apa1exakis Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 The Passat and the Infiniti are pure class man. Dont get the Mazda.. they have a lot of problems with their cars plus its not as classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're NOT assembled in German, they don't have the German 'quality' to them. Just read the reviews. Yes, I understand some of them are just biased fud but you'll see a pattern form. They just AREN'T a well engineered car. Mazda's, well Mazda's are a mixed bag. Again, check out consumer reviews. They score better than the VW's, but they're still not perfect. Now, Infiniti's...I've never understood these cars. There's next to NOTHING special about them. Standard body style, standard features, just plain standard but they cost a boatload....someone please explain to me the draw to these vehicles. But that being said, they are an excellent vehicle (now removing foot from mouth). The one in the same class as the Passat and Mazda's is a VERY reliable vehicle. That being said, grab the Infiniti. And damn, it must be nice to have parents that will just BUY you a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyCanuck Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Originally posted by duntez and are all passat's stick shift I know how to use them but I dont like them They are not all stick shifts BUT definitely go with the stick. Once you are totally comfortable with the stick you will find: - Better acceleration - Much better brake wear (engine braking takes some of the load) - Much much better handling (esp. on twisties:P ) by downshifting into the corner and up shifting as you accelerate just past the apex - Better fuel economy - And totally cooler!:bandit: The only two reasons to buy an auto: you're are buying a hugeass pickup, or you spend every day in nuts rush hour traffic. The Infiniti is a very cool car, comes in a stick, but if you are talking performance for the money ... Maxima SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyko_x Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 what model is that passat? GLX with a bunch of options? Personally I'd go with a passat especially if u can get that GPS and stuff. My friend let me drive his 1.8T and it really is a lot of fun to drive. definitely go with stick shift if u can. The Infiniti has a lot more power though so if you're a speed freak then there you go :) both cars are almost exactly the same size but still i think i'd go with the passat here. I love the interior design the mazda sux it shouldnt even be on your list in my opinion btw if i had 30-35 grand to spend i'd definitely go with the Nissan 350Z (http://www.nissandriven.com/vehicles/Futur...437,520,00.html) which is about $30,000. not sure if you've looked into that car but check it out you might like it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dysektor Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I tend to like American and European cars more than Asian cars. I'd definitely get the Passat. I recently changed my car but I had the Passat before and it's a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do your research you'll find that the Jetta's ETC assembled in Mexico have a 45-50% higher complaint rate than those actually built elsewhere. Don't ask me why, I'm just telling you what I found when I did my research when I was buying a car. Still, the Infiniti is a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havyn Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 with $24k i'd take a loaded 6 over the VW any day, esp. since you can probably load up on more options in the 6 for the money. also, i hear it will share the rear suspension with the rx-8, which promises to be a great ride. it's funny how people talk about german cars being so great :right: ....who makes the Miata again? you will find tons and tons of old and new miatas on the road, because mazda builds them to last. i'd expect the same from the 6. of course, i could be biased - i am waiting impatiently for my rx-8! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! last i checked a G ride wasnt a 4 door familly sedan, unless it was 30yrs old sittin on triple gold d's anyways... how old are you? if i were you id get a sports car, why buy a familly sedan? at least wait till next yr till the 2door version of the G35 comes out i think its gonna have 250+ hp and will boast the same looks but a bit smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
