Magic Bus · 06-01-2014, 03:00 AM

Which one would you buy and why?

DEpointfive0 · 06-01-2014, 03:41 AM

Lexus. Because it's a Lexus and won't break

RonRizz · 06-01-2014, 04:37 AM

Il go for the M4 because its easier to spell!

Solomatrix · 06-01-2014, 08:26 AM

Rcf > m4

UNKNOWN_370 · 06-01-2014, 09:28 AM

I don't like neither one but I guess RCF if you twisted my arm.

ZKraken22 · 06-01-2014, 09:55 AM

Lexus but at that price point I'd get a used GT-R

M4 - Will be less of them on the road! Beauty car! Drive what you like. Reliability is not my first consideration of a known new car from a decent manufacturer. Especially one that is performance oriented. The kind of car you just 'want'. Go for it! Its under warranty no matter.

I like the Lexus except the front end. Too Transformers. Wont age well.

M4, pretty sure it will have a manual option.

kenchan · 06-01-2014, 01:35 PM

Yah, I'd go for the m4 MT.

falconfixer · 06-01-2014, 02:59 PM

Not a fan of that. Love the fact that it's a NA engine and not a turbo, as I do a fair amount of city driving and don't care for the lag. But I would love a manual trans.

Oh well, plan on keeping the Z for a couple more years but it never hurts to get your finances ready for the next toy

Yes it will, the auto trans is a $2,900 option. Was on a BMW forum and one poster wrote that he does not like their turbo engines with a manual trans as there is occasional turbo lag when shifting gears (rpm's drop so turbo must spool up to speed again). While with their DCT there is no lag at all with gearshifts due to ECU and quickness of shifts.

Does that make sense about the manual lag?

Yeah, it does. My dd is an STi. Have to really know how to work that throttle when you shift, or
