Which one would you buy?? I need recommendations

[heyloo]

I'm trying to find a car...that I wouldn't regret later on . I'm still trying to decide whether I should get the X5...at the same time, I'm also considering in buying smaller sedans/coupes like the 3 series, Audi A4/A6, etc etc. Could you guys help me get my pick?
Thanks a lot~!

I looked at a lot of those same vehicles. I had a big SUV before, Yukon 4x4, but really missed driving a car. I test drove a few and fell in love with the 330xi. It's got the best of both worlds for me, the handling of a BMW with the added traction of AWD for winter driving. I don't miss my SUV one bit!

i had to pick the 330xi. it has the performance i crave and need without being OTT. if your choosing between the 3series go for the 330i rather than 325i as the extra power is more than noticable!!

Wow.. interesting how 5 people chose the same thing with no exceptions.

 

[heyloo]

Hmm...Thanks guys...you're really helping me out
Yeah, I'm surprised how all 5 of you voted for 330xi..

I'm not too familiar with Audis, but those two A6s also had reasonable prices...what do you think about them?

Take this biased opinion for what it's worth. I went through the same thought process. My criteria was: had to seat 5 preferably with 4 doors because I have kids, had to have enough performance so I wouldn't feel like I sacrificed my driving pleasure every time I stepped on the gas, had to perform well in winter because I live in New England (last week proved me right), and it had to appeal to my eye. 330xi jumped to the top of the list quickly and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Good luck making yours.

Drive them all. That is the only way to know.

The rest is too subjective. The best car for me may not be the best car for you. If it was me, I would take the X5 since I have other vehicles. Have you considered the Audi Allroad?

 

[PuShAkOv]

I agree.. you should go with the car that you have a personal bond with... something that makes your heart race. Do not listen to anything else we say here.

Thanks for the advice~ I guess I'll have to get on those cars sometime soon .
You guys are great~

i chose x5, but the x3 might be a good contender also. edmunds rated the x3 over the 330xi, but only you know for sure.

how about a 330i w/ snowtires? audi quatros are nice, but the all wheel setup does rob you of power, and add heft. go test drive the crap out of those cars, and choos the best car for you. as for the rx330 they are pretty darn ugly imo.

I just bought a 2004 330XI with sport package 3 weeks ago. I suggest this car to everyone!!!
