt tensioner :mjlol:

Japanese cars are too linear and appliance like for me. No character, soul, fun to drive experiences found in any modern Japanese car I’ve driven not named Miata :beli:

With German cars you really have to know
A. What you are really looking at
B. Staying completely on top of maintenance with what is needed currently as well as what could be coming up due to age and mileage.

The lexus would beat the q7 when it comes to reliability.And sure audi takes the win when it comes to interior design but a standard q7 is not that much impressive.


I mean a porshe cayanne would shyt on both the q7 and the lexus. But I am just trying put my coli brethren on that lexus. But since the topic is about affordability and reliability the lexus takes the W.

Used luxury cars are cheap and reliable enough. If something goes wrong part it out and get something different

Cayenne is built on the exact same chassis as the Q7 and Touareg, for the first gen they even shared the same doors and wing mirrors. Personally for me reliability is kind of thrown out the window, I know these cars and can diagnose most problems myself and then either fix it myself or find cheap labor to tackle the exact problem I’m already aware of.
But for those wanting a Toyota with a leather interior I say go for it. It’s a mostly headache free “luxury” car experience the Japs just take everything the Germans do and try to emulate it which is cute.
Genesis is where smart buyers go if they don’t care about pedigree of the badge on their car, the equus DRIPS with every single luxury feature it’s 7 series rival has for about $40k less than the sticker price when new. I’ve been raving about that brand for a while (I personally would never own one) but it’s a really good brand Hyundai is putting out these days.

The ZF transmission in german cars are very reliable. Most of the transmission problems in those cars are the results of the mechatronic valve body in the transmission. Over time the pistons that control line pressure in the clutch packs wear out and cause transmission faults..

That's why its very important to keep up with all of the maintenance in German cars.. ALL of it.. Because a simple $500 problem will escalate to a $5000 issue..
You just lost 80% of this forum bruh:heh:

have you seen the new acura tlx?I looks good to me. Wonder how the s-type is going to preform
I just Test drove one. It’s a 4 banger but it’s well done. Acura is smoking DRUGS on that price though. That type s would be worth it if they weren’t committing murder on the price.
