[QUOTE]Originally posted by EPIK: [QB] So I am thinking about getting a new daily driver, & want to see what some of your opinions are. The car has to be V8, RWD/AWD, & manual trans, in the $18K-$24k price range. Of course if I get 1 of these cars, it means the Mach will have to go bye bye, but I will still have the Notch, so I won't be stangless. Just need a car that is more practical, comfortable, & something I can take on long trips... I absolutely love my Mach, but I am sick of making payments on a car that I only drive 8 or so days a month, & its not very comfortable or practical. I have never thought about getting rid of the Mach until lately. Although keeping it would be the cheapest & easiest option, but I just feel I need a car I can hop in & drive without worries of scraping, bumpy rides, or worrying about putting too many miles on it.... Anyhow, here are the cars I am thinking of. I'm not going for the fastset car, since my Notch will end up being the track warrior, so keep in mind, I want a relatively fast car, but comfortable, roomy, & reliable... 04-05 Cadillac CTS V= 400hp LS6, T56 six spd. This 1 would probably be the best value, is cheaper maintanance wise, & would most likely be the fastest.

I love the sleeper-ish looks, the interior is sexy, & the suspension is top notch. This would be the slowest though.

This would be my favorite, but the maintanance & reliability scares me...

Keep the Mach??? If I do end up keeping the Mach 1, it will most likely get the IRS rear that I have been thinking about since I think this is the only thing that will make it a more enjoyable street cruiser.... Thoughts??? [/QB][/QUOTE]
