Sorry some of us suffer from ADD and get bored with cars very easily! I'd get a new car every 6 months if cars didn't take such a huge hit after day 1.

Daaaaamn bro, I wish I had your problem of choosing btw Bently or Aston...

My next car is most likely going to have to be an awd sedan. Most likely be married with kid in about 3 years, so no more fun for me :-( Was thinking maybe G37x sedan, but unless the economy in Detroit comes back (and I still have job) its prob gonna be less expensive of a ride.

My lease is up Nov 2010, but at the rate I'm racking up miles (20,000 per year) I may have to buy it out just to avoid paying the excess mileage fees. Not sure, but if I keep up this pace, I will be 15,000 miles over my allowed mileage, and will have to pay $2700 in fees (US Bank charges $0.18 per mile).

Whoever complained about Audi reliability is right. My sister inlaw just traded in her 05 A4 1.8T due to many issues, and was in the shop every month. She now has a VW Jetta which is just as nice.

My previous car was an 02 A4 Quattro, it was literally in the shop maybe once a month getting stupid bank 2 sensors replaced, coil packs going out, and other minor headache problems. It was a warranty fix but I would go every month with maybe a 2 month span here and there. I drove a loaner Audi about 30% of my car ownership experience. But for some reason I still like the Audi's design and concept.

Same faith as you do bro. My lease is up on 2011 and might be married or have a kid. But the fun doesn't stop there if you let it. You can still have a family and have fun driving your car. For me, i rather get an FX50. Better interior, a lot of horse power and a four door to fit the family. It only depends now if you want to lease or buy it. I rather buy it, since this will be an investment. Hope this helps.

All you people with leases ending in Feb 09, were these one year leases?

I think the optimal point for me is 2 year leases, I still haven't completely gotten bored of the car in only 1 year.

I want to go back to AWD, i think I'm going to roll into a G37x Sedan after mine expires. The coupe is fun and sexy looking, but I've always had somewhat roomy cars, the coupe isn't versitile at all for the activities I do besides looking nice when it show's up at the clubs in Hollywood. The sedan I wouldn't be afraid to put racks on the top and use it for more functions. Plus I want to go to the mountains without grabbing our Suburban, X will take me there in mild weather with occasional ice.

Same here, I had a 03 A4 1.8T Q. I didn't have a ton of problems with it, but the coil packs going has pretty much turned me away from looking into Audi's again. I hear the 2.0T engine is much better, but I can't justify paying the same kind of cash for a 2.0l when I can get a 3.7l. I do agree that the newer Audi's do have a very "intriguing" look. Very classy.

I had a 01' A4 1.8T and a 04' A4 3.0 and never had any problems with either other then a couple squeaks and rattles. After my 06' M35s and now my G37s im probably going to stay with Infiniti, i just hope they have something fast when my lease is up on 11/11. I agree though that some of the new Audi's are great looking especially the A/S5 and R8

Haha, I agree with you... I mean, my dad drives a Bentley GTC, and I have the G37, but there's a huge disparity in incomes to be able to afford the difference!!! Maybe in like 10 years... But hey, if the kid can afford it, more power to him... not hatin'...

Im coming out of my lease on 11/30/10... just in time for the Christmas/New Year specials... probably going to a FX next, although I'm thinking about getting a super expensive and unreliable car and lemoning it after 1-2 years...
