Replying to: jlbl (Jul 04, 2009 11:17 am) She is indeed very happy with it, but, to answer your question, no... she doesn't seem to have a genuine passion for cars... she has other things on her 16-yr.-old mind... I'm sure you can imagine. My 9-yr.-old son, however, is already a car freak, just like me. Maybe even worse. I hope he becomes successful enough one day so that he can enjoy some of the good ones... whatever they may be when he is old enough to drive. Fast and electric is my guess, but who knows. TM |

Replying to: tagman (Jul 04, 2009 3:30 pm) Yeah after I thought about it for a minute, only the A4 or the 328i wagons fit. They actually have more space in back than I thought. For some reason the cargo space listing on New Car Test Drive is completely wrong. The Avant has 50 cubes with the seats down, not 34. That's actually not that far off from the compact utes, which have around 65-75. The 328 xDrive wagon has 48. The Volvo V50 wagon has the most space at 62, but the T5 AWD version is unlikely to average 25mpg. I also don't think it's nearly as nice as the Audi or BMW. |

Replying to: jlbl (Jul 04, 2009 9:39 am) I talked to my cousin from Germany and I told him I will replace my BMW with a Prius and he immediately said why not a diesel VW, Benz or BMW? He was persuasive but not persuasive enough.

Replying to: 2001gs430 (Jul 04, 2009 4:08 am) The cargo space of the the Prius is quite generous. For such a small car with such a big battery the space efficiency is phenemonal.

Replying to: cyclone4 (Jul 04, 2009 5:57 pm) I think I'm gonna have to say that you're biased. The RX450 has the fuel economy, the AWD (kind of) and the space, but that's it. Every review I've read has described it as the Blandtastic 4(50). 0-60 in less than 7? Nope. Nimble, IS style handling? Uh, no. The A4 Avant can blow through the cones at 70mph, and hold .86g on the skidpad. The RX450 trundles through at 58mph, and can hold .76g. I'm sure feedback, on-center feel, and proper weighting in cornering from the wheel is also el-zilcho. It may be more exciting than the last one, but that's like saying that French Vanilla ice cream is more exciting than Vanilla icre cream.
