Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
I see a Su-ba-ru wagon in your future.
I'm into Benz Coupes (C208 & 209) since a while now and test drove a CLK C208 today.
Have to say, I do like it. It's not really sporty, but it doesn't have to be.
It's not a perfect car, and I shouldn't buy it, but for some weird reasons I want it...
It will probably be a bad dicision and I need counter arguments.
Anyone with experiences and reports of that car?
I'm in Luzerne (Lucerne) Switzerland for a wedding, and the car selection here is interesting. Lots of the typical euroboxes and debadged Germans, but a surprising selection of American cars: XJ and Fiat-based Cherokees, a Coyote 5.0 Mustang, a 60s Camaro, and a Pontiac Grand Am. Also, a genuine Renault Sport Spider.
With these kinds of cars I would say lease it, give it back at the end. Maintenance is way too expensive (IMO ofc) to keep it for a while but it's reasonable to keep it for 3 years and enjoy it while everything is under warranty.

Well in that case the mirage isn't a solution either. Golf GTI because powah and practicality?Don't get me wrong, I totally respect the Mirage as a value proposition (durability aside). However, I enjoy driving too much for "fine", "good enough" and "you don't really need anything more" to fill my "want" gap.
Also, I will often be driving with 3 passengers, and or pieces of furniture in my car. I really do need more power than "I manage fine" if I don't want to get run over by can drivers. The longer wheelbase is also an important consideration with roads as bad as San Francisco's.
That's absolutely a possibility. I just wish they could be had without AWD. Since I would never use it, I feel like I'm still paying for it and that bugs me.
I also wish I could just get a Legacy wagon, without it having to be a Legacy Outback. It doesn't seem that way anymore.

I love how insurance ads try to disguise the cars...there's no way that "generic car" is a gray 2 gens old Hyundai Sonata with duct tape strategically placed over part of the headlamps...no sir!
Yeah, they renamed it for the US I think for the next year.
I don't (personally) know a single person who has owned a German car in the US that would buy it again. If they leased, they would line up for another one. Once the warranty is out, they regretted the ownership experience. BMW 7 series, Merc E, Mini, Golf, GTI and Jetta...while they loved them while they were new, none of them got another one as their next car. The replacements in the same order: Lexus LS, Cadillac SRX, Juke, MaZda 3, Acura ILX, and Ford Fusion (then an Accord)

If they got his plates he in trooouble.
Just saw now that you wrote lease. Well, not planning on keeping it longer than a year so it wouldn't make a sense, besides the fact that a car that's older than ten years wouldn't probably be possible to lease. It's only worth a couple of grand anyway.
