type R"s.... price tag is just over $43 ,000 in Canada. taxes aside . if you drive across the border to US you can find a great used car with well over 300 hp"s for about $10,000!.

10$ right. in u.s. not here. even that 370Z used is about $16 ginos. here ol
I do like that E55 Merc though...loved it before when it 1st came out still do even till this day. has anyone seen the Performance specs they speak for themselves. it can kick any little dinky Civics but.!! i like these kind of performance cars what stops me from buying one is the higher maintenance costs, & repairs , higher gas consumption, etc . associated with owning one of these bahemythes. thats why i drive a Sad Civic. lol

rogerscivic

wich one are you looking at. ?

brags

Talking about the 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG 469 ponies and produces 516 pound ft of torque. when the Torque exceeds more than the horspower you no its going to be extremely fast.!! 0-60 in that car 2,2 seconds!! 12.00"s in a Quarter mile. I guess if i really wanted one i could get one but buying one to impress others vs buying something that i can afford in the real world day in and day of out of driving a car are 2 different things for average income people. lol but i do like the 2019 type R though thats an impressive little car Honda built i must say.!!

what about the 2004 Audi S4 that looks like a great car. to own perhaps??.

its fuel thirsty being a v8 Oil changes are more expensive takes 10 Quarts to fill up & takes longer to do One. since you gotta replace the gaskets on new oil filter. but at least its got an actuall Dipstick to check Oil level & Coloure. many newer Audis you gotta go thru the dash to check Oil Level thru its screen & obviouslly it dont show You actuall coloure. Yes i know stupid its a turn off for me too. many people that own Audis dont usually keep them too Long Oh by the way older ones are still plaged with electrical glitches. Audi is far from owning a simpler Honda. in my Opinion.

brags im going to have to say your right on this one. we know a family member that owned a audi for a few years now and just recently i have seen it up for sale. its only a 2009. leads me to beleive any german car is junk there depreciation is noticeibly quicker than any other car inc. are japenese honda"s.

brags

Well... Hold on a second before You Put Down & Say "ALL German Vehicles are Junk." i know for a "fact." they work well in Europe country's like Portugal been there and seen them perform flawlyslly with-out any what-so-ever-issues. bud. " Older German Vehicles work better in warmer climates from there Origin" yes there have been issues on older ones but the newer German vehicles like newer bmw"s sold here in North America being in Canada are much more reliable. when my murano"s trany gave out i was looking at a bmw X3 suv with the well known reliable straite 6 cylinder engine .

rogerscivic

i meant Audi. So.. did You buy one.?

brags

Answer is No... we looked at a 2013 BMW X3 Suv we didnt buy it. because upon Test drive it would not start. sales guy had to jump start/boost battery to start it. and there after upon test drive it was in some kind of limp mode all dash lights on & it would not go over 10kms vehicle had no power to be driven. So i turned it down, and ended up Looking at & buying a fully equiped 2014 Santa-Fe instead So far i put on 10,000kms and Love the vehicle.
