Let's pretend for a moment here.

I'm giving you $100k to spend on a BRAND NEW car today.

You must buy TODAY (ie. dealers must be accepting orders and be ready to sell you one today).... come tomorrow, offer is off, and I'm taking my money back if you haven't bought something by then.

Must be under $100k delivered after taxes, you can't spend a cent more. Again, must be new (ie. 2016 or newer model year, less than 1000km on the odo).

Whatever you pick, you have to use it as your daily driver (ie. not a weekend car) for the next 4 years. You will have to pay for maintenance personally after the initial purchase.

What are you buying and why?

:pokerface:

[Amaru]

(I have a feeling this thread will feature much sucking of the Porsche cock, but please kids, ask yourself whether you can live with a sub-$100k Porsche as your DD for 4 years. SwiftRage)

[68style]

I was instantly going to say the new Lexus LC, but unbelievably they have priced it starting at $101,500 CDN hahaha, way too high for old tech (Lexus wise) engine etc..

My pick would have to be the new Giulia just to be different but.... eep at $87k I think that's over too??? Dammit... fail... okay give me a Mustang 350R just go full redneck instead.

[Badhobz]

this aint that hard.

Drivers car : porsche cayman 718
SUV: Lexus LX/GX yes its hideous but they are very capable and comfy.

[Zedbra]

If it was me needing a daily driver, I would get a loaded Audi Q7. I drive 40,000km per year in all road conditions. I have kids. This is "practical" in that price range. I could afford the maintenance.

I asked my wife this sub $100k question - she wants a loaded Dodge Ram pickup. Long story short, where she is from in Europe what we call 'luxury cars' are quite common, but it is prestigious to own a Dodge Ram. She currently drives my truck often and likes have the height and space.

[thumper]

this. ford online inventory shows it as available:

i have already been driving my GT all through this miserable winter so this shouldn't be harder to daily, only louder and a lot faster.

service is not an issue because it follows the same schedule i have for my 5.0. my last dealer service cost me $70 :thumbsup:

why? because after years of beaters, econoboxes and rice burners (except for my old type-r... RIP :( ), torque+rwd= :fullofwin:

i want to say gt350r, but after dealer markups there is no way to get it under $100k :cry:

.... also my driver's license would go up in a puff of smoke. :pokerface:

so can you please be my benefactor amaru? ;)

[supafamous]

Mercedes E400 wagon or GLC43 AMG. Gotta be able to haul stuff from Ikea and be able to comfortably carry the in-laws. Both comfortably make it in under $100k after taxes.

[68style]

I always LOL at people who buy cars with their in-laws in mind. That's their problem! 2-seater for life yo! I'd rather hammer nails into my own balls than chauffeur in-laws around.

I'm also not Asian though :pokerface:

[westopher]

M2/M3 for me no question.
The M2 is the only new car I have any interest in that I could possibly be allowed to financially cripple myself for. The M3 is in the parameters of the thread for me, but no chance in real life.

[bcrdukes]

2017 Toyota Corolla

[jdzle69]

Merc C63 AMG-S

[bcuzracecarz]

M3 for me, close second but breaking the rules (since not available this second) would be the new RS3 when it arrives. Also soft spot for the GT350 but as a daily might be a little harsh.

[GS8]

The idea of spending $100k on a car isn't for me but if I had to choose the one that ticks all the boxes for me, it would be this one:

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HnFZuHLVyJY/maxresdefault.jpg

And that's only because the CTS-V is over $100k

[Verdasco]

u guys not care about rear wheel drive vs all wheel drive when getting BMW M series?

[hud 91gt]

Are you saying you want AWD? RWD for me all the way if I had the choice.

I want a wagon if its my only car. Do they still make an RS4 (yes I realize this is awd lol)?

[dark0821]

umm.... I might go against the grain here but...

I will totally rock a
2017 Corvette Grand Sport 3LT Package..
comes to $86,880 plus taxes to about 98K all said and done....

and yes... the 3LT is the top package that comes with all the bells and whistles....

the Z06 is out of the budget, and plus I want to say the grand sport will be more comfortable and just as fast 90% of the time... I am too poor to go to the track often enough to warrant the extra performace a Z06 offers....

plus... maintenance must be cheaper than the German counterparts....

[MrPhreak]

I think it depends on what you are looking for

Track Orientated:
M2
4C
Cayman
TT-RS
Evora

City stop-light hero:
M3/M4
RS3
S4/S5
Shelby/Hellcat/whatever the other noisy domestic is
Lightly equipped Vette
CTS-V / ATS-V

Luxury fun:
SQ5
Macan
Jeep SRT

The vette could fall under the track orientated easily, but I don't think you can option it up for less than 100K

I've left out a lot of Mercs, can't keep up with their numbering

[ilovebacon]

[pastarocket]

Benz E43 AMG. A German sedan with AMG performance. -would buy this car over a 5 series because of overall reliability is better with Benz vs. BMW.

-comfortable sedan with the performance of a twin turbo V6 at 396 hp.

[Jmac]

I know they don't offer the best bang for the buck performance-wise nor do I believe they'll be reasonable when it comes to maintenance costs or reliability, but I'm really digging Jaguar's styling these days, so I'd probably say an F-Type.

[DragonChi]

Prius V as a DD, Reasons: stop go traffic excellence, practical, toyota reliability, and fuel economy.
Suzuki GSX-R1000R + racing gear with the money left over for the track. Reasons: I want excitement in my life.

[Amaru]

so can you please be my benefactor amaru? ;)

No.

I like your choice of car though, definitely a contender. I personally have a small issue with the image associated with American muscle but there's no question it's a great car these days.

Merc C63 AMG-S

Also like this suggestion. Priced one out yesterday (equipped to my tastes) and it came in at $93,900.


And that's only because the CTS-V is over $100k

Is it actually? That seems overpriced, no?

Are you saying you want AWD? RWD for me all the way if I had the choice.

I want a wagon if its my only car. Do they still make an RS4 (yes I realize this is awd lol)?

As the owner of a 2016 M4, I can confidently say that AWD is probably a better overall option in the turbo era.... I know the M4 has some silly torque numbers and a grotesquely non-linear power band, but the rear tires (275mm) are just grossly insufficient to put down that power (on the street).

But then again, turning rubber into smoke is pretty cool, so....

I know they don't offer the best bang for the buck performance-wise nor do I believe they'll be reasonable when it comes to maintenance costs or reliability, but I'm really digging Jaguar's styling these days, so I'd probably say an F-Type.

I wanted to throw this into the mix as well, but it just screams "hot dogs" to me.

Like, if you say no to a C63S AMG and an M4 and buy an F-type instead, doesn't that sort of say, "I want you to see and notice me in my loud and agressively styled sports car"?

It's not the end of the world, and many people don't give a fuck about that, but for me it's a deal-breaker. (Holy shit that car sounds glorious though.)

Nonetheless, not a bad suggestion.

[Amaru]

this aint that hard.

Drivers car : porsche cayman 718

Please do share your 718 build, I'm struggling to believe you can make it happen for under $100k.

In other words, I think you're looking at a base Cayman with limited optional equipment if you're sticking to the $100k after taxes budget.

When buying my M4 (about 6 months ago), I looked briefly at the 2016 Cayman as an option, but ruled it out when I discovered that a comparably equipped M4 is $25-$40k cheaper and infinitely more practical and comfortable for daily driving. Sure, even a base Cayman is more of a precision tool on the track and the outgoing flat-6 is a glorious engine, but how can you pay $30k more for a slower, less comfortable, less practical car with way less optional equipment? To me that makes the 718 (all incarnations) a weekend track warrior and not a logical option for a DD. Maybe I'm just a cranky ass old man now, but I personally value things like a quiet cabin and useful tech (ie. HUD) on my daily commutes -- which is 90% of the time spent driving -- more than a perfectly balanced chassis or a high-revving NA engine.......

I hated the process of looking for a new car this time around, because I felt that the M4 was my choice more because of a lack of viable alternatives than because it's an amazing car. (Which it is for the most part, but still feels like this market segment is pretty barren as a whole if you're looking for a DD and only tracking it once or twice a year). Suggestions in this thread like the Caddy and GT350 are totally reasonable and appealing to many, but not my cup of tea... only the C63S (and maybe the new RS5) tickle my dick.

Anyone brave enough to throw in a Tesla vote? :noyoudidnt:

Looks amazing, can't wait to drive one, but are you really choosing it over the Merc or Bimmer? I mean, if it's my $100k you're spending, why not get the best possible car period as opposed to the best value car (I assume Infiniti is pricing it their usual 10-15% below comparable German models?)

Exterior is gorgeous though, it presumably sounds amazing, and that interior looks pretty solid. Struggling to believe the fit and finish on any Infiniti can come close to Audi level of refinement yet tho.

[tiger_handheld]

interesting to read some of ya'll choices.

i think most of ya'll would be bankrupt in 10 years if you won the lotto today

Luxury cars - requires premium fuel. Regular gas is 130.9 ... gas aint getting cheaper.
Euro cars - a break job is $700+ , OP said pay for maintenance yourself.

The dudes who pick a 2017 Corrola S.... BRAVO!

1.) You're spending my $100k, not your own money, and you're buying a Corolla?
https://img.memesuper.com/98af209ff99541ddc1b0a046403fc76d_the-dafuq-face-with-some-meme-dafuq-girl_488-471.jpeg

2.) Most decent automobiles in this day and age (at least, those with internal combustion engines) require (or recommend) Premium. $25 per month in additional fuel costs is going to make or break your car purchase?

3.) This is a brand new car. It'll be under warranty for all 4 years you'd own it. Some cars in this price range (such as my M4) include all scheduled maintenance for the first 4 years in the purchase price, meaning brakes (replace once in 4 years for $2k) and tires (replace rears annually for $1k) are the only expenses you'll have in 4 years of ownership.

Love your enthusiasm sir but I think you've missed the point of the thread a bit.. note the words "dream car" in the thread title.

But hey, I had a Corolla S as a rental car last week, and it performed admirably in LA traffic. Very similar to my M4 actually now that I think about it... and the paddle shifters are actually standard equipment! :shhh:

[Hondaracer]

[Amaru]

2016 F350

Then mustang/corvette/435i

Assuming u can't get M4 for under 100?

I paid $92k for a 2016 with about $10k in optional equipment.

If you pass on the Competition package (adds some unnecessary extra bhp) and ceramic brakes (totally useless for DD, the car is already grossly over-braked with the standard ones), then you can get a fully loaded one for under $100k after tax. With some Ari Gold negotiating and careful optional add-ons, you can prob even get the Competition Pack ($6500), Executive pack ($4500, crucial thx to HUD) and DCT ($3500) and still be within the budget.

Same story for the C63S AMG. Presumably the Lexus as well. Not sure about the new RS5, it might be a bit pricier than the comparable cars after adding options, Audi is good at that type of shit. All the sick mainstream American muscle below the Z06 is also under $100k.

[dark0821]

awww.... you replied to everyone but not mine... FINE lololol...

Good choices, keep them coming, though I doubt I will be in a market for something like this anytime soon.

I was also looking at the Cayman S online configurator... and was like... yup not gonna happen, even with some "basic" luxury options, it was already pushing 95K before taxes....
because... partial leather seats is $2000 +, HIDs are $1400 +, and if you want LED headlight and not HIDs... well... $2400...keyless entry is $910...Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel$540...2-Zone Automatic Climate Control$870... Seat Heating $610..i mean the Porsche option list is...

(you would think leather seating, HIDs and keyless entry, heated wheel and seats, duo-zone climate control would be standard on a car that starts at 76K....) i mean seventy-frikkin-six thousand dollars... SHIT

my 25K hyundai elantra had heated wheel and seats, duo-zone climate control

[GS8]

No.
Is it actually? That seems overpriced, no?

Compared to everything else on this list? Not really.

It uses the same motor as the Corvette Z06. 640hp, 0-60 in 3.6 sec and can top 200mph. Pricing undercuts all its competition but inflation puts all car prices through the roof.

Disagree. See this build I created last night online, with all the additional options fitted to suit my personal taste... http://bit.ly/2n5lzlA

^^ has similar to the options list on my M4 and less than $1k difference in price between the two. $94k after tax. Another $5k of room in the budget to add some more options if needed.

I think this is the most appealing alternative for me personally (M4 being the other) in this price range. No-one else has posted something that's made me wetter upon seeing the pics in this thread

[Gucci Mane]

No.

I like your choice of car though, definitely a contender. I personally have a small issue with the image associated with American muscle but there's no question it's a great car these days.

Over the C63S and M4? Really? I don't mind it and haven't driven it personally, but the reviews aren't flattering.

Reason for choosing over German options? (genuinely curious)

Compared to everything else on this list? Not really.

It uses the same motor as the Corvette Z06. 640hp, 0-60 in 3.6 sec and can top 200mph. Pricing undercuts all its competition but inflation puts all car prices through the roof.

Well, Caddillac has always positioned itself as the value-oriented choice for ppl who want 0-60 times below 4 seconds but can't fork out $90k for a Bimmer or Audi or whatever..... they offer the same performance minus a bit of fit and finish and drop $10k or more from the price tag.

Now, you're basically saying that the CTS-V is MORE than the German comparables in this market segment, which is a big shift in strategy for Cadillac if true.... and honestly, it has to be a great car in many ways to justify being more expensive than a Merc, BMW, and Lexus. People will pay $10k just to get one of those badges on the hood of their car, nevermind the actual refinement of German or even Japanese cars (generally).

Also, M4 is generally pegged at 3.7-3.9s for the 0-60 on DCT models (which is 90% of all M4's), and YouTube has vids of stock M4's doing 3.6s on street tires in the right conditions. I imagine the Merc is close (IIRC they're claiming 3.9s in the brochure), too....

....so the CTS-V is basically identical in performance to the Germans, but costs more and isn't German. Might still be a great car worth the money, I don't really know, but it's a tough ask to try and get someone to pay extra for a Cadillac with similar performance when there's proven ///M's and AMG's that are cheaper.

On a side note: Kids, please beware with advertised power numbers... Porsche and BMW are notorious, for instance, for underrating numbers. The M4 is advertised as having 425bhp and most dyno runs I've seen show at least 425hp to the WHEELS, with some ppl estimating that the real torque is up to 100lb-ft more than BMW claims in their brochure. No idea why, but I know that you can't rely on specs anymore to determine who will be faster in the real world. Remember when the GTR first launched, and it "only" had 480bhp but somehow destroyed $300k supercars on any track or in any drag race?

(also, can you re-create the advertised times in the real world? I sure can't in my M4, and I doubt you can post that 3.6s 0-60 time in a RWD 500bhp Cadillac either .... unless you have a perfectly configured car on new tires during a summer day with 18ºC ambient temps and tire pressures between 233 and 239psi and Sebastian Vettel at the wheel, that is. Otherwise, expect 4.0-4.5s on most days if the brochure says 3.6s, and less once your tires begin to disintegrate -- after 2 runs)

[HonestTea]

Probably a C63S Coupe or a lightly optioned Macan GTS/S

[Teriyaki]

Went to price out a 3-series touring with X-drive because that's always what I envisioned the perfect family hauler to be if one could afford it. Then... I found out BMW only sells it in the 330xi model, AND it was priced at 47k. That seems lower than I remember.

Disagree. See this build I created last night online, with all the additional options fitted to suit my personal taste... http://bit.ly/2n5lzlA

^^ has similar to the options list on my M4 and less than $1k difference in price between the two. $94k after tax. Another $5k of room in the budget to add some more options if needed.

I think this is the most appealing alternative for me personally (M4 being the other) in this price range. No-one else has posted something that's made me wetter upon seeing the pics in this thread

Damnnn....I mis calculated...

There you go!!! affordable within 100k !!!

[Gucci Mane]

Went to price out a 3-series touring with X-drive because that's always what I envisioned the perfect family hauler to be if one could afford it. Then... I found out BMW only sells it in the 330xi model, AND it was priced at 47k. That seems lower than I remember. Have BMW's gotten cheaper? or maybe its just some stupid low base price and you have to pay 8k just for an automatic. In any case, this is my pick because does anyone REALLY need more than a 3 series touring.

It's that big? Fair enough. I thought it was closer to an M3/C63 in terms of size and target market. The bigger sedans like the M5 add another $20k for the extra 8" of wheelbase length, true dat

Still think that's a lot of $$ for a CTS-V tho, great car or not. I imagine the others are way more though once you add options such as a steering wheel and seats to the base price

I almost said Campagna T-REX but because it's not really a daily driver, I said Lexus RC-F.

[Urrtoast]

I think your forgetting the 15percent tax and pdi and freight. that will break the 100k max.
you cant get this car under 100k..



Over the C63S and M4? Really? I don't mind it and haven't driven it personally, but the reviews aren't flattering.

Reason for choosing over German options? (genuinely curious)



Well, Caddillac has always positioned itself as the value-oriented choice for ppl who want 0-60 times below 4 seconds but can't fork out $90k for a Bimmer or Audi or whatever..... they offer the same performance minus a bit of fit and finish and drop $10k or more from the price tag.

Now, you're basically saying that the CTS-V is MORE than the German comparables in this market segment, which is a big shift in strategy for Cadillac if true.... and honestly, it has to be a great car in many ways to justify being more expensive than a Merc, BMW, and Lexus. People will pay $10k just to get one of those badges on the hood of their car, nevermind the actual refinement of German or even Japanese cars (generally).

Also, M4 is generally pegged at 3.7-3.9s for the 0-60 on DCT models (which is 90% of all M4's), and YouTube has vids of stock M4's doing 3.6s on street tires in the right conditions. I imagine the Merc is close (IIRC they're claiming 3.9s in the brochure), too....

....so the CTS-V is basically identical in performance to the Germans, but costs more and isn't German. Might still be a great car worth the money, I don't really know, but it's a tough ask to try and get someone to pay extra for a Cadillac with similar performance when there's proven ///M's and AMG's that are cheaper.

On a side note: Kids, please beware with advertised power numbers... Porsche and BMW are notorious, for instance, for underrating numbers. The M4 is advertised as having 425bhp and most dyno runs I've seen show at least 425hp to the WHEELS, with some ppl estimating that the real torque is up to 100lb-ft more than BMW claims in their brochure. No idea why, but I know that you can't rely on specs anymore to determine who will be faster in the real world. Remember when the GTR first launched, and it "only" had 480bhp but somehow destroyed $300k supercars on any track or in any drag race?

(also, can you re-create the advertised times in the real world? I sure can't in my M4, and I doubt you can post that 3.6s 0-60 time in a RWD 500bhp Cadillac either .... unless you have a perfectly configured car on new tires during a summer day with 18ºC ambient temps and tire pressures between 233 and 239psi and Sebastian Vettel at the wheel, that is. Otherwise, expect 4.0-4.5s on most days if the brochure says 3.6s, and less once your tires begin to disintegrate -- after 2 runs)

I think the tax is 12%, which brings it down to $89,285.

Freight + PDI is usually $1,000 to $2,000 isn't it?
Also the documentation fee is $200 to $2,000? Depending on what dealership.

So the before tax price needs to be around $85,000 to be on safe side.

Compared to everything else on this list? Not really.

It uses the same motor as the Corvette Z06. 640hp, 0-60 in 3.6 sec and can top 200mph. Pricing undercuts all its competition but inflation puts all car prices through the roof.

What uses the same motor as a Z06 as far as I know nothing?? the Corvette Grand Sport does NOT use a Z06 motor. Grand Sport is everything Z06 without the LT4 supercharged motor..

Lots of people mentioning the CTS-V and ATS-V... the problem with those is they seem to lose 70% of their value the second they drive off the lot. Just wait 2~3 years and buy one for ~25K instead.

Friend just got one ... had no idea that he dropped $100K !I know the RC-F has had massive 5 figure discounts on it because it isn't selling well, my guess is the GS-F is going to be similar.

I feel like the 15% tax should only apply for foreign owners... it is a pretty shitty feel good tax IMO.

Lease it.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this absolves you of having to pay it since you're actually only "purchasing" a portion of the car's value (original price minus residual) and pay taxes (ie. GST) on only that portion. In a $100k car on a 4-year lease, that might be around $50k (rough estimate).

When there's only a 1-2% difference in lease and finance rates (as with all German carmakers generally), leasing becomes a lot more appealing and even a 15% luxury tax wouldn't be nearly as painful if it did apply.

Some of you are taking this 'game' way too seriously. No this, no that, no used, no Corolla, no condo, no motorcycle ...

Who pays MSRP? So what if it is listed at $97.5K, you drop $100K cash, I think salesman will start filling out the bill of sale.

That hasn't been my experience in German dealerships to be honest.

From what I hear, good luck walking out of the Porsche dealership with more than a couple grand discount on your new 911.

He's a little special, is he?

[JSALES]

I would also spend it on a C63S AMG or BMW M3

[DragonChi]

BMW M3 at 436 HP, meh
BMW M3 at 600 HP w/ 25k competition package. Yes!

I was looking at it yesterday, I would say it's a good buy. It comes with xdrive?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned a Lotus yet. Although I can't find any solid pricing for Canada.

not really much inventory to speak of... this is the only "new" one in stock (25kms on odo) in vancouver and it's $145k:

2015 Lotus Exige LF1 LIMITED EDITION - Lotus of Vancouver (http://www.lotusofvancouver.com/listings/2015-lotus-exige-lf1-limited-edition-6-speed-215-ex50/)

http://www.lotusofvancouver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/id2104_74030_F5-762x456.jpg

is it even possible to daily one of these? the first and last time i tried to get in and out of an elise i was practically crawling out on my hands and knees... i don't think i can do that every day :(

[white rocket]

Brand new? I'd buy a Toyota Sequoia Platinum. Love Toyota for reliability, resale, interface, overall value. Can tow a fun car in a trailer, seating for family for road trips, can add a TRD supercharger if desired and still have manufacturers warranty, maintenance is easy and not expensive. The list goes on. I wouldn't even consider another SUV and my plan, if budget allows, is to buy one in the next couple years.

I'd fuck with an M2 though. Saw one next door at my work and it looks mean as hell. Love the bulkiness and body lines. Typically I hate on new Euro shit but the M2 excites me more than the 1M did in 2011. Not sure I could live with a sports car every day though. I'm old and cranky and my fun cars just sit because dailying them is an inconvenience.

[Badhobz]

just buy 4 corollas...

one for each occasion.

The elegant Corolla S for your "luxury" touring
The Corolla CE w/ 6speed for your light engaging "sporting" needs
The corolla LE as your "daily"
and finally Corolla LE ECO for your long distance "cruising" needs.

The answer is always corolla!

oh wait i think ill be over 100k if you buy 4.... but maybe they'll give you some good discounts and squeeze it into 100k budget

[Hehe]

Dream car supposed to be something near impossible to get... wtf is a 100k dream car? :fuckthatshit:

If we are talking the best car under 100k all in, Volvo XC90 T8. Coming from a BMW fans, my cousin's XC90 T8 blew me away. X5 was toy in comparison.

I'm assuming you'd have to special order one new, but they don't list the Canadian pricing anywhere. Looking at the UK pricing I don't think any Exige's are under $100k CDN new, but an Elise might be. My main problem is I don't really like anything new, most of the higher-end cars that I like are 7-10 years old now.

i don't follow lotus well so maybe someone can answer this better but they stopped selling the elise/exige back in 2011 because the airbag exemption expired? this article says it won't come back until 2020 :(

Lotus Elise returning to North America in 2020 | Driving (http://driving.ca/lotus/auto-news/news/lotus-elise-returning-to-north-america-in-2020)

does this mean the only legal lotus available to buy new is the evora?

[Timpo]

So just to clarify, you're being offered a free vehicle, and you're taking all of those listed above instead of, say, a BMW M2 (equipped to suit your preference)?

ohh the M2 for some reason didn't cross my mind..

Quite possibly, that might explain why I can only find ~10 year old ones for sale.

Excluding Lotus then I'd have to say I'm having a hard time coming up with anything that I'd want that goes much above $60k all-in (370Z Nismo or 4Runner TRD are all I can think of so far)

Pretty sure a diesel G wagon (Non AMG) still rings in at over $115k...

so next best bet, A diesel ML350 w/ offroad package.

I mentioned the Evora on the 1st page, I am fairly certain you can get them for under 100K


Track Orientated:
M2
4C
Cayman
TT-RS
Evora


Great cars... nice reliable Toyota powerplant, good on fuel, and they come with some decent creature comforts and suspension you can daily making them not as hard to live with as a 4C or Elise.

[Klondike]

Realistic daily: Subaru Outback 6-speed manual

Barebones daily: Base Nissan Micra. 5-speed, crank windows. I think A/C comes standard now.

Sporty daily: Elantra sport MT

Dream daily: V90 XC, STi

edit: A/C is optional on the base micra.

but the starting price is over $110k???

[swfk]

I would get the Charger Hellcat and use the leftover cash (if that's an option) to buy rear pairs of tires. I think sub 100k you can't beat that dollars per horsepower ratio!

at 18.1L/100km city (energuide rated so more like 20L/100km+ in real life), you will need every leftover cent for fuel alone to daily this thing for 4 years :(

I was kind of looking at them back in the summer of 2013, and I seem to remember them being about ~85K which is why it popped into my head for this thread. Granted the dollar was a lot better, and it may be I was looking at used ones with very low mileage.

I ended up buying a Fiesta ST and using the rest for my mortgage in the end. I just found that I couldn't justify spending that much on a car.

You were looking for a Evora and got a Fiesta? :pokerface:

They're completely different and shouldn't be cross-shopped.

If it was 370Z vs Evora, then I would understand. (or 86 vs Evora, Miata vs Evora, etc.)
But sportscar vs 4 door hatchback family car?

Yeah, it's the best dollars per horsepower ratio, and probably the fastest production car you can buy currently in the 0-60mph or 1/4mile for under $100k..... On the track or a twisty road, it can probably hope to compete most of the time with the other top cars around the same price (M2, M4, RC-F, GT350, etc). That's impressive. Sounds fucking excellent too....

But it's a thousand pounds heavier than its RWD German rivals, which I am guessing isn't because of the sound deadening in the cabin or the extreme attention to detail and refinement in the cabin and interior features.... it's just a fat car with an unfathomably large number of horse powers under the gigantic hood. That's not my style personally, and I'd pay the extra $7k upfront to get me an M3 or C63S instead (both of which are equally superb at turning Michelins into smoke, if you're into that type of thing). Not to say the Hellcat isn't fully equipped with all the latest tech, or that it doesn't qualify as a luxury car... but unless it's changed a lot since I sat in a lower model (SRT8?) a few years ago, then the fit and finish isn't quite Rolls Royce type quality and certainly not up to par with $90k Audis and Mercs.

Also, consider how quickly your $7k savings over the M3 (for instance) is going to be eaten up in fuel and tires.... I mean, it's still a lot of money, but I imagine the rears on a Hellcat are not cheap. And it appears that I will be needing a new set of rears on my M4 (sporting a pathetic 425bhp) with every oil change.

So, in brief: I accept your submission. It is a ridiculous machine and worthy of being in the conversation. However, I can't personally justify taking a big step down in quality and refinement -- plus an extra thousand pounds to lug around -- just to pick up another 0.4s in the 1/4 mile, or shave a few tenths off 0-60 times (when it sticks on launch, that is -- which I assume is impossible w/o traction control). Consider the resale value / residuals, the silly thirst of that monster engine, and it's just not much cheaper than the Germans/Cadillacs/Lexus.

Actually pretty surprised that the hellcat is under 100K taxed in, wow, that is a crazy deal...

Though looks like you will be stuck with basic model only... but hey... still a hell car nonetheless

Sort of disagree... if all you want is 700bhp and 11.3's in the quarter, maybe it's a deal, but for similar money you can get some other pretty solid vehicles.

I'll just leave these here k?
