hey guys,
my brother is looking for a wagon/touring for his wife, hes thinking Audi A3 TDI... i'm brain-farting on other options right now... what do you guys think? other options? opinions? I already suggested Subaru but apparently they aren't good enough on gas...

[The_AK]

What are your thoughts on a Dodge Ram with a canopy?

edit*

k joking
4 door VW Golf?

[1exotic]

Audi Q7 or Q5 ?

if you know some people, you can get a nice clean title in that price range (US vehicle).

[bing]

i find the bmw and benz just looks hella funny as wagons, but some ppl like it.
volvo is also known for making wagons but not too into their styling, kinda boring imo.

is 40k the limit? just remember you have to pay hst, and on a 40k car its around 5gs.
personally, i'd go for a 09/10 a4 avant. might b able to find a slightly used one for just over 40, otherwise a3 is a great choice too.

[josh t-1]

haha, I think they are sweet when you need a full size pick-up, not quite as sweet as ford or chevy... plus he's already got a pick-up

[josh t-1]

she already drives a 09 jetta 2.0 t... just wants something fancy and "new" she got the VW with 12000k on it...:rolleyes: don't get me started on this situation... Im just trying to get all the info I can, since I prefer to drive cars from the late 80's early 90's I don't know enough about the new stuff to give an informed opinion...

[donjalapeno]

jesus.....she basically has a brand new spankin car

[no_clue]

pre-owned bmw 328xi wagon.
decent on gas, warranty covers maintenance. if she wants to get rid of the jetta, a bmw will make her happy.

[Manic!]

nvr mnd

[The_AK]

Theres a EDM C-Class (or is it an E-Class?) running around Richmond, if she REALLY wants fancy then get one imported from Europe.


Actually,
how about the Mercedes Benz R-Class? Sure its kinda hideous but its what shes asking for, right?
+ its "benz" /cue sarcastic clapping

edit* cool truck

[josh t-1]

so basically used bmw/merc or japanese... maybe a volvo or two...

[The_AK]

...or a dodge with a canopy

[124Y]

You should remind him that wagons are stupid, he'll thank you afterwards.

or a saab..... or a volvo of some sort..

[Meowjin]

honestly, it might be my next car. Hopefully the used one`s are priced right.

[Energy]

Yes to the CTS wagon. A4 wagon also looks good. Other wagons just look awkward, like they were afterthoughts (ex. 3 series wagon)

[ws6ta]

I'd go with the A3 tdi

[punkwax]

A3 is nice, but A4 is more bang for the buck. Get a used S line.

S line Package (US/Canada: must be ordered with Premium Package)
- Sport suspension, including 30% stiffer shocks / springs, stronger stabilizer bars in front & rear,
suspension lowered by 20 mm
- 18'' 5 arm cast alloy wheels from quattro GmbH (8J x 18 ET 43)
- 235/40 R18 high performance Y-rated tires
- S line bumpers and rear spoiler trunk lid (from S4), S line grille, S line interior door sills
- S line badges on rear moldings of rear doors
- S line steering wheel: red/silver/black stitching, shift paddles on auto models; perforated leather
- Brushed aluminum interior trim from quattro GmbH
- Black interior, grey headliner

[Szeto]

don't think a soccer mom cares about S pkg

[josh t-1]

went and drove an A3... wasn't too impressed... seems like a bit of a waste of money, may as well just buy a jetta tdi wagon and save a few grand

[PavelGTR]

Jetta wagons are the shit. I had one of those honey wagons. Fuckin' tore shit up.

[Anjew]

wtf, no one mention wrx/sti hatch??? inexpensive, 4wheel drive, inexpensive to maintain.

i know soccer mom, but still... go test drive it.

Oh I know... that was my first choice and suggestion... they were "too hard on fuel"

[MindBomber]

she already drives a 09 jetta 2.0 t... just wants something fancy and "new"

She's selling an 2009 Jetta, because she can buy something "new", but her concern is FUEL? :facepalm:


a4 wagon gets my vote.

[josh t-1]

^ I know... I'm just trying to be the good brother here... we'll see what they end up with, Im pulling for the TDI Jetta wagon because seriously thats all she needs... thanks for all the suggestions guys

[1-Slicer-1]

[StylinRed]

wagon makes it sound lamer than it actually is... they call it a sportback =)

[wobuffet]

pics of soccer mom?

[skylinergtr]

no one mentioned volvo's? the leaders in wagons. Or atleast they used to be...

best wagon... a 2007 (last year) V70R with a 6spd gear box and active chassis suspension. mmmmmm

[s300ae]

hmmm... this a punt kick away from the price range, but well worth it.

FFWD to 5 mins
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

in a real world, id go for A4 quattro on bags.
