Now, I have three cars in mind that I wouldn't mind owning and one of which, I may own within the coming months. I want to buy a fast, sporty vehicle. I'm not too concerned with gas mileage (all of these get around 18-26 mpg), but I am concerned with maintenance costs since I'll have to pay for everything (still trying to convince mom and dad to help with insurance. Wish me luck lol).

#1: 2005 Ford Mustang GT

Why I want it: Powerful V8, looks fantastic and I work at a Ford dealership so purchasing the car and maintenance for it would be cheaper for me.

#2: 2005 Nissan 350z

Why I want it: While it doesn't have the V8 like the Mustang does, it does have a very powerful V6. These cars are super fast, and well, they just look freaking cool. Since it's just a Nissan, maintenance would be relatively cheap and affordable.

#3: 2002 Audi TT

This is the car that I want the most. I am a HUGE Audi fan.

Why I want it: dat 1.8L turbocharged engine. That and because I finally have a chance to own an Audi are really the only reasons I want this car. The downside: Maintenance costs would be a major pain in the ass. All parts have to be imported from Germany and nearest Volkswagen/Audi dealer is like 45 minutes away. However, my parents aren't really objecting to my pleas for them to help a bit with the maintenance costs so there's a plus.

So yeah. Any one of these cars would just be a dream to own, and in the coming months I will actually own one of these lovely, lovely vehicles.

So, what are some cars you're in love with and/or would love to own?

350z is a cool car if you don't own one, the interior seems cheap to me and way to small for me (i'm 6'0"). Plus the Mustang GT would blow the doors off the 350z and the Audi.

Can you elaborate, please?

Mustang GT would blow the doors off the 350z and the Audi. I know, but like I said in the OP, I'm a HUGE Audi fan and now that I have the chance to own one...it's kinda hard to pass that up. You know?

Dat Audi interior leather.

Get the Audi.

Meh, a mustang is a mustang, everyone owns one, and unless you get the supercharger, the stock V8 is actually pretty goddamn meh.

Audi TT, while an awesome little car, will be a pain in the ass when it breaks down. Plus the old one looks like a VW beetle, and you don't want that. The new one is sexy as hell though.

350Z is easily my choice. Then again, I'm a little biased towards it. Although the 350 does look dumb compared to its ever sexy predecessor.

If you put those three head to head in a race, my bet is on the Z. It actually has the best power to weight ratio out of the three cars.

Oh, and your parents seriously pay for your maintenance, insurance, AND gas? And you work full time? Lame.

More or less, the reason the Mustang is on the table is because I work at a Ford dealership. With my employee discounts, I'd be able to purchase the car cheaper than the other cars. Plus, the maintenance would be easier.

Audi TT, while an awesome little car, will be a pain in the ass when it breaks down.My only complaint. But like I said, hopefully my parents will chip in if I decide to buy it.

I think the 350 is sexier than the 370.

Oh, and your parents seriously pay for your maintenance, insurance, AND gas? And you work full time? Lame.They do now, since I'm still on the vehicle they bought for me when I was 16. Since I'm on my own, I'll have to pay for everything, obviously. They'd only help with maintenance if I buy the Audi, and they'll probably still pay for gas since I'll still be living with them. So, yeah. :)

I would not buy any of these cars... but if you insist on doing so, get the 350z.

Friends before pixels.

Why you shouldn't have an Audi.

Ford Mustangs from the 00's are AWFUL. Most uncomfortable, lazy, slow POS cars made in America. I'd rather drive around in a Chrystler minivan.

Nissan 350z is the way to go.

I honestly do not care about Jeremy's opinion on Audi drivers. I love Audi, I love their cars, and I'd love to own one. However, now may not be the best time for me to do so. Hence, options.

Go for the Mustang

lol.
Seriously, no don't. Unless you want a very generic, slow, heavy, archaic POS.

You really need better choices then those you have. Nothing else you have considered?

No, no, predecessor, I mean the one before the 350.

Much sexier.

I don't know where you live, but if you are further north, have you considered a 7 or 8 gen Lancer Evo / WRX STI?

Amazing fun in the snow.

Another car you could consider is the 02-06 Acura RSX Type S. I just purchased one, and so far it has been a great little car to DD. Engines are damn near bulletproof, too.

Not as fast as your other options, but extremely nimble, very light car, 210 hp spread over 2800 pounds.

These are what I narrowed it down to. I have to take into consideration: price, availability, maintenance costs, how much it'd raise my insurance, where can I get it worked on, etc.

What do you have in mind?

  • 11.24.2012 10:41 PM PDT

I already own my dream cars, I have an '03 BMW M3, and a '07 Subaru WRX Impreza STI, I got the subaru in a trade for my 2012 fiesta, and the M3 was given to me by my grandfather in his will.

The 1.8t in the Audi isn't going to have as much power as the 350z or the mustang, and for whatever reason, I've never really liked the 350z. Plus, you work at a ford dealership, so you'd know more about the mustang and how to maintain it.
And you get a discount towards it
