#14908 of 15522 Re: Must win Powerball... [roadburner] by lilengineerboy Oct 04, 2009 (12:01 pm)
Replying to: roadburner (Oct 04, 2009 11:05 am) Well, don't knock it until you've tried it. I was prepared to dismiss the DCT as well. In any case, a car that can serve as my HPDE instructor car and still be docile enough for my wife to drive is a compelling choice in my opinion. Affordability is the only problem...   A dual function, compromise tool is always a dual function, compromise tool. The question is are you okay with the compromise? You don't need a stick for an HDPE car, you could use an automatic Corvette or even a Camaro and be plenty fast and "in the right place," but how does that change the experience?

The question is are you okay with the compromise?   In the case of the M3 DCT I honestly don't think that there is much compromise involved. My only real gripe concerns the car's excessive weight- but that's a complaint that you can level at almost any modern car, sad to say.

#14910 of 15522 Decisions ... by anonymousposts Oct 05, 2009 (8:41 pm)
We are going to buy the Prelude for Gee and my thinking right now is not to buy the IS. I like it an all but there's something about it that is keeping it from endearing itself to me. So I will pass, but I'm not 100% convinced it's the right thing. The IS is a fairly good deal on a fairly good car.

Got a 5 speed, and pretty cheap. What else do you need?   http://southjersey.craigslist.org/ctd/1411354164.html

A SAAB mechanic in the family? A supply of parts? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Oct 08, 2009 2:57 am)

Replying to: sellaturcica (Oct 07, 2009 10:21 pm) Traveling through Columbus yesterday... and a Saab vert of that vintage was broken down on the freeway...   Just a little anecdotal evidence...

A reporter would like to speak with drivers whose families have had a lot of automotive brand loyalty. Has it faded over the years? Please send a few sentences on this to predmunds.com no later than Friday, October 16, 2009 if you care to be interviewed on the subject.
