Bob Hope’s give me your opinion on wtf I think I want to buy v: new car

[Bob Kazamakis]

edit as of 7/4

Looking for a new vehicle to do year round daily duty and looking for some luxury in my life (read cooled seats)

Budget is around $30-35k

No SUV’s and no fords

Must be able to handle two car seats (one rear facing)

Will be financed so can’t be some obscure old shit

Has to be “fun enough”

Rwd or awd (no fwd), manual trans would be rad but not necessary

Here’s what’s still on the short list:

740i

Kia stinger gt

Maybe. G90 if cheap but they get such shit mpg.

Off the list:
Genesis g70
New Accord
Anything subaru
Q70l
Gs350
530i
Tlx
Buick tourx

Fuel economy is damn near the same as the wagon, same with rear legroom. Drive both and see which you like better?

If you need more cargo space, wagon - if not, we rarely see many issues with the Volvo's.

2018 CTS 2.0

This thing looks great but back seat might be on the tight side.

That's rear SHO tight.

Might as well be coupe

I like the TLs, would the rear legroom work for your family?

Looking at the numbers, no unfortunately. Maybe in a few years with a forward facing. Didn’t realize just how small it is

C&d says that Volvo runs 14.1@101mph. Fastest “plain” car I’ve found yet.

Do I want a Volvo s90? Turbo AND supercharged, awesome mpg and large enough for family things.

Aside from the color and being quite generic looking on the outside, I like it. I was considering one before I picked up my G37 coupe. I couldn't afford the S90 at the time. You know it'll be super reliable and they have some of the best seats in the business.

While looking at these I was also checking out the Lexus LS460's. Friend had two (2012, 2013, both F-Sports) and its V8 got better mileage than my V6. I keep looking at them, and also the XC60.

If u buy a Volvo make sure u buy it certified CPO thru a Volvo dealership. I’ve driven a few as demos and they solid daily drivers.

Anything can be done if the money is right.

I wouldn’t buy a car from the Midwest ever.

Whatever u do buy from a Volvo dealer that certified unit. Pay the extra money it’s worth it

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I’ll probably end up with something Japanese

How about Nissan Q50 car? My buddy is modding his up, went 11.2 so far.

Small back seat.

I’m looking for something decently nice inside and livable as is or with minimal mods. Trying to spend money to save money on going full idiot on every dd I ever get.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I would say the Lexus I mentioned, since it'll run low-mid 5's in the 0-60 and low 14's in the 1/4. However, I have no idea if they will take any mods, and with the price of fuel and it needing premium that would be two strikes against it (at the moment).

Gets the same mpg as my Tahoe that doesn’t take premium. That Volvo almost hits 13’s and way better mpg

 

[boostedguy05]

Golf wagon?

 

[Fish]

Ford Santa Cruz. I mean, Hyundai Maverick. I mean, Veloster N.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Bob Hope check out the VW Arteon, rear seat legroom is 40” plus if you go SEL Premium, you get cooled seats and a driver seat back massage.

 

[RedBeard]

V90 for even more room for family things.
