Get it in grey. :eeyore: The rainy season is started in the bay area, you have chosen to sell off cars with any enthusiast bent. You have chosen life in the shadow of despair. Might as well make everything match.

My white TDI is now gray, because I refuse to wash the earth destroyer before it goes to the scrapper. :yikes:

If that $329 a month lease deal is legit I don't think the R is worth it.

It is in fact a great car.. It is either that or

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5845106986.html

I am very tempted in this guy because it is a VERY short term and it doesn't include any of the hidden fees that are generated at lease origination.

ONLY if you can get past the fact that it's a "poverty egg" or whatever, I don't think Max can.

Yawn. Would take the PP GTI over this.

Actually I think you should get the CLA250 AZN pussy magnet. It seems to be most in line with what you want.

:butwhy:

It has nice brakes, a great suspension. It isn't a very heavy car and it has a decent motor...

The m235i was quite possibly the most boring fast car I've ever been in. Entirely numb steering, no life at all in it, mush brakes, so so cabin (I actually liked the Subaru more FWIW), and while power was good, the engine had no drama or theater at all going to redline. No feeling from any part of that car.

Mush brakes... is bizzare. Every BMW I have ever driven had super touchy brakes. The WRX had blah brakes...

I can see the boring part, if you don't like refinement in a car.

Can I just say that the MB CLA is one of the ugliest, least desirable secretary badgewhore mobiles ever created. For the love of all that is good and holy, NO TO THE CLA.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, have you actually driven one? In non poverty spec.

I haven't, I just hate the way they look so badly that I would never even consider a test drive. I would Accord Sport Manual over a CLA, if that tells you anything.

Plus your your 100 lb. AZN girlfriend (one of them) would have a nicer MB than you.

How is the CLA more desirable than taking over that Bimmer lease?
