I would like to thank GFY for helping in making up my mind about my new car

I want to spend about $40k of the money I have saved for a fun car, I got many replays to my last thread about this issue, I know that many of you GFYers have great cars and many fun cars as well so I wanted to run a poll and see what are the numbers saying.
Vote for your favourite, I might take you for a ride in FL

So here are the final runner ups:

BMW Z4 2.5i Roadster

Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 Roadster

Lotus Elise

Porsche Boxter

Nissan Z350 Roadster

axelcat · 06-23-2005, 11:42 AM

is it your main car? if so i'd go with a boxter, if not the elise. 'course the boxter nicely speced is like double the price of most of th eothers so seems a bit stacked..

This is not going to be my main car, so I guess your vote is the Elise

I'm not into trucks either, I only use my SUVs for towing. I didn't mean any offense by my question, I was serious. I thought only women drove boxters, Z4s, and SLKs. I'd go with the lotus if I were you.

Manowar · 06-23-2005, 12:41 PM

Elise out of them

Nydahl · 06-23-2005, 12:43 PM

so
so first -
forget about SLK - you will look like a pussy
forget about nissan - its a good car but still some shit from Japan
now Lotus - tradition and very specific car - 1 of the best cars on the planet for uphill race - but still too sporty for everydays drive
Z3 - very good value for that money but its time is over
so the only choise is Porsche - you won't regret

prestige (even its far from turbo) , excellent technology and very very relaible

also you can hear chicks talking
"Ok girls he took me for a ride in that god damn nice porsche and then fucked my anus - yes girls he is a pig but he's still got a porsche so I am willing to stand that few mins of pain "

You look like a pussy in an SLK but not in a Boxter? Get real. Girls know which one is the shitty Porsche.

I like the SLK.

I've got a thing for small german cars and this one is the classiest of the bunch.

My friend's mom has a Chrysler Crossfire, which shares a lot with the SLK. Have you looked at those?

Morgan · 06-23-2005, 12:53 PM

seriously, just get what YOU like....

since when are GFY'ers auto buffs anyhow? I would refer to "Car & Driver" or "Road & Track".

It's a nice car, nice price...but it's not quite the Mercedes it's fraternal twin is.

Boxster is no 911 even no Turbo but still got feeling of true porsche (including porsche-sound)
SLK is really chicks car

Rui · 06-23-2005, 01:50 PM

I love it how you guys call some of this cars "chicks cars"...let me guess real man have shit SUV's, Hummer's and piss poor Corvettes?...FFS

Anyway already mentioned this in other thread the Nissan is in other league, same for the Boxter if its the S version (280hp)

From the rest my favorite is the SLK

quiet · 06-23-2005, 02:35 PM

i bought my dad a '05 boxster last month. actually a very nice car, and perfect for him to tool around in and go on weekend road trips. lots of room, comfortable, GREAT handling... and it really does have that Porsche sound (in particular all of the whiring, metallic sounds).

Downtime · 06-23-2005, 02:39 PM

go with the Z4

The yellow S2000 is not that bad as well

Sean · 06-23-2005, 03:19 PM

the bmw is not the most thrilling driver in the world, but you can have a good enough time in it for sure. the lotus looks fun and it does drive fun, but its going to cost big coin to keep it running right. bmw service is included in the price of the car

But it looks like more GFYers would like to have one of those then any other car on that list.
And it is a fun car, even if it is not the best looking

VeriSexy · 06-23-2005, 05:10 PM

Porsche Boxter looks the best to me

dunefield · 06-23-2005, 05:34 PM

Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 Roadster or the Elise

Minte · 06-23-2005, 05:46 PM

Easy choice..the Porsche

invertiga · 06-23-2005, 05:48 PM

s9ann0 · 06-23-2005, 06:13 PM

I can't believe everyone is voting for Elise! yea they are nice little things but they are no where need as powerfull as a porsche or anything they have the same engine my little MGF has! get a boxster its like twice as powerfull

got less power but weigh nothing, why does everyone thing its all in the HP, The Elise had a better track time the the Z-06, that says something in my book. Plus you put a turbo on it and it will have more power then all of the other cars with ease.

Silicon · 06-23-2005, 11:31 PM

when the elsies came out, they were 40+ k, plus a 20k holding fee.

i think there is still a demand high enough to raise the price 12+k.

ask around ... your 40k might turn out to be 55k for an elsie.

its the best car of the lot, but also might be one of the slowest. pussy over speed in this instance.

What holding fee?
And it is not the slowest, I think that it is the fastest in that list

06-24-2005, 02:48 AM

I was between these choices (minus the Benz) and I ended up with the Z. I'm happy with my choice, but we all have our personal tastes.

The best car of the lot? ...shhh

provided you don't mind driving such a ugly unconfortable car and just want to have some nasty fun...

The Elise lacks style, confort and class...its like a go-kart for big-kids...
