What do you drive and why?
dpl1, "Any suggestions for a replacement for the Saab?"Volvo V90 (NOT the "cross country" variant). The only real downside is no spare tire. https://www.volvocars.com/us/cars/new-models/v90 |
2017 Maseratti GT MC sport - fun summer car 2016 BMW X5 5.0 - quick everyday driver Never owned a car, everything is leased. Maserati has a trash Bose Stereo that is worse than any car stereo I've ever had. Maserati and Porsche should be embarrassed for fitting their cars with such garbage. Thank god Porsche has an option for burmester. You would not believe the center console on Maserati, straight out of 80's. BMW got equipped with Bang and Olufsen. Not great but light years better than Bose, of course. Best car audio in my experience was Mark Levison in my Lexus. Like many others here I am obsessed with Porsche. Never had one, they don't lease well. One day hope to own a GT4 Cayman or an older 911. Maserati looks awesome, has an excellent exhaust note, but not very engaging due to its paddle shifters. I prefer manual transmission, but those are becoming rare, and almost extinct in exotic/ sport cars. The most memorable car I had was 2006 Z4 5 speed manual. Not very powerful, but so engaging. I miss that. Next car will definitely be a stick. |
Lots of Porsche and Subaru love around here. Many owners or prospective owners. Does anyone notice that this may be one of the friendlier threads on Audiogon? No fighting, no insults, really pleasant. Thank you 2psyop. ei001h, "Next car will definitely be a stick."If you want a stick, you’d better be quick. Soon, you will have two brands left, or something like that. For me, the best car stereo has been Meridian in Jaguar XJ. Burmester in S-class coupe comes second (which was a surprise to me). |
.....For me, the best car stereo has been Meridian in Jaguar XJ. Burmester in S-class coupe comes second (which was a surprise to me)...... I cant agree more. My next car is going to be an XJR, and of course it will have the Meridian sound. My wife is getting a 2019 Subaru Outback limited this summer. Having built these cars on the assembly line in Lafayette, I can say they never leave the line with an assembly defect. If there is a recal or failure, it comes from parts vendors, but never from the guys on the line. I wish I could say t(e same form my Dodge Demon I waited an entire year for, only to find out the manufacturer crashed the car before they even shipped it to the dealer, but that would be another long discussion. |
