my friend is looking for a car that is 35000 and under. He wants a car that can handle well in the winter and that will get the chicks. Any suggestions? I was thinking of either an A4 or a 325xi. What do you guys think?

There are some car which could satisfy your requirements, such as the Audi A4, any other car from its group such as the VW passat, the Skoda Octavia, the jag X-Type, the BMW, the Volvo S60, the subaru legacy.....If i had to buy a car from this list, it wouldnt be an easy decision....probably my decision would go for the jag, once its said that its the most agile car in its category, although im quite a big fan of Volvo

Alas the 4motion Passat is not sold in the USA, nor the Octavia. X-Type is a good alternative suggestion, but I'd go for an Evo VIII and spend the remaining $5k on mods if it was me and I had to buy new, otherwise I'd get a used S4 quattro (new shape, V8 ) if the choice is Audi or BMW only.

Get'm an A4 Quattro with a nice engine ;)
The beemer will spin out...
Not the xi .... that has AWD.
The Audis and BMWs are elegant enough to impress someone. The Evos and STis would be more raucous but less appealing to women... Depends on the women
Or buy a used 99 A8 - make the chicks think he is a rich dude ...

We were quite disappointed with the G35.
Way overpriced and under performing. But different strokes for different folks I guess. :)

I'd shoot for a very clean bi-turbo S4 if he's okay with a slightly used car. Not necessarily a girl-getter, but it's safe and can be made to kick the snot out of 99% of the stuff on the road.

Pics coming soon lol. Tomorrow I'll get it. I saw it today and I will pay for it tomorrow. As to what money I will use to buy food I dont know. Ensurance for me gonna be 400$ a month. Never had ensurance, never had a car in the US. That SUCKS

I take you are living off of a trust fund.
Paying $400 a month for insurance on a single car is such poor prioritization of expenditure it could only be done by the idle rich,... :P

$400 per month :shock: That's like my loan payment.
Can you co-share the car with your dad/mom or someone else to bring the rates down?

go with the A4, Audi's are very well built and last a long time, by no means are they ugly cars either. My cousin in Paris owns an A6, very fast with the 6 speed.

I wish I could, but parents live in South America. I have no family in the US. I am seriously considering getting liability. If I get the deductibles high and not buy the protection for health (the one where if I hurt someone I'd have to pay for their medical stuff) I can get it as low as 313$
RC45 - I am not that rich, its just that I love cars too damn much. To get this car, I had to study my ass of and get a 3.75 GPA. I am going to work as a Fitness instructur (hopefully) to help pay off the ensurance. I am getting this car as my advanced graduation present. This is the last thing I will ever get from my parents... so no, I'm not a rich kid who cares less about money.

Well I love the M3 to death. Its not a bad alternative, only problem being that I wont be getting a car in a LONG time. After a lot of thinking, I decided that I should go with a new car. If I were given to choose betwen driving an M3 or driving a G35, I would definitelly choose the M3. But to own a new car vs get a used one, I just have to go with the new one.
Put it this way: I rather have a one night stand with a supermodel than with a good loking virgin, but I much rather marry a good looking virgin instead of marrying Paris Hilton.

It depend on the girls, for example if a certain girl likes and know about cars, like Vicki Butler Henderson or Jodie Kidd, she´ll adore the STI and the mitsu as much as ourselves
