🚘 Automotive CT4V Blackwing or RS3

[Jimy Bilmo]

CT4-V Blackwing

 

[DEEZUZ]

for those who aren't keeping score:

The CT4-V Blackwing packs a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6 that produces 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque.

Oh... Wait... WHAT

 

[Yaj Yak]

so uh ct5-v's haven't really come down in price ill see myself out

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

RS3 looks like every other fucking Audi since 2002.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Then.

RS3 looks like every other fucking Audi since 2002.

This is very very true

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Audi is my least fav of the big 3 German manufacturers fwiw. They’re like the Lincoln of Germany

Caddy all day. Cadillac customer service was awesome. They would drive a loaner to my work and take my car for warranty service. They always gave me a better loaner than I owned. They actually treated you like a valued customer. The rest of GM, not so much.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Caddy is my vote. Manual alone but also think it’s looks better and a little more unique which I like.

 

[Boostie]

Also willing to listen to alternative cars I should be looking at! Budget in the 50's.

50k should get you into an entry level, high mileage 03/04 cobra which is superior in all aspects

The smaller Audi's have 110% become the go to choice for flat brimmed hats and clouds of vape smoke coming out the window. Wouldn't be caught dead in one.

Exactly fucking this!

In terms of reliability and general repairs my vote for the Germans:

1. Mercedes
2. Porsche
3. BMW
4. Audi/VW

crazy how well late cts-v's seem to be holding value too

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Oh... Wait... WHAT

What are you driving again? Aren't you the Ghey with a 165hp turd gen? haha

so uh ct5-v's haven't really come down in price ill see myself out

Yea, those cars are 85k + used. Not in my budget.

Then.

You do know the Audi is only a 5cyl, right? What am I thinking, of course you dont. You probably think that has a V8 too

50k should get you into an entry level, high mileage 03/04 cobra which is superior in all aspects

I think I'm going to barf/

 

[Yaj Yak]

looks like 70k+ to touch any 2017ish or newer

 

[Jeffs FRC]

crazy how well late cts-v's seem to be holding value too

Even the ATS-v's, which are the precursor to the 4, have now held on fairly well after tanking initially.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Jeff....why are you selling yourself short and capping yourself in the $50's??? We all know you can do better than that!

In terms of reliability and general repairs my vote for the Germans:

1. Mercedes
2. Porsche
3. BMW
4. Audi/VW

On the other end, my take is this:

Mercedes is always at the forefront when it comes to luxury and features. So you pay out the ass but you get better interiors, better options etc. Note: these cool features will prob start to break in 3 years
BMW...performance for your dollar is the best by far, interiors & features will trail mercedes until the end of time
Audi is kind of a mix of all of them. They take their base VW's, dress them up using ideas from BMW and mercedes, and charge top dollar (more than BMW if you can imagine that). Just ignore their economies of scale considering you're paying 80k for a vehicle that uses the same chassis as a $40k VW

porsche rules all but is above most people's price range

This is 110% spot on....

6 speed manual caddy ftw.

Do you want it to be a sedan? Or just something fun in the $50’s?
