Help me pick my next vehicle

[mudbutt22]

I've got a new job offer That I will most likely accept that will require me to be on the road a lot more. Currently driving an 07 Yukon Denali. I love it but it's fucking horrible on fuel economy and will eat up my car allowance way too quickly . With the all time AWD and the 6.2 liter v8 I get like 14 miles to a gallon on that bad boy. So here's my hit list.

1. Under 30k
2. Under 60 k miles
3. AWD (would consider fwd for the right car)
4. Loaded- 'weds to have everyything- and I mean everytjing. I'm am a huge option whore.
5. Four door sedan
6. Has to get 23 mpg combined
7. As much HP and torque possible
8. Has to be fun as hell to drive

So far I've driven a 2016 ford fusion (ecoboost 4 cylinder) and a 2014 Infiniti q50 hybrid.

The fusion was okay. hit most of my bullets other than the AWD. The Infiniti was tits though. Great off the line, cornered like a sports car and it was outstanding in bad weather conditions. Literally hit everything but was at the high point of my budget. It's my front runner right now.

Going to drive a loaded 2016 maxima tomorrow. I also want to drive a 2014-2016 mkz that's AWD to see how I like that.

Any other suggestions? I'm pretty open. Only cars I don't really care for are Hyundai and Kia.

Taurus SHO. With a tune it's hard to beat.

...a truck. Dodge...3500...

But cars? A Toyota Avalon is a great car. The most HP, drives incredibly smooth, the interior is bad ass..and lots of room. The light brown exterior with almond or white interior is nice.

Toyota camry. Love it. Hauls ass, looks good, good mileage, and bulletproof.

Problem is you can't find them with under 80,000 in good shape there almost all salvage.

I have it for work and then I have my 4 x 4 for play

Go test drive an Audi A-4 AWD. I traded in a 3 series BMW and never looked back, Audi is fucking king when it comes to performance and handling bro!!! When I took it to the mountains the day after I bought it I couldn't believe how it hugged the road. Only bad part is you'll be going 100mph and feel like you're doing only 40. I own an A-4 my wife drives and got a new A-3 convertible for myself. I'm going to step up to an A-7 next. Just go test drive one bro, you'll be hooked

 

[mudbutt22]

I wouldnt mind that. If in could find a good used one I could also keep my yukon and stay within budget.

Only thing is my yukons going to need some money in it soon. It's on 20s and needs new tires pretty bad so that's a big hit. Needs brakes too. Also if the air ride goes out it's another 2k. I could pretty easily throw another 4000 into if I keep it.

My only issue would be that the camels don't come in AWD that I'm aware of. Weather here blows in the winter. Nothing but slop and ice and there's a lot of hills where I live.

I actually really like those. I saw a loaded black one that I want to look at. 365 and come with 20s to boot.

Maybe a little to flashy/muscle carish from a professional standpoint though.

Totally agree, just make sure you have a separate bank account for any repairs for either of those manufactures.

Bad ass rides though.

I'm a professional and drive this.

Just get what you want. Who cares what you drive. I always get customers who ask questions about the truck. It's a talking point.

Never particularly cared for the look of audis. Just a taste thing. I don't like bmws or Mercedes either. Something about the look of German cars just doesn't appeal to me.

Have you had the chance to drive an Infiniti ever to compare? When I bought my g35x years back I drove a 3 series to compare and I felt the Infiniti was better in every aspect.

Q50 hybrid I just looked at is 300 horse. I think it's quarter mile is like 13 seconds which is pretty impressive for a hybrid sedan too.

For sure. The sho would suck gas like a mother fucker in traffic I'd imagine though.

How do you like the new continentals? Saw one in the showroom the other day. Out of my price range but man that thing was georgeous.

Sticker was like 63k. I don't think I could ever bring myself to pay over 30 for a car. Truck/SUV sure but not a car.

Newer Acura TL awd. 2010 and up.. My buddy has one and it is so fuckin nice. He keeps his 20's on in the snow and it does well.. 300hp ish. I'm a dealer and we just hooked another friend up with one for 20k.. loaded.. All acuras have sunroofs too. Just a little fact for ya..

I'll dig up a pic of my buddies and one of the one we got for my other friend.

 

[Super Charge]

Here's the 2012 stock one. Can't find a pic of the other one but it's got some custom stuff. I'll find it soon.

 

[mudbutt22]

Oh no shit. I thought all acuras were FWD so I didn't really consider them. I'd be okay with a car with higher miles with an Acura since they are owned by Honda.

2013 is about the oldest I'd want to go if I spend over 20. If I go older I'd want to stay under 15 so I dont have to finance anything.

I hate car payments. The only reason I'm okay with one now is my allowance should cover payment and fuel cost. Too bad not many companies do mileage reimbursements anymore. That's like a 10-20k raise with what the cost per mile runs.

The tech in these new vehicles blows my mind. Separate screens for Nav and vehicle info, lane alerts park assist, steering assost. Crazy shit. My last sedan was an 07 mkz. Nice car but nowhere near the bells and whistles. Seems like they turned the corner in 2013 with the tech.

Side note since you're a dealer. What do you think I can get private party for an 07 yukon denali with 180k miles? It has literally every single option available. Just normal wear and tear. Only thing that doesn't work is the auto running boards. Has some extras like aftermarket 20s, limo tints (seemed to help sell my last car) and werhertechs front middle and back.

If your Denali is in decent shape I would keep it if it's been maintained. You won't get shit for it and it's a good truck for backup. They last too

Nothing like a jacked up 2 wheel drive to show everyone your fake balls. Completely useless false bravado. "Pavement warrior" wrapped in "offroad" attitude

The 2.7 Ecoboost has the fastest run times according to state trooper pursuit testing and is available in the top of the line fusion also with all wheel drive and is below pricing on all competitors models.
The new impala is 305hp and attractive as hell. Just a tad over $33,000.

Lmfao. It's a 4x4. And I live by the beach so this pavement princess has seen plenty of over night trips 50miles down for surf fishing.

God bless. What a fucking hater man.

Good, post a pic from directly under the front axle. You know...where that differential should be.
