I am having trouble deciding on what car I want to buy next. I am currently selling my 04 WRX (see here ----> https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal...-tuned-255208/ )

Here is what I'm looking to buy next:

2012 WRX Sedan (see here---> 2012 SUBARU WRX GREAT COND, LOW MILES, EXTRA WARRANTY TO 100K ) It has an extended warranty 10/yrs 100K mi. So I wouldn't mod it, except for maybe an SPT exhaust

Or a Cadillac CTS Coupe (see here---> CTS Luxury Coupe | Cadillac ) Which has 313Hp NA 3.6L V6 (which I would lease)

Or, an Audi S4 (I would only get the 2010-11 version of the Supercharged V6) Only concern is maintenance and no warranty :/

Or leasing a 2014 Lexus IS250, they look bomb and ride like a dream, less power, but still pretty 'quick' for it's class, has paddle shifters, sport mode, eco, and winter. (see here---> Photo Lookbook: Full Screen Images of 2014 Lexus IS )

Or an STI, although I don't have the money for a new one, and I am leery about buying one used and having it break. It would break the bank to have a car payment and an auto shop bill


Any help would be great...

 

I'd steer clear of the S4 unless you're prepared to be religious with maintenance and have a decent chunk of cash set aside in case something breaks.

 

My boss had a 2010 S4 and sold it because of all the maintenance.

 

Keep your 04.. Leasing sucks. you're making a car payment on a car you don't get to keep, Unless you want to finance the remainder once the lease is up and if you were to do that you might as well have financed to buy originally.

 

What year STI are you wanting?

 

Prolly 2010 or newer

 

^ this. You'll regret it once you get rid of it. If you don't have a car payment why get rid of it.

Leasing is the worst idea. Why have a car payment if you're not going to own it. Audi has too much maintenance. STi isn't a bad choice but again if it's going to break your bank why put yourself through the hassle. Wait until you're ready to buy one. Sounds like you're bored of the 04 and want something new.

 

I got a honda civic. 240. Month lease.

 

2012 WRX for sure

 

Haha. Already bought this ^^^ lol

 

audi is a piece of ****. cts coupe is wack unless you get a v. is250 is overpriced unless you get a good deal on a used one. theyre **** slow though. wrx or sti is your best bet imo.

 

JUST BOUGHT HONDA. Lol.


When that V-tec kicks in. Man.

Lol just kidding. I liked it for the price. I got a fully loaded civic coupe without navi for 2k down and $227 month for 12,000 miles a year. Beautiful black color. Perfect for what I need. In the future I will get an STI, when I can afford to play the game again. I will miss my turbo ...but I won't miss the $1000 a month repair average and the 13 mpg on E85 as a daily driver :$ lol.
