I found a 2012 335i locally. I'll test that one today. Haven't been big on BMW due to late-life reliability and lack of warranty. Plus, manual/rwd cars are hens teeth out here in no wangland. It snows three times a year and without AWD, you'll never make it to DuDo. The newer ones are significantly more expensive than most of the cars I'm looking at.

That came up in the search results too
glorious ls based noises

Could go with that...
I am on the upside with the Rav 4. I need to replace a rotted out spring. And 3 out of 4 tires. I got a buyer. Toureg is not a V10 and needs no work to pass inspection. I have no car repair misery....
A coworker bought a V6 Touareg for $2000 off Craigslist. PO said that it seemed fine most of the time, but would just randomly die for no reason once in a while, and his mechanic couldn't figure it out. Just wanted it gone. Coworker figured out that the issue was that it had a split, two chambered gas tank that straddled the rear axle. There were two fuel pumps, one that fed the engine, and another that transferred gas from one chamber to the other. The latter had died, the upshot of which was, as long as he kept it over 1/3 of a tank it was fine. He's been driving it for 3 years trouble free.
I am pretty sure the Touareg is the worst of them all (and worse than most Audi, too) - mayyybe with the exception of the W12 Phaeton.
Run fast, and run far, far away from that Toureg. Even with a warranty, an acquaintances' Toureg has been in the shop an average of two weeks out of every month he's owned it. He's dumping it for a Dodge Ram.
I am looking at a Acura MDX now...
Ah, well, other than the MDX seems to be the car of choice for the most unpleasant women (yes, plural) I interact with, I have no input on that one.
The Sales guy said I should act fast if I really wanted it. It got sold. No Racing Acura for me....
Yeah those folks who can afford comfort and safety... I like the comfy heated seats...
The MDX is a great crossover for a hairdresser.
So what do you think I should get asshole? A big gas hog pickup truck? My dick is a normal size. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone. If I like something and I can afford to buy it after I do my due diligence. I buy it. No need to check with my buddies or my wife. Hairdresser is a Noble pursuit as compared to a Car Salesman....
you should roll the dice of destiny, and buy a early to mid 2000s audi quattro wagon
Air conditioned seats ftw.
I actually like our Infinti QX60/JX35. I was pretty suspect at first, but it has been pretty damn good. Enough get up and go, but the mileage isn't bad for a 7-seater. We got an after market hitch for the bike rack, way cheaper. You absolutely MUST get the factory warranty though. We have had issues with the gas gauge and that was a $2500 repair. There were a few other smaller issues that were resolved under warranty that covered the cost of the $3300 already. My one complaint is that the roof rack pretty much has to be the factory one. Annoying as fuck.
Just got back from Texa$$ and there are a lot of those infinities running around, at least as many as lexus. Inifiniti has had some strong showings as of late, they just don't always get the attention they should IMO, Nissan seems to keep it a little more low-key. On the other hand, I had to rent a Nissan versa this time and it was pretty bad, lol.
I found one in Buffalo. I am going to check it out Monday...
Wife really wants one with camping conversion. Need somewhere to store it though and the cash to afford it.
