Spooning leads to forking. Just thought you should know that.

The G coupe is really nice if you like sporty, the Acura TL now has SH-AWD so works great if you go to the mountains skiing etc. I owned an Acura 3.2TL Type S a few years back and loved it! I have owned a Nissan Frontier for the last 7 years and not had a single problem with it. To me that adds to a good ownership experience.
The BMWs are fun but they have recurring issues that require trips to the dealership, after a while it gets old…you ask yourself why you have to deal with this after spending 50k on a car.
Also note that Acura and Infiniti USED to be cheaper than BMW and Mercedes, this is no longer the case..both are now pretty damn expensive as well.

August 29, 2011 at 12:18 AM #725575earlyretirementParticipantMy wife was deciding between an A4 and a BMW 328i. She loved both but it just came down to the Audi not being in stock with the one she wanted and it would have taken 3 or 4 months to order it.
Meanwhile the BMW they found one across the country like she wanted and transporting it here. I was amazed at how motivated the BMW dealerships are. Edmunds.com is the BEST way to buy a car as you have dealerships fighting after your business. We were getting $500 above dealer’s cost, then $250 over then $100 over and then even found a dealer that would give it to us at dealer’s cost which I’ve never before in all my years buying cars have seen.
We were all set to pay cash for the car but then they offered 1.9% financing if we financed it with BMW financing and then to boot, if we did, they rebated another $750 to go through them. So the financing costs very little as we put down a big down payment.
Plus they said we can have free weekly car washes for 2 years…… amazing how competitive they are right now.
Meanwhile, I went to the internet manager at Audi where I recently bought a Q7 to see if he can match BMW’s deal and offer the car AT COST and also got him to agree to it.
So car buying these days is definitely much easier using online sources like Edmunds. Love it..
