New Car for mom

BmwRlS · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2003, 02:18 PM

My mom really wants to get a new car and she wants a wagon so she can have more space... so its between the 2004 or 2003 a4 quattro avant , 2004 Volkswagen Passat Midsize Wagon, or maby a 2001 or 2002 s4 she also thought about the 3 series xi wagon but i think it looks kinda weird...

so if you have anythoughts on the matter please post some cause i dont know too much about all of them.... and we are supposed to get one within two weeks...

ps: please dont just say the s4 cause i doubt she will go drifting and street racing ..

I'd go with the a4 avant with the 1.8t... i would hate it if my mom drove an S4 and i didnt... although i did have one at one point

but in all reality an audi is so nice, but i still came back to a bmer. only problem in your case is that she wants a wagon and i think the bmw wagons leave much to be desired.

325XiT. I've got one up north and its great. Much more fun than the POS S4's we drove, hence owning it.

I would recommend the Mercedes Benz 4matic wagon

This wagon is all wheel drive, available with a 3.2 inline 6 or a 5.0 V8.

They are quite nice cars, SOLID, reliable and they ride like a dream. They have seating for 7 and are HOT, for a wagon.

They are an edmunds top pick so you know it is a good car

Take it from a Benz owner, there isn't much better for every day

Mine is still running great with 105K miles:
