Dillem! - Toyota Camry, 3.5 L, 2006
When you drive around the city, you always pay attention to beautiful cars and think: cool car, I would take this. As a result, there will be a dozen or more cars that "I would take."
But when it comes to buying, I think many will agree with me, you start to choose long and painfully. It is correct, because a car is bought not for 2-3 months, but for 2-3 years (well, someone changes cars more often, but this is not our case).
My wife and I went to watch BMW 3-xy. We looked, rode ... I liked everything, but the price was announced in the average configuration of 1.400.000 - 1.500.000 rubles. And they watched 325 I, tk. 320 is quite weak.
I was a little upset, but on the way home we decided to look into Lexus. I never looked at the IS 250, but when I sat in the cabin, I was amazed at the quality of the finish and the spaciousness in the car (it feels like the car is more than a BMW 3).
Took a test drive… Noise isolation by 5 points. The steering wheel is moderately sensitive, but not wadded. The brakes are excellent. In a word, everything in the car is great, and the price is 1.400.000 but in "full stuffing".
We thought about taking it, but I read on the forum that the car is skrIpit in the cabin in winter and heats up for a long time, which is a minus, because no garage ...
Now I don't know what to choose. We think to go see an Audi, but my wife is not happy. I myself have never driven an Audi A4, but I have heard good reviews.
In general, I sit and think what to take ... Tell me ...
Price tag: 1 300 000 ₽
I don't quite agree about the space in the Lexus - it seemed a bit cramped to me. Anyway, in comparison with the third series of BMW
To Camryfan - I agree ... but they cost other money)
To Temadpt - I think it's all about the nuances ... it seems to me that the rear-view mirror obstructs the view strongly in the behe. Although maybe I just had such an uncomfortable fit ...
It is true, I have not exploited BMW, but there are several acquaintances and friends who drive BMWs. So the stories of one owner of a 3-ki about his misadventures are more amusing than a comedy club :)
"for her (3-ki) glitches" - another nonsense, do not listen to a person who has never exploited a BMW in his life, someone told him that it was buggy, he is now clogging up the network here! Lexus is a good car, but I would choose a BMW, it has more drive and emotions, and the Lexus loses decently in value in the secondary market (I work in this area)!
Kanechno Lexus, and there is nothing to think about! No, beha 3 kanesh is the most beautiful of the current beh, IMHO. But during these 2-3 years of operation, your wife will eat up all your baldness for her (3) glitches. Only Lexus! And the main thing is to score on THAT! ;)
I myself drove a Lexus for a long time and I can tell you about it. Are you going to GS or IS?
For this money, I would take an Audi A4 in a good configuration.
An acquaintance drives an is250, a great car ... with this amount you can take it! Have you ever thought about the Infinity G35?
A friend has a G35, the mileage is already 50k, the flight is normal. The parents of the FX45 also have no complaints.
In general, I would suggest an Opel Insignia with all-wheel drive: a very decent option and just fits into the price range.
G35 thought, but I'm not quite sure about the quality of Infinity (infinity fans? Don't judge me harshly!). Although there is four-wheel drive and money is cheaper than IS! This is what is alarming!
I would advise Lexus! firstly it sounds more beautiful than BMW, not so frequent (one might say exclusive), original, and even more so if you liked it ... then take it! but at the expense of creaks, even new Mercedes creaks in winter, winter is winter, no matter what creaks , the main thing is how it drives, how you feel in it!
LEXUS - and there is nothing to think about, the bad owners creak in the cabin, and the V-6 cannot warm up for a long time, unless, in principle, the car is heated to 100 degrees at the house for an hour and a half.
I agree absolutely. I myself put the car in the parking lot near the house. The V6 does not warm up for long 5 minutes, the rpm dropped and you can move forward for another 5 minutes and boldly give the rpm)
for this budget, I would still look at the Opel insignia or maybe the Saab 9-3 Maybe a super Skoda, but after the Camry it will be rather weak, but the interior is more interesting than everything that Volkswagens have at the expense of Voltsei, I can advise the Passat CC Appreciate a nice device, you can also pick up for this money some of the turbohaches
3 MPS
Seat Leon Cupra Skoda Octavia RS You will
dig a little 2.8 4x4 turbo insignia or again Saab 2y8 turbo 4x4 only they are rare for Europe 2000 cars
