lol, it's not as bad as I make it sound. It's just the kids around here that make it ghetto during the summer. Also, car will be kept garaged at all times. I haven't parked in the street since 2001.

im a vette fan, so i have to vote for that too, but it really isn't practical enough for all year driving unless you live in an area where the weather isn't too bad all year (like texas)

For s5 money I'd go with an M3 coupe. I think the prices on those cars would be in the 900-1000 range. I want to stick between 600-700 dollars (lease.)

Wow you think the 3 series coupe is boring and the G37 ugly but you had a Jetta? I don't know what to say.

Have you driven the 335i sedan or the coupe? That car is a beast and has a lot of power. Fuck the looks, that car is fast...and it looks better than any other car with similar performance with a reasonably sized back seat.

exactly, 100% agreed. 335i is the arguably one of the best sedans/coupes out there right now.

my bro has a 335i coupe with 6MT and its fucking amazing.

Yep, near M3 performance for a whole lot less $$.

There have been a lot of reports of problems (fuel injectors/pump IIRCC?), but for someone leasing / not owning it after the warranty period, I guess that's not really an issue.
