So I Have A Feeling That I Will Be Going To The Dark Side =/

[BMW4LIFE]

okay so as most of you guys know...i have a couple problems with my bimmer and I think its time for me to find the new battle axe per say

well after a lot of research and many late nice conversations with my father and uncles and cousin I have narrowed it down to two possible candidates....

First we have the 2004 Acura TL...I will look for a 5 speed man but they are hard to find so its most likely going to be a 5 speed auto/man

this candidate is leading with 12 votes

Then we have the 2004 Lexus IS 300...I will be looking for the 5 speed manual as well is this but they are rare =(

this candidate has replaced the 2004 Honda Accord and now has 4 votes....



okay that was all cheezy and all but I really need your advice....I have done a lot of research but they all say the same ****!


I will post a poll in a bit....any info will help!!!

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to see which one suits your needs per say. I voted for the TL, The styling is very modern looking. Even though I love BMW's left and right, I always stare at a TL when I see one. I've driven a 3.5RL and it was pretty quick except for the fact I lost to a man. mx-6 in a straight line....started catching up around 110.

The IS 300 is well, nothing wrong with it, just doesn't give me a lasting impression of it like the TL does.

Either way your buying a Honda or Toyota, so, if looks are your deciding factor, then you should look at gas mileage, wear and tear parts and cost to repair/replace, storage capacity, safety and INSURANCE cost.

Hope it helps.

i love BMWs it was my first car and it wont be my last...but i might be leaving the state for school and need a reliable car so i decided to turn to the Japanese for a change but i wasn't ready to sacrifice the luxury part yet...i don't want to sound like a spoiled brat because im not and i will be paying for this but i drove my sisters accord after my e34 and was about to puke!

once you get that DDS go back for another 4 years of school to become an oral surgeon and you'll be pulling in more than $10,000/day...

The lexus is at least rear drive, isn't it?
As soon as the newness of either wears off you will realize it has all the soul of a refrigerator.
This is a really, really awful choice you are asking me to make here.
