Help me buy a new car.
My beloved 2005 Mustang has reached the end of its life. 144K miles its time to move on. Going to start a new job with a commute across a long bridge over water. Going to miss it.


You help me decide. Point me in the right direction. Give me the great info that puts me in the right car.......I'll send $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
I want to spend between $30k - $40K.
Automatic
Got some style
Have to be able to fit in the car comfortably
Prefer a coupe


Right now I'm thinking new Challenger, Nissan 370Z, Mustang etc. Son is telling me to look at used Mercedes, Lexus etc.

What ideas do you have?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 03/11/2015
It's a done deal. I've bought and ordered a 2015 Challenger SCAT Pack Shaker. 392 Hemi 6.4L, 486 HP, 475 toruque, 4.1 second 0-60 time. Has all the same luxury "stuff" as the BMW and Lexus's.

Last years "Shaker" models sold out in 4 days. I decided if I was going retro, go all in and went with the lime green 1971 Challenger remodel. Bumblebee stripe and the Shaker hood. I deleted the stripes on the roof and the hood. Will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Dark wheels.

I gave $50 each to the charity of their choice to Bearcat and Miles. When Simply Red shows back up, I'll get his charity the money.

The Car arrived finally......

Turbo lag is the delay from when a driver steps on the accelerator until the extra power generated by the turbocharger arrives. A turbocharger is driven by exhaust gases, so there is a lag before a greater amount of exhaust gas causes a turbine wheel to draw more fresh air into the engine and generate more power.

I believe the power from turbo chargers is produced at the exhaust, so there's a delay between when you hit the gas and when the car responds.... in my 50-60/60-70mph tests, I'd floor it and there was a pretty noticeable delay. The 228 and 428s have turbo charged 4 cylinder engines.

Turbo lag is the time before your turbo spools up and starts shoving air into your motor

Say your turbo spools up at 3800 rpm..from idle at around 700 rpm to 3800 rpm you will have lower power..as soon as the turbo spools up you get more power..the time before your turbo is the lag

Does that make any sense

Delay big enough to make you change models, must have been alot. I'm going to drive a 428i this week and see for myself. Maybe this n00b won't notice it as much??

I think all lag I'd noticeable..some more than others..I have a turbo on my car and I can tell when it spools up..the amount of power and the acceleration jumps up quite a bit

I went with the 235 because I drove the 235. If you like the 428, do not drive the 435.

I actually wasn't considering the 428, but they didn't have a 228 and they have the same engine (even though the 428 adds a couple hundred pounds). The turbo lag was definitely a lingering thought, but the main reasons I went with the 235 are that it wasn't that much more than the 228 once I built out each one, and I know I'll never regret it over the smaller engine.

I first noticed it on the highway, and those jumps from ~60-70mph were the only time it was annoying to me.

Why nor drive the 435?

No idea if I'll like the 428 or not, never drove one. This week I'll know.

That right there is the same awesome color my neighbor has on his 4-door BMW. That color right there is so awesome. That right there is the sexiest car on the road IMO.

If only I was richer.....

Enjoy those rides boys. Good stuff in here.

The best strategy, IMO, is to drive the lesser of the two, and if it's more than enough power and you like it, go with it. Once you drive the 435, you will fall in love and there's no turning back (at least in terms of power).

I did not follow this strategy, which is why I'm getting a 235.

I'm considering the blue or black as my only colors. I usually don't like blue on cars but on those BMW's it just looks right.

The depth of that blue is like nothing I've ever seen on a car. I just love it. That would be my vote!
