daily driver sedan

Audi A8: Don't see them everywhere/everyday like the Merc or BMW and they are great drivers. They don't feel as large as they actually are.

 

BMW M5? though it's smaller than the 750, it's an amazing sedan (as has been discussed numerous times in these threads)

 

Coach, I just brought a 2006 MB C55 for $52K, and I love it. Just the right size. Steel, not hydraulic springs. The car feels more planted than either the new BMW 3 or 5, and you gotta love a V8.

Mecedes S 55.

 

Wait for the new Lexus LS, it should launch next year. From what I have read, it is going to be a really impressive car with a Maybach like backseat option. Great, but it more than likley would not be fun to drive and will look like a toyota (go figure.) I would recommend an S class or 7 Series. They are great day in and day out, but are expensive for repairs and not all that reliable. Also consider the Audi A8. May I ask what your price range is? New or used?

 

A8 or V10 A8S.

 

BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes

 

How about a Maserati QP........an absolutely gorgeous care with coachwork interior.......and a bit of power as well.......

 

1995 Mercedes 500E? Still too sporty/flashy?

 

Maserati QP for a little fun and high style

MB E Series if you can tolerate the marginal build quality

BMW 5 Series if you can tolerate the Bangle styling

STS in 8 cylinder and AWD guise is a very nice ride, better looking than a 5 series, but I am not sold on the front end design

 

mercedes s550 4-matic, coming this november and msrp is $90,000

mercedes s-600 ( new one ) v12 engine is smooth but fast comes with all options standerd and msrp is $143,000. almost like a mini maybach in the back seat.

 

Mercedes and BMW build quality seems to have taken a nose dive the past few years.

Lexus might not be as flashy as the previous, but the quality and reliability is 10X better. I kinda like the new GS. Also lighter on your wallet paying for other peoples lack of respect and/or driving skills.

 

M5 is the way to go. If you are really interested, you can PM me and I can get you a good deal on one.

 

My dad just bought an 06 S600 with a 138k window sticker for $87k BRAND NEW with delivery miles on it from the local dealer. If you don't mind the old body style it is an amazing deal and these cars are still left out there he was offered an S65 brand new 06 for $122k which is over $50k off sticker, but again it is the old body style.

1994... 1994... was the last year they were made, some however were "sold" as 1995 model...

 

Ferrari 400i. Seriously though, it depends what you want. I've driven a BMW (7), Merc (S/E/C/CLS...), and QP. I've never driven the A8, although I do like the A4/6. I really like the E-class, esp. the E55 overall though. I know several on the board own one (and have good reviews) but from first impressions it's impressive.

 

Wow, this topic recurs so frequently.

If you want real performance with a low budget and fair practicality, go for a Subaru WRX STi or a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

 

Yes, you are correct. My bad

 

I have used a BMW M5 as my daily driver since 2000...an e39 for 111k+ miles and now my e60 which I have driven 7k+ miles had since March. The Bangle styling on the new M5 looks stunning, they are very fast, handle great, are very reliable, have enough luxury to satisfy anyone and will seat 5 as needed...there is no better sports sedan IMHO...

 

I've had many sedans, Including the 750Il which I loved for its 12 cylinders. However, I sold it and got a new 745 LI which was also great. A little less power but still a great car. That was until I bought a 98 F355 Spider which is now my daily driver. No problems and a whole lot more fun than anything I own. Still have the 745 Li for the rainy days.

 

My 2002 M5 has 42k on it & it is solid, no issues, Yet

Thing runs HARD

 

Cadi CTS-V. Lots of go with the vette engine and if your into modding the car responds well to mods also.

 

I would have to say a Bone Stock Nissian Skyline R33 or R34.

 

Get a Lexus as a daily driver.

Keep the headache cars for the weekend.
