I'm Over Jap Cars

[Flynnn]

Who else is feeling the same symptoms?

They just don't seem to have that "classy" or "elegant" touch in them, no matter what car or what brand, it's still a Jap car end of the day.

When driving around in Melbourne's higher class suburbia, you feel like a foreigner in your Jap vehicle.

Got to love this new 3 series coupe.

You drive one of those cars when your an old fart, or if your a rich boy with rich mummy and daddy

[KURAUN]

i aint over them cause they are in my budget

i wana get a nice car but i aint rich...

despite all my tradings i do

[eMsta]

problem solved

keep the skyline for spirited sessions

and buy a prestige car for day to day cruisy living

[R-SPEC]

what can you get in a merc or a bmw that you cant get in a skyline within the same price range?

its just the classy badges, other than that most these german/euro cars are nothing special if you think about it...

[KURAUN]

ur not special

go hide in ur corner at kmart....... and ill come see you

nah....its not that...its more man

i am looking for a c200k at hte moment...its just the most comfortable car to sit in....going test driving next weekend. The options in the one with the amg optioned c200k is just phenomenal - even paddle shifts! and brakes soo big that its just not funny

skyline is just raw power

its all good if comfort is what you're after, but sooner or later you'll get sick of it and will want somethin that goes.

i dont know about mercs but i'd never touch a bmw other than an m3/m5 coz the standard models are the slowest cars on earth!

[SHANE666]

got a '06 c180k merc in the garage.

drove it for a year before i bought the r34.

id say i get just as many looks as i did in the merc.

r34 feels much easier to drive - mums think so too.

comfort wise, id say the merc for sure coz of the leather seats etc.

still prefer my skyline =]

but once older age kicks in that might change.

its not about speed with the c class, e class, 3 series and 5 series....thats why im keeping the r33 for a while, getting the c200k soon, and then 5 years down the track go for another hi performance car

only live once, so might as well experience prestige and power

[mesmerized]

if you own a mercedes there's a good chance you'll take up golf and listen to the abc radio, reallly really loud

[nice 28]

Euro cars are the sh!t.

But i guess they're more of a daily and a "cruise" car.

If I could afford it I would go for a nice e46 with a racing dynamics kit and wheels on it.

Prestige at its best.

Or for the merc side, nice brabus kit or something.

At the end of the day, roads aren't race tracks and we can't get sports cars to perform at their best.

If it's in your price range maybe try an audi a4 quattro, awd and turbo (model-specific). Not sure how they go but in my opinion they look great. The interior is rather nice too.

if i was rich, 34 nur all the way babe

I'm over jap cars! When you go prestige you will never go back.

Try it one day you will know what I mean - Then realise you use to be a hoon - Then realise why everyone hates them and join them hating them. :-)

Jap cars were good 5 years ago when everyone left you alone but now everyone is against them.

Go prestige - No defects - No EPA's - Save on Petrol. And all you need to do is put a set of sexy wheels on.

[stolen_s15]

No doubt I would prefer an M3 with some sexy AC Schnitzer rims, but unless they drop in price to aroun 15k I'll keep my R33 quite happily.

And prestige cars are very nice to drive (I have an E46 318i at home) but they just dont provide the excitement I want from the budget I have.

Ummm the Quality?

Its just like saying what can you get in a Skyline that you can't get in a Holden in the same price range?

your comparing lemon's with mango's
