You're telling me buy some sort of Subaru? Go home, you're drunk.
Help me choose my next car...

Did some more driving today. First, a 2017 F-Type w/the blown 6 banger b/c no local V8 S. It'd take some getting used to looking out the small rear window & those blindspots, oof. I was very impressed with the interior. Even the headliner was leather. Had power adjustable side bolsters on the seats which I love & miss from my previous BMW. That stuff is a big deal for twigs like me that slide around in just about all seats. 
I like the interior layout and thought the center HVAC vents going into the dash when not in use was cool, but would rather not have that as it's just another thing to break. When resting my hand on the shifter (Automatic) I felt like it might break off in my hand. Obviously, I am exaggerating, but only to get my point across. Overall, I really like it. I'd only buy the V8 S, though. I wish it had cooled seats, though.
Next, I went to Chapman Dodge in Horsham to check out a Charger Hellcat. I was there Saturday, but no one ever helped me so I left. To be fair, they were super busy. I should not have gone back. They refused a Hellcat test drive giving the usual everyone wants them 0 miles. Well, the car did not have 0 miles on it so :rofl: I went to their Ford dealer years ago to check out a GT500 (I drove up in a new CTS-V I had for extended test drive) and they refused a drive as well. **** that family of dealerships.
Then I was off to check out a 2017 RS3. Oh man, super fun to drive. No longer considering an S3 thanks to this thing. Same interior, of course. So my same issue with the dash stands. Way too plain and baron IMO. They should have at least leather wrapped something there. S3 has power seats, but RS3 has manual seats. WTF? Not a deal breaker as you adjust em once & forget it. It was super fun to drive.
Finally, off to check out another S550 Mustang, 2016 C7 Stingray & 392 Challenger. I have driven C7s before, but it has been a while. I didn't even bother driving the Mustang after sitting in the C7. This one did not have the competition seats, but still held me well. I was surprised. Of course, I'd rather have competition seats. Dare I say I felt at home driving the C7. After owning 2 C6 Vettes, maybe I'm just a Vette guy. C7 owners, how is the stock Bose system? If you had/have a C6 as well, please chime in. We all know the stock C6 Bose system is hot garbage. I'm HOPING that is NOT the case in the C7. I like my tunes, I like bass & I like it loud. I was hoping that my decision would be easy & I would just fall in love with something I can daily drive all year. Ugh!
Then I drove a new 392 Challenger w/the auto trans. Holy hell, you know you are in a land yacht. From a dig she wants to light the tires up. Punch it from a highway roll, you feel all the weight. I'm sure the extra 200 HP of the Hellcat solves that. With that said, if driving a HC Charger feels the same as driving the Challenger, I think I'm out. I was afraid I was gonna whack the curb when I parked it in an end spot. For my driving style, I think I need some more nimble. Anyone know if the Charger feels as big as the Challenger?
Dodge salesman was telling me they sold their Demon for $125k & he agreed that there are much better cars for $125k. We also talked about all the videos of the Demon getting gapped. It was fun.
I've got to give another M4 a chance as I think the one I drove either had stereo issues or I missed some settings.
They also have a Trackhawk for $90k if anyone is interested.

You're welcome. lol
Shut it. You gonna push me to RS3 over C7 now? LOL
I made a small pro and con list to help myself, but clearly it has not. I'm insane
The audio in the C7 is decent but I would say the Harmon Kardon in the BMW is better, I had the M3 and never liked the trans in it, smg , the 15 and up auto trans in the C7 is said to hold 800 plus , I put 890 to the tire on a 14 C7 no problems allot of fun, lol
I assume the HK was an extra option over the Logic 7 in the 2015+ cars then?
Yes it was but for stock it was good , I think what ever you chose you will enjoy it and from the list all good cars, enjoy the hunt
To be fair, he probably saw the Mazdas and Jetta and just assumed the natural progression.
I always get a kick out of people assuming whatever car is in someone's sig is all they have ever had.
Mr. Enough, with a $40k budget. You should stop looking at cars that will kill you come repair time. We have had several Subaru's in our household. You could buy a new one for your budget, just sayin'
I can go over $40k. I'm just cheap.
Good luck with your Subaru. I'll steer clear. They do nothing for me.
I just emailed dealers for Hellcat lease prices & about to do the same for a orange C7.
LOL @ this asshole dealer on the Hellcat lease.
Ok, When you get all of your offers together bring them here and I'll beat them on the same MSRP. You're buying a very expensive vehicle and I will not do it over email or the phone.

What did your local dealership say? I can't work numbers on a car I don't have and I'm not interested in helping you buy a car from your local dealer.

Can’t say I blame any of these dealers.
It’s almost like they know you’re a tire kicker before you even show up.
Buy something already dude, wow. You remind me of my wife trying to decide on a pair of shoes.

HA HAAAAAAAAAAA
No way bro. I'll always take the C7 over the RS3, but the RS3 is pretty bad ass. Either way it's a WIN-WIN! lol
Dude, I do the same thing. We're both looney tunes. lol
Mostly between a brand new C7Z07 and a brand new Trackhawk.
C7 no question ya fool. Unless you need it as a DD all year
Tire kicker = ready to buy? Yea, ok. If one of these dopes offered the $500ish a month many folks have gotten, I'd lease one this week. Thanks for playing!Can’t say I blame any of these dealers.
