Help Me Decide on a New DD

Im looking at either a New STI or a NEW EVO MR.

Also toying with the idea of a benz c350

What do you all think.

TIA

Black05GT is infamous around these parts
As long as the styling appeals to you the 2008 sti is fantastic!! SUCH an improvement over the old bodystyle for use as a DD. The car is quieter MUCH better road manners, obviously more useful as a hatchback etc. Get a downpipe for $600 and a Cobb Accessport and it endsup being a torqe monster. I highly recomend it, I was driving one last night, and may make the switch myself.

I was checking out a white 2008 STI at speedware yesterday... looked pretty good to me.

I actually like the hatchback better than the old body style.


I have heard that the Mazda speed3 is alos retty fun.

MB would be my choice , since you already have a monster for a toy. Comfort would be my choice for a DD.

Hahaha good one vincent. Are you the on that showed the new guy the forum?

Anyways I personally like the sti more. The evos look more and more like lancers. Haven't road in either so I can't speak to that

Out of those options, MB would be my choice as well. Comfort is of big importance when DD. You should check out the G35X Sedans as well, Intelligent AWD, very comfortable, quick & very well priced.

one of the reason I'm leaning towards the mr is because it has the paddle shifter setup and I'm on the road a lot. not sure if I want to keep changing gears.

I did see a white w gold wheels sti. looked tempting

MZB! E or S Class though. Unless C63, the C-Class is marketed towards a more youthful buyer.

Pick up something that gives you a more conservative image given your pro-fession. A CLS550 comes to mind as a cool car with some ball$ which would look nice in black or dark gray. You could go with the AMG model of the same car for maybe $10K more and get a supercharger. My personal choice.
