Only reason why I am asking is once the Z is sold I was looking into a more luxury car with decent ***** attached to it and naturally I begain looking into BMW's Audi's Lexus etc.

I know the obvious on how well you maintain the car the better you will be and once you mod a car reliability goes out the window. I would only do basic bolt on's and a tune, if i would mod the car in any way.
IS-F?

I'd test drive an IS250 with awd. It would be a great daily beater.

Turbo 3 series. Great for mods. Turbo reliability with a tune is so so. HPFP was an issue that a ton of people had, they may have remedied this. When done right though they are fast, but I wouldn't chance reliability.

You looking for a 4 door? Does mod-ability matter or you just want something mature?

Be very careful with the turbo 3 series, lots of reliability issues with certain years, and you definitely want a warranty (general rule with new bimmers is enjoy them till around 50,00 miles and ditch them as the warranty expires)

Same rule with Audi you want a warranty...

Im not a fan of leasing but a BMW or Audi would be a car that I'd lease.

Regardless you'll lose your *** on it unless you pick it up 2-3 years old with some miles on it.

I like all the IS's they are nice cars.

Lexus has some of the highest reliability ratings as well.

Love our RX350

Lmao, so I joined the 370z dot com yesterday, I then sent an O.G member of this forum who moved to the 370z website a link to the tr0LL's thread. He was one of the guys responsible for the banishment of said tr0LL... Now he has come back to the forum to expose this guy some more...
