This will half the forum, but I see more American roads than anyone else I know... And Philly traffic ain't that bad. It's bad, but it's nowhere near Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, etc.

I'd say it's pretty equivalent to Charlotte.

thats one of those 'mericun things.

Their city has THE WORST drivers, traffic, parks, crime, etc.

The Challenger is really the 60's throwback car in every way, giant size, giant interior size, giant NA motor, looks the same as it did in the 60s etc. You won't own a road course with it. If I were waxer I would definitely consider a manual SRT or Hellcat Challenger as sort of a weekend cruiser. The Demon is fking crazy with its trans brake and all that other jazz. I don't know what dealers are gouging for those but that seems investment grade to me.

It would be a great freeway/commuter car.

My mom had a v6 charger rental while her 535 was being repaired. I drove that around with them and went to rural Virginia, and I actually like cruising in this damn thing, and dat nature of it. But I prefer the R/T

Traffic is awful everywhere... But there are an elite few that are truly next level shit.

they're great vehicles for their intended purpose, comfy, stylish cruising. The V8 takes it up a notch adding power and cool noises. V6 power is perfectly adequate though.

I believe it. We have shit roads... and LA is next level (through the main streets). I dodge anus shattering potholes daily. Driving in SF is just not even an option if you have any sort of performance car.

Used glks are pricy. I thought that a cx5 is adequately fast. It won’t win races but you never feel like it needs more power ... this is a derp mobile

I actually really like the current gen X3.

This is very true. DC and NYC are fucking RAGE inducing to drive through at almost any time of the day.
The major Philly traffic happens on the highways to/from the city. Inner city driving and all is really pretty acceptable.

It's actually fun to brap around NYC around 5-6am on a Sunday before anyone else is up. I've done a few MINI runs like that and it was 5/7.

about an X3 ? If you're a car enthusiast you get a macan, as it has at least some driving dynamics. These vehicles are for badge whoring females.

Trust me, when I drove to Shenandoah, close to where I took pics on skyline drive, I never felt that relaxed to drive, never had people worry about cutting me off, etc.

This is probably the only solution, 2:40 & 3:00 is pretty spot on for the situation. ANNND 3:30, VERY spot on!

Macan will give you more Long Island rich asshole cred than the x3, x3 is for upper middle class soccer moms there, and here.

It's pretty cool to have the mean streets to yourself in any city. 5-6 AM on a Sunday is likely the only time I'd really enjoy being in NYC period.

Friend of mine is looking to buy a . He got an OTD price of $27,403 for an SE manual.

Decent price? I think it's alright.

S model starts at $25,5xx, so I'd say that's somewhat of a steal. Mine is also an SE, DSG, with xenons and it's $30,900 MSRP. I bought it before the Performance Pack got released into the market.

Meh.

GTS. I'm all about the GTS.

if X5M is better than the Macan GTS for performance standpoint, but still a lighter car, and with a simple tune, I could give a run for the money.
