bigpoppanils Posted December 21 Author Report Share Posted December 21 you still drive your parents car?we were splitting a lease 50/50 (the payment and the cap cost). when I moved out in october they took over the full lease payment.both me and my parents were looking at lease deals, and we realized that we would rather share one nice car than get two galants or civics.

bigpoppanils Posted December 22 Author Report Share Posted December 22 so basically you share a car with your parents. used toid rather have my own acura than share a mercedes e-class with my mom. so would I. but even the RSX was out of my price range. three years ago I was still in school and working part time. all i could afford was $250 a month for both insurance and car payments....that didnt leave me with too many options. why pay anything though, why not just borrow their car when you want to use it and pay nothing towards the lease? thats exactly what i'm doing now.

somebitch Posted December 22 Report Share Posted December 22 used toso would I. but even the RSX was out of my price range. three years ago I was still in school and working part time. all i could afford was $250 a month for both insurance and car payments....that didnt leave me with too many options. thats exactly what i'm doing now.oh good deal! that is what i would do too if i was in school or coulsnt afford payments. i can barely afford them now considering my insurance doubled when i moved i know what you mean though, pointless to sink a bunch of money into some stupid hundai when its not what you want.

bigpoppanils Posted December 23 Author Report Share Posted December 23 i just drove it....it most certainly handles better than the Saab. it is also MUCH faster.the ride is a bit smoother, and it feels more solid. The interior is better built.I have 3 main gripes: the brakes are oversensitive, the sound system is dull, and the electronics are extremely overcomplicated.

cintron Posted December 23 Report Share Posted December 23 so basically, it's not as fun? man. that sucks. Mercedes has had several nice cars recently but the majority of their lineup seems to be expensive, numb and overcomplicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppanils Posted December 23 Author Report Share Posted December 23 so basically, it's not as fun? man. that sucks. Mercedes has had several nice cars recently but the majority of their lineup seems to be expensive, numb and overcomplicated.actually it is more fun to drive than the saab, just not as much as I was expecting. i definitely have more confidence in it as far as cornering goes.
