Love my Cayenne turbo but I'll never buy another. ALWAYS in for repairs. I never minded it much since dealer would pick up and drop off loaners as long as Porsche was paying the warranty bill. But now its out of warranty and i think i hate it.....
Infinity FX 50S.........just as fast as Cayenne turbo w/o lag.....about half the cost...........never breaks.......and I mean never.........the Rising sun people REALLY have reliability figured out.
Yeah plasticy inside in comparison to my full leather Cayenne TT but a no brainer. Get a 50S and save 50k. I have both & Infinity is superior as a daily.
Daily drivers should be Infinities......they do what they are intended to do....drive daily.........and this particular FX 50-"S" with the big V8 engine and OEM 295/40/21" wheels/tires and sport adjustable suspension even hauls family FAST!!! oh and its a beast in the snow too...superior to Cayenne TT in snow ...not even close IMO.

Hi Everyone.
Looking for some suggestions. I currently drive a 2001 BMW M5 and its getting a little too old for me. What I am looking for is something with 4 doors, manual transmission, pre-owned, and can fit a hockey bag or two. We have similar tastes on this board so I am hoping to see what you all drive or if you have any suggestions. I'm inclined to keep my car as it's not worth a whole lot. Looking to see what the difference delta would be to move into something newer.
Thanks for now.

and worth it if you haven't had the chance.I spend a lot of time in my daily driver and need to find a little joy in my environs - idiosyncratic is not a bad word and this is a very enjoyable vehicle.

2010 (B8) S4 for me. I think B7 was last generation you could get a proper manual though instead of the dual-clutch type trans. B7 was also last gen of the wagon which I'd prefer, but the B8 S4 is great to drive, can carry 4 people or stuff, so overall I'm pleased.

Well, just flew to Vegas to pick up 05 G500 and am in Portland, on my way home. 2400 km in 4 days with a 4 year old girl and no complaints from either of us!! Death Valley is very "cool" and worth it if you haven't had the chance.

I like quirky old Japanese cars. I own several, and can't help myself from owning them. This one is my daily driver. '71 Datsun 1200 Coupe. I bought it from the original owner 2 years ago; it sat in her garage untouched for 15 years. I dropped the gas tank and had it professionally cleaned, rebuilt the carb and fuel pump, replaced the plugs/plug wires/hoses/etc...started on second revolution and runs like a sewing machine.
