    Car b/t $ 25k-32k

    Hey guys, i need your input...i want a need car between 25k and 32k $, and there are some many choices out there..i have my eyes set on a 2005 C230 Kompressor. What are your thoughts? what would you get? i really want something, that i will NOT start modifying. i am also not a fan of trucks, vans, or SUV's. opinions are appreciated. :).
    it also has to be new..

    Legacy GT.

    or wait till next year, when it gets the STi treatment...and will be a good bit faster.



    if you're basing it on looks alone, then you're a bit foolish, IMO. just go drive a 5sp GT, and come back to us about it :)

    C230 Komppressor or something similar in its class.

    Comfort, style, and performance all wrapped into one.

    C230 is not that great. Trust me. Acura TSX or Acura TL or if you can afford a Lexus IS300. I would pick any one of these over a Mercedes or Audi any day.

    Remember, the smaller Mercedes are mirror images of Chrysler vehicles.

    everyone wants a legacy..hehe

    i need a daily driver...no people hauler..got to point A to point B in class, and comfort
    IS300 is nice but my dad just bought one..so, thats out..

    i know for a fact that if i get a legacy i will do something to it..

    faisal, i would pick an audi over any other car, but the closest dealership is 2 hours away...not kool..!

    c230: i test drove the car...it has alot of torque and the interior is as stylish and as safe as the top models...really nice driving/handling/comfort.

    wy do you say its not nice?

    The Acura TL is right in your range. Much more bang for your buck than the Mercedes. More reliable, better value. Lexus really needs to get their ES300 in line with the TL to compete.

    Dude, you really sounds naive. Audis have the worst reliability problems of all the European cars next to Mercedes. Eversince, Chrysler merged with Mercedes, the cheaper Benz quality has gone down the drain. J D powers and associates did not rank these two companies very high. BMW is far better in reliability than the other two ( yet of no comparison to Lexus in terms of reliability).

    Acura TL is probably the best bang for the buck in this price range followed by Lexus IS300 and then Acura TSX. If you are not into prestigious name plates, these cars will put that big smile on your face.

    heh mercury maruader's sales bombed. Even though it was just a rebadged cruiser, it looked badass. You should be able to find them for cheap, since they didn't sell well at all.

    That's pretty cool of him. If I had a Legacy GT, I would probably not let anyone drive, lol.
