What should I purchase. This VS This.
Hey, I'm looking at buying a used car. What would be the best purchase below?
Based on speed, tuning ability, respect, safety and comfortability since I'll drive a lot, etc. - Mercedes Benz C32 AMG - Mercedes Benz C55 AMG - (2001-2006) BMW M3 - Porsche Carrera 911 - Dodge Charger SRT-8 - (2004-2007) Cadillac CTS-V I do live in the Mid West & there's always some sort of bad weather, whether it's rain - thunderstorms or bad snow. I will need to use this car year-round so please take that into consideration when helping give me advice on which to choose. Please explain which would be the best choice, Thank you!! |

Re: What should I purchase. This VS This.
Well, first off, nothing without AWD will do well in the typical crappy Midwest winters. If you're considering driving year round, I'd buy something cheaper that can become your "winter beater" when you can afford to buy the car of your dreams for nice weather. My $.02

If you don't mind getting something not made by a "luxury" automaker, you could consider the Subaru WRX or even the STi variation. Both are AWD and fairly sizable.

If you're committed to all-wheel drive, it would be the 911 C4. However, buy winter tires and have them mounted on steel wheels to use during winter months. Good luck.

Re: What should I purchase. This VS This.
A former colleague of mine has a Porsche Cayenne, which comes with AWD and he absolutely loves it. I'm not sure where in Illinois you are (I'm in Champaign, myself), but when it snows, you may enjoy the higher-sitting ride as well.
Going off the list you provided, I like the M3 out of all of them.
