G35 - just hit 100k this week, so now its out of warranty. fighting the urge to not trade it in for a MPG monster or truck or german v8
Subaru - needs new brakes and trans for me to really enjoy the car to its fullest, but by then the motor will blow up. stupid subarus.
quoting self for fail.
330i got sold to Bekah's brother (whom i bought the Subaru from), G35 got sold to CarMax.
replaced with 2013 X5 xdrive50i and 2013 Chevy Volt
X5
Pros - finally an SUV in my lineup. cargo space, higher viewpoint, etc. has everything my g35 did with more power to boot.
Cons - $$$ i'll never see again, MPG (aprox 15mpg - not too bad considering 400hp/450ftlbs)
Volt
Pros - I can plug-in at home (thanks apartment manager - free of charge), and can plug-in at work (thanks electric golf carts!) - currently at 1500 on the odometer I've used 11 gallons of gas.
Cons - Passenger side blind spot is huge, steering has ZERO communication - despite me being spoiled by BMW steering feel, its pretty obvious its a fail.
