I’ve taken the maintenance factor into account. I believe I can take care of most mechanical issues myself or with the assistance of a mechanic. I like turning wrenches. The electrical gremlins are what concern me most but, I currently drive a VW.
I would actually prefer a 528iT since it has a bit more power and seems to be “better priced”. I’ve been eyeing one in the $7.5K range for some time now. I’m willing to be they’d take $6K.
I’ve also been toying with the idea of a Rotrex SC. I haven’t put too much effort into seeing what available for the 2.5L or 2.8L engines.
This would also be my first experience RWD. I’ve done FWD to death.
I really miss my old Civic…275whp and 2200lbs is a whole lot of fun!
Do you have any suggestions for a suitable replacement? No SUV/CUVs.
