Hi,

i'm planning to get a new car soon.

some of my choices are the evo, or s4. My sister has a 335xi already, so i don't want the same car as she does. In terms of Affordability and just pure awesomeness what cars would you recommend?

Why i like the evo:

All wheel drive
Easy to Tune,
I like the history of the car,
(haven't test driven one yet, but if i am, most likely getting a MR because my sister will drive it too.)

What i don't like about it:
issues with rattling and "bad interior"

why i like the audi:

Gets chicks,
as fast as the above choice and 335,
AWD,
good warranty for the first 4 years.( i believe it's the same as BMW)

What i don't like about it:
Will rape my parent's wallet, (don't want to be too spoiled. plus i probably wont be able to afford much mods until later on)


In the future i will track the car, and tune it after the warranty is done, or almost useless. Would like to keep it cheaper than the S5.

Mostly worried about the price of the car and maintenance. Car will be bought for sure, but I just want to make sure i get the right car because i will be using it for a while.

Thanks in advance.

That's a hugeee range man...

get a SH-AWD TL

It's a Honda, so it dosen't die
It's a Honda, so after warranty the car won't cost an arm, leg, foot, and perhaps a penis to keep up.

It's a luxury vehicle, but not up to the "prestige" of a beemer or a BMW to make you seem spoiled by friends
3.7L V6 hauls ass when the VTAK kicks in, yo
Very "techy" car


Some V6 accord mods will fit, if not slight modification to the modification should fit.
(yo dawg, I heard you like mods so I put a mod in your mod so you can mod while you mod)


Or you can buy a fleet of Nissan Versas (~12k each), and then play car soccer with them.

my family has two hondas and one bmw.

hondas kick ass, but i believe i should move on.

(had a 2000 accord before we sold it to get a van.)

i would get evo hands down,

but my father believes its a "racing car" which is true.. so i need some alternatives

will your parents only buy you a brand new car? can you buy used?
and you might as well take the 30K off the bottom end, cause there's obviously no way you're gonna buy honda accord..

sekin67835
09-27-2010, 12:44 AM
i don't think i can buy a used unless it has no accidents. Also, it can not look like a race car to an asian parent. It's ironic they would buy my sister a 335, Arguably the same speed as a evo, and not let me buy it. And it's also because we have a old outlander which chugs gas like no tomorrow hence discouraging him with the evo. (IE he thinks mitsubishi sucks)

If you have a big family then you should buy a awd van.

geeknerd
09-27-2010, 01:11 AM
17L-20L?? holy shit.. he must drive really bad?
i have the g35 and i get 14L/100km. and i live on Westwood plateau so i go up a fucking mountain at least once a day. 3.5L and 3.7L makes 3-6litre difference? (not sure)
my 335i also averages 14L/100km.
u and my family sound alike. i wanted the a lancer but they didnt approve of mitsu. already had a 335i cab. and they wanted AWD and something that can be bought out and used later. g35x seemed to be the perfect choice.
but sometimes i do feel that g35x lacks fun driving factor. but always good luxury feel.

09-27-2010, 01:13 AM
as i said before we have a van. although its not in the best shape it works and still functions like it's new. the reason i'm getting a new car is because i got into university. its a family encouragement and reward. also, my father is rarely in vancouver so the most seats i need is 5. (i have 4 siblings including myself). so maybe a coupe with two back seats is appropriate too
i think the
haha he goes to sfu and he lives on the west side. on the bimmer i get 13.5l/100km until my sister drives it up to 14.5. isnt the g35 a rwd?? the reason i dont like the 335 id because it feels like a machine. probably the same feeling when youre in a bnr35. i like a more fun car, yet safe so when i track it i wont die doing stupid shit.

Get a used M5. I'm sure you can find one with no accidents, it fits all of your criteria.

also, the S5 and S4 are very, very different.. I'm not sure how many chicks you'll pick up in an S4..

09-27-2010, 01:23 AM
love the jaguar for its platform, but hating this x series because it looks like a miata lol (personally preference. does resemble an aston martin in a way)

gas isnt much a problem if i can go around 350-500km. i dont like using too much of my parents money before i can sustain sustain it myself if i suddenly want an more independent life.

Ps was kidding about the getting chick part. That doesn't concern me.

m5 maint cost probably high...
g35 is sedan model of 08. there is X version. which is what i have
but now, sedan or coupe, both g37 and they come with X versions. iirc
but i feel that g37 lacks in looks.
if ur going to be driving with people in the backseat alot, i suggest a sedan.

really grinds my gears when people seat in the back seat of the 335. dunno if coupe is same as cabrio. but the seats always gets adjusted, the shoe marks they make when they exit/enter.

i think AWD is overrated for most parts of vancouver. i used to drive a 325i up and down the plateau on all seasons no problem(had to turn off DSC though :) ). i bought winters for the 335 last year but it snowed once? so i didnt get to test it out. hopefully this year i will be able to. right tires will do.

Why don't you get a stable job make your own money then buy your own car. It's much more rewarding to know you pay for your own car rather then handed one.

i personally believe having a car rewarded, no matter what the price is doesn't have to do with being spoiled. Just because your family values, and brings you up in the way where reward for motivation doesn't mean that i don't like earning my own money. It isn't my fault that my parents are more well off than yours. They worked their ass off for what they have become this day. I'm pretty sure you don't won't be able to work for 12 hours a day, while being on a 300k loan back in 1990. I appreciate what they did for us, and having 3 siblings makes it even harder for them. Because they are working alot, they have never looked over us. Imagine you havent no one to spank your ass every day. Do you think you will naturally study to just make it to univerisity, or would you be those high school drop outs? Obviously, i would like to go out and earn my own money for a car, but my parents believe in study over job atm. Unless it's co-op.

btw i did have a job for two years in school. So i know what the value of money is.

i could ask them for a 100k car if i wanted to. but I don't. That's just taking it to full advantage.

But the feeling of getting the cars is different then something given to you. You earned it rather then been given. That's the difference.

Not another one of these pointless arguements.

To blend in with the ubc/sfu asian crowd = 3 coupe/c-class in white.
Since your budget is pretty high, i'd say m3 sedan. That will get you chicks and friends. Lol.

I had a friend that drives a $170k cayenne turbo bough from his parents but can't drive it because he can't afford $120 tank of gas. Lmao. So make sure your parents cover for your gas bill too.

Oh, and don't even think about getting a part time job and make money to pay for gas and maintaince. Because asian parents think that will only drag down your marks and they can shower you with money anyways. Lol

Our families are different, and yes i'm not proficient with english so bear with me. First, if i went to BCIT, my parents would litterally disown me. Even if i wanted to go. I understand that earning something by yourself is very rewarding, especially when it's this much money. The thing is, what is money to different classes of people? To many lower income families, 30k is a lot. This is the sum they dream of. To higher income families, 30k is chump change. If i were you, i would take that money and try to invest it. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for those who are actually suggesting what car i should be interested in, instead of bashing me for having money/ being spoiled.

edit*

For the university question:

Not everyone is as smart as they wanted to be. If university was so easy, than why isn't everyone in it? It might not be a challenge for you, but it is for many others. Just because you have no difficulties with it doesn't mean others don't

So? You're not going to University? And it's really not all that hard, whatever you take simply requires you put the time into it.

And I've suddenly lost alot of respect for you in that last post... Earn it yourself

For example, I needed two new tires for my truck which cost me $500... My parents offered to help me out as I only work 2 days a week and fill my truck up every 4 days and have a drinking habit. I told them thanks, but no it's my truck i'll buy the tires.

I know that you prolly get like $1000 a week from your parents but the principal is the same... $500 to me right now is alot of money but the truck is my RESPONSIBILITY and i'm not going to ask my parents for anything unless I can't afford to have it run.

^ I agree with GAB on this one..


why not get something used and more modest..?


while we're still young, why not just live with something more raw..?

say, an 04+ Sti.. or maybe even an evo 8 or 9.

or buy an ITR. cant go wrong with those. they depreciate so slow its unbelieveable.

if my parents offered me the same money for a car, I wouldnt exactly go all out on their budget.

i would like an evo 8 or 9 or itr. Thing is my parents won't allow me to. They don't want me to drive those kind of cars. If they let me i would get an evo 9. Thought about that long long time ago. Chances of it happening is close to zero. Plus its manual so my family won't be able to drive it.

17L-20L?? holy shit.. he must drive really bad?
i have the g35 and i get 14L/100km. and i live on Westwood plateau so i go up a fucking mountain at least once a day. 3.5L and 3.7L makes 3-6litre difference? (not sure)
my 335i also averages 14L/100km.
u and my family sound alike. i wanted the a lancer but they didnt approve of mitsu. already had a 335i cab. and they wanted AWD and something that can be bought out and used later. g35x seemed to be the perfect choice.
but sometimes i do feel that g35x lacks fun driving factor. but always good luxury feel.

weird how asian parents think.. i wanted a used g35 at first but they thought it was too heaty (coupe) I also asked for a lancer but they thought it was too much of a boy racer:rolleyes: so i ended up getting a 335i sedan... lol. 14L/100km is not bad, i only manage to get 16L/100km. :(

i don't get money from my parents. i am going to university, they only pay for gas and food. I'm not saying i don't want to earn it yourself. But let's say you won the lottery or a prize. Would you accept it?

So your parents giving you a shit ton of money to spend is a game?

I think the point that the people are trying to say is that, if you made your own damn money, you can buy whatever car you want (evo, STI, ITR, whatever you want) and your parents can't say NO because it's your own money your using.

The way I interpreted what you said. And it's not a big deal where you go to school, it's a big deal because I had to ask you multiple times. Answer my questions!

And I gave you my advice, honestly probably the best car for you. It's fast, it's "safe" (lol) and if there's an R model it'll be every better.

-want's his 1st yr UBC to be easy
- OP doesn't get money from his parents but magically they pay for gas and food
- he claims he's not spoiled

Can't really blame how the OP expresses himself when OP's parents would LITERALLY disown him for going to BCIT and say NO to any car that is below $40,000.

I like how you think though, all the credits goes to you making it to university without your parents spanking you. I wonder who would get the credits if you didn't get into a university, your parents, or your parents?

Don't own neither of the car that you've listed, but you can get the Audi from the states a bit less expensive and still keep your warranty.

jealous? I don't think so my parents were more then willing to buy me a GLI, that's quite a bit better then the Accord I have now. But the fact that I said no, is still looked upon by my parents. At that point they already knew that I was ready for life, I do not need to rely on them.

Hi,


why i like the audi:

Gets chicks,

.

i suggest not getting a car that gets chicks.
as Too $hort says:
"She ain't trippin on you she'd rather fuck your car"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0p0JVK3neo

on a serious note, here's some advice. get a freaking civic or similar. engineering is not an easy ride. it takes commitment, hard work and a lot of - if not all of your time. if i'm 18 and have a $50k car, i seriously doubt i'm able to commit my full attention and time towards my studies, too much of a distraction. make life easier for yourself. finish school, and then get the fancy car.

Ok kid... the way you seem to think and talk about your parents money just pisses me off I feel like I have to say something here...

I've heard you call $30,000 as "chump change" and any car under $40,000 as garbage (you say that and YET your fam still drives two hondas, you're fucking garbage then? lol). Just the way you talk in a condescending manner about those amounts of cash makes everyone in here realize that money can't buy class bro. Don't get me wrong, neither me or my family is poor but you've got to understand the value of money. 30K and 40K are not small amounts of money, and you say that you are not "that" spoiled. Just calling those lump sums of cash as garbage and chump change make me think otherwise... That you are a hypocritical spoiled brat here to brag about how much of his parents' money he has to spend.

In a few years maybe when you start making your own money and live on your own, you'll begin to realize how fucking stupid you sound right now... My advice? Get a civic and grow the fuck up.

Help your parents by helping yourself, they raised you why not give a little back?

I really think you can stop using yourself as an example because, in all reality, you are one in a million who would do that....I have worked hard for my car, but if my parents offered to buy me a $65K car when i was 18, I wouldn't even hesitate to give the obvious response.

I do agree though that the OP's parents seem rather ignorant, which, in turn, probably makes the OP seem pretty ignorant as well.

This is why the current generation is, for the most part, so pathetic.
The parents only care about there standing in the community/wealth. Neglect the kids during childhood and then to compensate they just through money at them. Then when the news reporters asks them why their kid did what they did they say:"I don't know but its definitely not our fault".
The days of the self made man are numbered, I just hope the next generation remembers that money cant buy you grateful/level-headed kids.

To the OP; The reason for all the hate is that if you can't figure out how to spend your parents 65k on a car that they are happy with then maybe you don't deserve to spend 65k on a car. Let them make the decision, they've been making all of yours for 18 years...why stop now.

OP, just get a beamer like the other spoiled kids in vancouver. I still cant believe you don't think your spoiled when your parents are willing to buy you a 100k car. My car was bought for 3g using my own money. Sure she isnt the fastest, or best looking but I've grown ridiculously attached and shes my car. When it breaks, I have to take the bus to pick up parts so I can fix it. Occasionally I can get a ride but I hate to bother people with my problems. I've done repairs in rain, snow and even in the middle of the light using lamps. Fixing your own car is the best feeling in the world. And here you are having trouble choosing a car. /rant

My advice to you is to use the money for a down payment on a place then rent it out. You can use your tenants rent to pay off the mortgage. You can use any extra money you have and buy an older car and drive it around. Who cares if it's old. One day you're going to be late for class and you'll drive the shit out of it anyways.

yeah this thread is completely out of hand

i do agree with what most have said in this thread. i too have been paying for my food, gas, phone bills, clothes, books and a large chunk of my tuition since i was 16. i work 3 part time jobs while going to school just so i can appreciate some fine things in life such as my recently purchased CBR 600RR. however, the way that the OP has talked about certain things such as the amount of money his parents will give him towards a new car as well as what he considers chump change is very condescending to me. i feel that it is not entirely the OP's fault because that is the way his parents have raised him.

OP, if you are reading this post, which I doubt but if you are, please take a moment and think about how fortunate and well off your family really is. take what you want from all of the rants of our fellow RS members, but the point to take from this entire thread is that you should not take what you have for granted, and really 30K is a LOT of money. try working 80 hours a week during the olympics just so you can save up for a place for yourself one day my friend, and you may realize how hard working for your survival as well as your future can be.

back to the original topic, albeit that i previously posted my suggestion for a G37 sedan, you should consider waiting for the 9th civics or current genesis coupes. they are affordable, safe and are good for building up your driving skills. scratching a brand new bmw or benz would hurt your ego and wallet a lot more than these entry level vehicles.

So many people bashing on the OP.
But understand that he is 18, and although many of you have matured at that age and became independent, I think its safe to say that the majority of upper-middle class children will take longer to mature and learn to appreciate the privilege they have.
For the asian Upper-middle class, its kinda the norm for the parents to pay for expenses while going to school. And thats why the OP probably said i dont get money, only food and gas and tuition.
In OP's perspective food,gas,tution is expected becuase he lives in an environment where that is an expected duty of the parents.
But what revscene is saying is that, the fact that its an expectation makes you spoiled but you just dont know it because your spoiled.

OP is spoiled. its a fact.

I can relate to OP because im a spoiled upper middle class also. At 18 I took it for granted too, i still continue to be spoiled but i know that i am and im appreciate what my parents are doing for me.

But also know that being spoiled is not all about money. A kid who got a 5k car from their parents can be just as spoiled as one that gets a 100k car.

I gotta admit tho. I got a 50k car when I entered university. Then got another 50k car when I graduated. I didnt get any girls with my car, so OP's logic is flawed.

post a pic of yourself and we'll analyze why you didn't get girls
