which one would u prefer and why?
2005 NISSAN 350Z Z33
 I would get the 330 because its more practical, but you really cant lose with either one.
OR
2003 BMW 330Ci E46

| Jastic: Both cars are made of win, but I would take the 350z over the Bimmer because it is much lighter. I can not tell you how much I love a car that handles like no other. Modifying a boat like the Bimmer to handle like the 350z takes a lot. |

Are you serious? They are monstrosities. |
Yes, they typify everything that is wrong with the automotive industry. Cars like this should never have been manufactured for the general public.

i feel safe and can see miles ahead? i dunno. cars like that are pure luxury. trust me, if u sat in one for a car trip or even just drove one, i'm sure you'd think "damn". |
Luxury? There is nothing luxury about trucks.

well i would definitely buy one if i had a jet ski or boat to haul and also if i had kids cuz if i get in an accident in one of those, the chances of getting hurt are a lot slimmer than if i was driving around an audi or honda or whatever. |
Not true.
SUVs roll more easily due to a higher centre of gravity, they take longer to come to a stop, and they handle like boats, as gezhumteufel so perfectly phrased it.
Chances are, if you're driving in a decent sedan, you won't even have the accident that an SUV is supposedly protects you better in. |

Well Cayenne's and X5's are praised for their handling that is said to be as good as any other saloon car.
But then again you might as well go for this one. The BMW X6. At first i though that the car was useless and ugly, but after driving it for a bit...OMG :eyes: The handling, the comfort, this is now, and i never thougt i would say this of a 4x4, one of my favourite BMW's. Just look at this, its wonderful.
Now if i had some 80.000EUR to spare, i would seriously go for this. |

the 300xi of that vintage stonks around an autox track tho, the 4wd drive keeps it near the m3 of that vintage and equal to the previous version.
but yeah, the z would be a little quicker, if not nicer| |

Any other? WRX? R32? A3? Lancer? No.
Regardless of safety of the occupants, there is a variety of reasons why SUVs/4WDs should not be on the road, not least of all the safety of those not driving them, so it's a moot point anyway.

While I hate SUVs (could you tell?) the engine in this thing makes me wet. It's a 6L, twin-turbo V8. :crazy:
However, I think BMW's styling has really taken a turn for the worse in the past 3 years. They have put out some truly ugly cars in the past 18 months in particular, and this one is no exception. That's all personal opinion though. |

I think the new m3 and m5 are good looking cars. The rest not so much. |

Hi,
This is jee,In fact, people across the globe are talking about the new Roadster, which also gets the equivalent of 135 mpg (driving the Roadster costs about one cent per mile). With that in mind, we have honored it as this year’s "new car that best lived up to the hype" — one of several awards in our roundup of this year’s best vehicles overall.

The R32 and the A3 don't really belong there since they are hatchbacks and thus much smaller, and WRX's and EVO's aren't really that common cars around here, on the other hand we have BMW 5 series a plenty, and i know that even a basic a BMW 5 series handles pretty damn well, better than most smaller cars in fact and an x5 is praised because despite its size and weight it handles almost as well as a regular 5 series. In fact im willing to bet that unless we were on a really really tight autox circuit an x5 would outhandle my small fiat punto which is a very nimble car. So these big german SUV's aren't really all that wrong, they are nimble enough to evade potential disasters while providing excellent comfort and safety (i have been in the new s class, the 7 series and the x6 and i must admit that i was surprised to find that out of the three the most comfortable car to drive was the x6).
I would love to write more on the point but im just too damn tired. It seems that if i dont sleep for oh about 51 hours now i cant really form a coherent thought in my head. Halfway trough writing this i forgot waht i was writing about. |
