Updated : Best handling 4 seater car. Second time is the Charm

[duccarlos]

My next vehicle will be a pickup, so that I don't need to steal anyone else's bike trailer. After that I was thinking about a sporty sedan. The CTS-V was already at the top of the list.

The bed on a truck is taller than you



Why not just buy a bike trailer?

It's just funny to see Truck's in south florida. Make sure to go with the super duty package and 4wd for all the snow.

4X2, but I do want to diesel. I have no place to keep the trailer and the Siena is not really made for towing. I would rather just put the bike on the bed. I'm still waiting for someone to make a smaller diesel, hopefully in the next 3 years. I know Ford and Toyota were talking about coming out with diesel F-150 and Tundras.

Should I change this to the best handling truck thread

That's an oximoron, but the CTS-V would have been within the budget and a really cool car.

not that I can afford a CTS-V right now,


but,

I'm holding out hope for a CTS-V wagon. The CTS wagon is there...it just needs the engine. That would be the ultimate children hauler (with space for fido in the back).

Dude? Really?

What's wrong with an IS300?? Next Gen 2JZ... Rear wheel drive. Pretty nice as far as style is concerned... did I miss something?

[duccarlos]

A decent IS300 will run you more than 20K. They're good cars, but you're either going to have to pay to play or buy one off some kid that beat the crap out of it.

The accelerator might get stuck to the floor

Or for $12K more, you could get a real sports car:

Cayman's are going crazy low lately, heard in the ATL area in the $25K range. You want something that handles, feels likethe hand of God, look no further. I do have a place in my heart for Subby's. Mazda, not so much, ex-wife had an MP3 built by Racing Beat, very problematic. It's a Ford!

for shit and giggles I looked up the specs for the Porsche Caymen. The one you linked is the non S version. Actually the 2008 WRX STI beats it in all category's

Lotus Evora... one sitting in our local Ducati dealer... 4 seater... although that back seat is best suited for kids under 5... as the seats don't account for legs.
