Which do you prefer ?

[Pitbull]

Hi Guys

I would like to know:

If you could afford 1 of the following, which would you rather have.

1. BMW
2. Lexus
3. Audi
4. Honda
5. Ford
6. Toyota

Now with this I'm aiming for the Luxury/Performance classes.
Not the Fiesta, 150i ect. Talking sedan cars here people.

I would take Audi above all. My second I would guess a Honda Accord.

[ToxicBunny]

Audi

They just have a much better build quality about them in my opinion.

[milomak]

My opinion on this is that it is all a matter of opinion.

[sox63]

The new Merc C class is a stunner "in the metal". I can't trade in my Volvo just yet though :(

[Alan]

1. Audi
2. Honda
3. Mercedes
4. Toyota
5. Ford

Wouldn't buy a BMW. Rather take a taxi :eek::p;)

:D

[Pitbull]

Thanx for the Poll mods

O yea.. I forgot Merc. Thanx for adding it though :D

[Arcam4]

1. Lexus
2. Merc
3. Honda
4. Audi
5. BMW
6. Toyota

[Leitmotif]

What is it with South Africans and german cars...

[Glordit]

BMW & Merc *S I G H*
what could be more generic.... and crAp!
Get a Honda or Toyota/Lexus you cant go wrong with a Japanese car! Those "german" luxury cars are a waste of money IMO :)

Now for a REAL car go to http://www.acura.com/
I am liking the TSX :D

[sox63]

What is it with South Africans and german cars...

Might be our close cultural ties with the Dutch/German folk?

[Pitbull]

I also like the Japanese cars.

However since I got my Polo the VW thing is not that bad. And I like the new Audi's. Audi IMHO out classes the BMW range by far. If I had a choice between a brand new M3 or a RS4.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Audi will be in my garage ;)

[Leitmotif]

'tch, there are more than enough english SAfricans - where are the ties there? And what explains blacks/coloureds/indians' similar obsessions? No connection there...

[JK8]

Wheres VW????? What a crap poll!!!:sick:

[Pitbull]

Wheres VW????? What a crap poll!!!:sick:

There is no luxury VW/Sedan. Unless u mean Passat/Jetta :sick:

[krycor]

where's mini :)

[FoxFive50]

Lexus. They are so pretty. I don't like Audi 'cos the dash lights up red and it irritates my eyes.

[krycor]

i went with Mercedes.. SLK looks awesome, but whats up with the new c-class.. me thinks thats not gonna sell so much this yr like it did in the last few.

[Voldemort]

i would pick volkswagen over any of those brands.

[bwana]

i would pick volkswagen over any of those brands.Then you should. :)

[feo]

where's mini :)
QFT! Where IS Mini?! I schmaak that car stukkend!

[Fudzy]

Does the SLR count as a Merc? :D

[efitol]

my audi vote may be a bit biased :o

[Lord Anubis]

[Cara]

Crickey ... you are a fan. What do you need 3 for? Spare parts? :D

[Leitmotif]

'cos you need 3 BMWs to match up to a *real* car... :D

[ShaunSA]

First sensible post in this thread! :D

[SlinkyMike]

Sir, I congratulate you. The only thig wrong with your post is that it should read: "Once you've driven..." ;)

BTW: VW is not in the same class as these cars that is not my opinion it is a fact that is dictated my the auto trade. Stop trying to lump your pimped Golfs with real cars its embarassing.

BBTW: Audi is freakin kickin ass nowdays ...RS4, RS8 (straight out of iRobot!!) ...theyre really generating some stunning cars, design is out of this world - they need to focus on 'bang for your buck' now IMHO.

BBBTW: Where are the Jags & Bentleys eh?

[lived666]

I want a lexus, I'm almost there, just R779,000 short

Just to let you guys know.

The R8 is coming to SA. It will be on display at the Audi centre next to Clearwater mall. They are currently rebuilding the show room just to accomodate the arrival of the all time best Audi. Whish i knew when :D

[kingrob]

I would also like the Mercedes SLR McLaren - most beautiful car I've ever seen. :)

Here's a pic : http://www.auto.co.yu/img/download/Mercedes-SLR.jpg

[ToxicBunny]

Nah, not the SLR.. its brash and vulgar.

Aston Martin DBS is the most beautiful car I've ever seen... its a piece of art

[Garlic_Milkshake]

Aston Martin DBS is the most beautiful car I've ever seen... its a piece of art

Completely agree.

[ToxicBunny]

*stares at pictures all day long*

The new Aston in case you haven't seen it yet.

[krycor]

I'd go for the Aston Martin over the Merc.. I mean that front section of the merc with the gills on the side just looks weird to me. :sick:

[SlinkyMike]

aah yes! The Aston Martin - well noted!

[Leitmotif]

...dreamers.

[bwana]

Well - Audi seems to be the firm favourite.

I'm pleased to see that the forum has so much class and style. :D

Micra pink convertible ?

[MielieSpoor]

The new Merc C class is a stunner "in the metal". I can't trade in my Volvo just yet though :(
My father-in-law to be is a sales man for these babies. According to him the waiting list on the new C-Class (if ordered today) is about 18months... I drove the C350 last week Thursday, it was wonderfull!! This is really an awesome car!!

[Leitmotif]

Sorry but I can't see a luxury sedan in the Nissan range

Hmm. Maybe he means the 4x4s?

[Hugo_ZA]

Interesting results. Didn't expect BMW to fall in last place of the German Big Three. I own a Mercedes and am quite happy :-)

[Cius]

If money was literally no problem I would go Audi. That being said I don't like spending lots on cars that just depreciate anyways. Currently I would love to get rid of my old Astra and buy a new decent Honda.

[Xmailer9]

audi all the way. !!

[DrYes]

There is no luxury VW/Sedan. Unless u mean Passat/Jetta :sick:

Picking up my luxurious and exclusive Ford next week.
:whistle:

[Nokkie]

same with merc
Audi

They just have a much better build quality about them in my opinion.

[Jakes147]

Can the Mods please split Toyota and Lexus?

Would love a lexus but not a Toyota.

[ghoti]

wtf chooses an audi over a merc? Get the merc and sell it for a couple of audis :D

[Ninja'd]

Jesus H. Christ stop it you freaking necromancers :mad:

[The Philosopher]

Lexus.

However I think Honda is a very underrated make.

[ServB]

audi all the way. !!

+ 1 All the way since 2007 :D

[czc]

STOP POSTING IN SUCH OLD THREADS!!!

/please

[DrYes]

Thread age is irrelevant as it's quite a universal topic.

I'd go with:
Ford Mustang.

We'll they did say any model.

[abzo]

STOP POSTING IN SUCH OLD THREADS!!!

/please

Lexus. Or maybe BMW.

[ServB]

Lexus. Or maybe BMW.

Go with BMW :D

[walterl]

Audi for me, driving my 3rd one since 2000

[Dolby]

My vote has changed over the last few years!

I thought Audi was the one and voted as such, but I prefer a Volvo ....

[Chevron]

My vote has changed over the last few years!

I thought Audi was the one and voted as such, but I prefer a Volvo ....

Really? They are very boxy.

[Pho3nix]

I'd go with the Audi then maybe a Lexus and then Toyota.

[Fudzy]

My vote has changed over the last few years!

I thought Audi was the one and voted as such, but I prefer a Volvo ....

Ha! Mine too, I had to check the thread as to why I voted Mercedes.

[b_crazy]

Just voted Merc, than I realised the thread was 5 years old :o

[RandomGRK]

Wheres Alfa?

The Giulietta came 5th for car of the year by judges vote and 3rd by the public vote.

Alfa of today thumps the half of those cars there...

*edit lol...only realised how old this thread was now....

[GarethC]

Seeing as this necro is getting going again.

I wouldn't really count the Giulietta as a sedan. But this poll is 5 years old, so you can't blame them. Jaguar on the other hand?

[ToxicBunny]

Mine has also changed in the last 5 years....

Jaguar is now numero uno in my books... damn they're just stupid sexy.

[UnUnOctium]

Audi S5/RS5.

[reedOsama]

There is no luxury VW/Sedan. Unless u mean Passat/Jetta :sick:

I know how old the post is but... the current Passat looks really good in my opinion

http://myarchive.us/richc/2010/6a4e5d8c3ada_E07F/passat2012.jpg

[ViperGTI]

I love the Passat or VW cc. One came driving up behind me one evening and I saw all the pretty lights all over the place behind me. Had to slow down and get in behind him to figure out what car he was driving. :)

I'm driving the VW Golf 6 GTI and the car is amazing. It gives out 8kW more power than its predecessor while reducing fuel consumption by almost 3L/100km. The first car I've driven that gives me over 10km/l.
I usually drive a car until the warrantee expires, but with this one, I think I'll try to extend the warrantee to 5 years as I don't see any other car in that price class to replace mine with. Nothing speaks to me (except the new GTI 35 edition of course).

If I should however upgrade from VW, my vote would be for Audi. It is a decent sporty car and not so much a status-symbol like BMW. Just go for the A4 or up. The last time I checked, the A3 / A3 Sportback still had the old spec engines (same as in the Golf 5 GTI). I didn't have any issues with mine, but I've heard some horror stories about those engines once they go over 110000km plus the fuel consumption sucks. The A4 is available in the new spec engine (155kw), same as the Golf 6 GTI.

If I was over 50, I might have considered Merc :)

Volvo... their slogan is "Volvo for Life"... that is very accurate :)

I've always liked Honda... good quality car, but they don't turbo charge their engines and I'm done with normal aspirated cars. It's hard to go back once you've driven a turbo car.

[ViperGTI]

Good grief... I only now noticed how old this thread is
2007?... my bad

ServB strikes again.

Don't worry, you're a VW fan, we understand :rolleyes:

Thank you :D

Regardless of age, nice to see Audi in the lead :D

[The_Unnamed]

No Hyundai on that list :p.

[peeryus]

There is no luxury VW/Sedan. Unless u mean Passat/Jetta :sick:
Mind you, the VW CC is a very under-rated car!

[Hugo_ZA]

Mind you, the VW CC is a very under-rated car!

Which rattles just as badly on the interior as its Passat sibling...

[CrazyFig]

Merc...AMG range is stunning...but would have chosen Subaru if it were one the list...

[spiderz]

Freelander 2 :D

[purpleonlineadmin]

Glad to see Merc giving Audi lovers a run for their money... Audi's certainly great looking cars, but 1. constant facelifts 2. sharing VW parts too... ahhhhhh, this is probably because Audi's are driven by former Citi and Golf owners? :P

[bromster]

Drove the F30 320d the other day. What a magic car.

I would still take an E350 coupe though.

[Rouxenator]

No surprises to see Audi in the lead. Sheeple love VAG products.

[dj_jyno]

No surprises to see Audi in the lead. Sheeple love VAG products.Not really... I picked Mercedes-Benz.

Same here, also chose Mercedes.

... ride a Zaskar (http://www.gtbicycles.com/2013/bikes/mountain/xc/zaskar-le-niner-pro) :cool:

[TriggerTRD]

Lexus, of course
Am currently building my way up to a Lexus iS-F, and will have a RunX RSi as a daily ride.
But must admit, I am seriously impressed with my Citroen DS5!

BMW makes awesome vehicles, best drivers car for a reason
Mercedes is the new muscle car!
