因为俺开车太恐怖,驾照被俺师傅吊销,改坐火车。但感觉坐火车上下班有诸多不便,除了更加努力参与师傅的周末汽车三部曲:maintaining- marveling – cruising 外,每天在车坛上回帖请师傅给打分算是bonus,师傅说俺精神可嘉好学上进,会考虑对俺从宽处理。俺已经多次要求买辆新车。
师傅说买一辆车象是增加一个家庭成员,是建立一个long term relationship,这咋就听上去像是找恋人呢?有那么严重吗?师傅还说买的车应该反映开车人的形象,问什么是Corvette的形象时,被告知是powerful, good looking,tactic,maneuvering。
别说,这车和自我形象问题相结合的问题俺还真没想过。 这是俺第一次买新车,特别慎重。大家给了很多好意见,所以那尼桑GTR就算免了。师傅特别爱国,所以偏爱美国车,可俺们中国人比较中立,看重性能与质量,所以俺特别看重车坛弟兄们的建议。下面是一些买车的参数供大家参考:
价格预算:$40,000-70,000。
车的类型:考虑到师傅维护车的辛苦,准备将代步通勤车与豪华享受车合二为一,所以一定要有较高的gas mileage,而且必须是自动因为俺不会开手动。
车的出身:美国,日本,欧洲都可以考虑。师傅很爱国,除了Corvette, Doge外, 买了一部尼桑卡车又时不时地觉得对不起美国汽车工业;还说开欧洲车有点故意显摆,有觉得自己比别人强的嫌疑,但也时时于不在意间流露对一些欧洲车的喜爱。有网友推荐过BMW M6,但太贵的车俺买不起。
车的用途:
1)上下班,往返大概50 – 60 英里,经常塞车,高速为主,也有一段城里。
2)周末节假日去各种吃喝玩乐朋友聚会场合
3)周末短途出游看世界,大概几百里
俺的形象:(如果这也与选车有关的话)
性别:女。 职业:医生。 讲究时尚和个人风格,五官看上去比较舒服,一付神气活现的样子。
谢谢。俺期待着大家的建议。
感谢,请查收我刚刚寄去的的悄悄话。
For some reason I do not understand, X5 is much better on reliability than 5 series like 540i. I need to go the dealership three to four times a year for my 540i and my wife's X5 has been problem free for almost two years now, I thought they use the similar parts.
If you want reliable but 豪华, Toyata(Lexus) will do a nice job. My 2002 sequoia has 65000 miles, never has a trace of problem, runs so smooth every morninig. Lexus GS450 H should give you nice mileage like 28 mpg, easy to drive but not as fun as the Bimmers.
Or if you really like to have some fun since you drive 60 miles a day, buy the BMW M3 or the Lexus IS-F, both are V8 compact sport sedan and lot of fun to drive. You may feel the 通勤 distance is too short.
Pucnh line: Go with the GTR, it has the dual clutch which can be fully automatic like normal cars. Check the link,

After I get my second and third year stock options I will get one with RED!
Since I spent so much to type these in, would you tell which car you bouhgt later?
