Nothing a few simply mods can't fix :D for the Audi that is

I like the 335i as well, but I'm only worried about the engine's reliability. My friend had a base 335i coupe for less than 2 year and sold it bc it had major oil burning and overheating issues. The car was only 1.5 years old and already has major engine problems. On the other hand, another friend of mine with a 330i sedan didn't have any of these problems. it could just be a lemon, but i think the turbo in the 335i engine is more prone to these issues than non turbo bmw engines.

of course


the IS250 on the other hand...is hopeless. You can put on all the bolt ons in the world in that car and its still.........

S5 is still using the out-dated 4.2L V8 from the B6/B7 S4..which will have water pump issues. I would never touch a car with that V8 in it, some of the service records I've seen with that motor are almost 20 pages long.

Any N/A engine will be more reliable (or should be rather... see S54 shell bearing issues) than a turbocharged engine, simply because there are less parts and less complexity to the engine, thus fewer points of failure.

The 335i had lots of HPFP issues, and the turbos were not easily swapped out/fixed because of the integrated design. The 330i was a proven engine by the time of the E90 330i with lots of history, with all the bugs ironed out.

@ the OP, if you can get a G35X with an updated interior it's a great car for Vancouver.

plus the s5 doesnt feel very fast at all

the 350hp 340 torque certainly didnt help due to the 1750kg fat ass

car is smooth tho and quiet. Steering was a bit light as well as the suspension was on the soft side

i'm in the same boat, looking for a g35 as well.
from what i've learned from reading sites and asking people is that the first couple years had the most problems (which is pretty much a given)
People have been stressing the fact to go with 05 and up.. so I'm still looking..

+1 for legacy GT (05-09) wagon !

subaru does not compare to any of the cars we just talked about.

Infiniti
Bmw
Audi
???
SUBARU STATION-WAGON?

i say get the g35x, it truly is the best bang for the buck all wheel drive sedan

whether you are gonna mod it or not i would recommend the 06 or higher

wait for the new hyundai sonata 2.0t? lol . . . .

From what stand point? Prestige, maybe not, luxury, depends on your definition. But from a driving pleasure, performance, engineering stand point, Subaru is at the top when it comes to fun to drive AWD vehicles.

When I bought my legacy spec b, I test drove the IS350, G35X Sedan, and the 330i, but when it came down to it, the subaru offered the best praticallity+fun, plus it has a lower cost of ownership from a maintenace stand point. Lastly, the 2.5L turbo charged boxer engine is definately one of a kind.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes:

theres a fail button for a reason.. :p

fucking a i cant use it

got pulled

can only thank

Not saying legacy is a bad car, but op is going after a infiniti which is a luxury brand therfore wanting something that has all the bells and whistles of a luxury branded car. Thats why everyone suggested Audis, bmw etcc

and some genius throws in a random garbage brand in there
:bullshit:

different class of car. cant compare.


i do like their sonatas and genesis coupes though... blame the japanese makers for building ugly cars now.

for a daily driver in Vancouver (where the average speed most places is like 45 km/h) -- I'd say the G35X is a winner

ya well looks can be deceiving. Just because it looks better doesnt mean its automatically a better car



Sell ur R and get a kimchi box on wheels than
;)

What are you talking about....the current S5 has the new 3 liter supercharged engine in it with S-tronic. And the 4.2 v8 is different from previous 4.2s, since the one in the S5s incorporates FSI.

naw. not yet. still need to enjoy more out of the R.. besides. the type R branding has been seemingly discontinued... makes me feel privelaged to own the only R ever available in north america officially.. :thumbsup:

i think their interiors are pretty decent. Basically what i was comparing it to was my older 5-series where the interior is very well built with good quality materials and is very comfortable

boy are you special
:blush::blush::blush::blushsmile::rofl:

it does.


its great to know that you own a car that came with the factory type R badge.. :D
