Thinkin about trading in the A4 for a is300 or a CL type S
 
Which would you choose and why. Also any other options anyone can think of? Also thinking G35 but i can a very low mileage IS or Cl for about 27K. Maybe even cheaper for type s

dude i gotta ask you a question
 
your a 1.8t front trac.
me too!!!!
it is so hard to find fwd used parts.
will you be parting out your car?
do you have and front trac specific items to part out (28 or 29mm neuspeed rear swaybar , springs , shocks , etc.)


from the cars you listed i would go with a G35 but coupe only

Zatoichi 04-09-2003 03:01 PM

G35 or don't bother changing imo

paul_858 04-09-2003 03:02 PM

CL. IS too cramped =o\ CL more room, still clean car, and good power, 6spd
 
and reliable(as is IS)

IS300 is RWD, infinitely preferable to a CL...
 
On the flip side, the CL is significantly faster with a 40hp advantage...so if all you care about is straight line, get the CL.

Both dealers will come down on prices.

So i take it your little stunt didn't affect your chances of getting ANOTHER car? Wow.

Cheers,
Sameer

Man, if you can swing it and find a used G35 coupe with the 6 speed manual...
 
definitely do it, that car is freaking gorgeous and quick. I would get one of those over a CL type S anyday (My mom has a TL type s).

Not the CL
 
I test drove the CL type S. Have any of you tried driving it? I stalled out twice. The clutch is very finicky. The car is also very long-i did not enjoy the car at all. IMO stay away from it.

Apparently you haven't driven the IS300. Ricey interior and terrible version of the tip.
 
I guess what I should be saying is drive both and form your own opinion. If you're like my friend and I that drove all of the competition in one day, I think you'll agree. I love rear wheel drive, but can't get past the other crap.
the Type S has a very soft suspension for a so-called sports sedan.

i have no fronttrac specific mods. I guess the exhaust is fwd specific though
 
If you want any mods listed in my sig i can probably sell it to you though.

Kapoosh1 04-09-2003 03:13 PM

No i'm also not grounded anymore.
 
And the new car was my parents idea. I just went out of warranty and i already have to put close to a grand in the car before i can sell it (brakes, maf, and plugs) and ionly have 46K miles!!
