OT: Pigg car folks – I need feedback

[paramount]

The other driver is obviously a moron; at any rate as for a new car I would stick with what is reliable and will last: Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda – basically anything Japan or Korea based.

BMW’s are great driving machines, but the maintenance and repair costs – as I understand – will suck you dry.

If I were looking for a good performing car, with a reasonable price and great reliability I think there is only one choice:

2010 Mazda Speed3 (mid 20’s at the most…)

0-60 in about 6 seconds
14 second 1/4 mile
Excellent interiors
Out handles a 370Z and Porsche Cayan
Strong safety ratings

This is what Edmunds has to say:

Stellar handling, near-perfect steering, excellent seats, high-quality cabin trim, a few unexpected high-end features.

Stick with Audi and go with the A5 coupe. It’s one sweet ride.

Very sorry to hear about your accident. Glad that you’re OK.

Value for the money?

Get a used BWM 5 Series. They depreciate a lot relative to brand new price so you get to enjoy someone else’s depreciation.

People who drive BMWs tend to baby them and not put too many miles on them. A used M5 is a good deal I believe. So would be 7 series but those cars are too big in my opinion.

Japanese cars are reliable but used cars are costly (relative to new price).

I don’t recommend new cars. They are a waste of money.

You just need to know how to look at cars and avoid the weasels (You know who they are. I won’t say anything otherwise, I’ll be called a racist and a bigot). Make sure the title matches the name of the seller.

Try to buy a car from a nice neighborhood… Some of those sellers are dreaming and asking pie-in-the-sky (because they don’t really need to sell)… but other sellers just want to get more than trade-in. If you have patience you’ll find a good car… Or you just might luck out right off the bat.

Never buy a used American car.

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. I’m over the shock and disbelief and panic of him not stopping. I’m very sore and stiff. This is more than a hassle and inconvenience. When I tried to move the Audi to the curb, I was dragging the muffler. The whole rear was pushed down. I’m thinking undercarriage and frame got damaged. Not even sure if the convertible top will function properly. I suppose you can fix anything nowadays if you want to spend the money, but I’m thinking it’ll never be the same. Pretty sure it’s totaled. I figured I’m going to be out of pocket on this. I just don’t know what to get next.
