- How much power do I need in an SUV? I am about to buy an SUV. Some of my options are Audi Q7, BMW X5 and MB GLE.

- 7 seater recos? Another kid on the way. Looking for a bigger car. 1) Pacifica Hybrid sounds good because less trips to gas station. 2) Pilot and Highlander look comfortable too 3) I can afford Tesla, Audi and BMW 7 seaters and I like them more, but I am not sure if there is enough value for the incremental cost (f
- Fun commuter car recommendations? In Seattle and commute to DT Bellevue during peak hours with lots of stop and go. For those outside the area, 20 minutes on a good day each way, and hour isn't unusual. Currently driving a nice SUV, because it can fit three kids in booster seats.

- Turo (RelayRides) for Car Rentals Has anyone tried Turo (formerly RelayRides)? I've used it twice for personal use. Rented a Porsche 911 and BMW M4 for kicks. Would love to use it on a business trip instead of getting a crappy Chevy Cruz etc. Do any of the firms allow it for business trips instead of regular car rentals? I'm prett
- vote Car broke down, should I buy a new one? I live with my parents and work remote. They both have cars (bmw/mb) that i can use if i need to.

The expense would be compl
- Decent car under $25k Looking to buy my first car. Looking to buy used, certified pre-owned. Not looking for anything luxury like BMW, Audi, Merc. I don’t want to lease. The problem is that even used certified preowned Toyota Corollas with 30k miles are costing like 30 grand. Is there any other place I can get a better
- Looking forward to the first modern sports coupé Gas is going away. If not because of sustainability, because EVs beat the shit out of gas cars in acceleration and simplicity. In a nutshell, Teslas humiliate Lambos. With that being said, Teslas look like a stormtrooper from Star Wars. I can’t get over that iPad console. They are great, but I just

- Does an EV make sense for SF Bay if renting? Hi all, I have a BMW i3 right now and love it but I also have my own home with a dedicated charger. Looking to rentals in the bay for my new job and I’m just curious if EV charging is standard in a lot of apartments? I won’t be driving the car during the week if I’m on Caltran so I’d probably only

Note: Pricing is pre-negotiation, but including Microsoft discounts and the salesman “being nice” up front. Got a pretty loaded 2018 GLC 300 4matic quoted
- Indecisive about new car. For anyone who leases or finances a luxury German car, how much do you pay each month? Had a POS Nissan Sentra since high school that recently crapped out on me and now I want to upgrade. Not sure how much is too much to pay for a higher end car. Main things I care about is comfort, sound system and ventilated seats. Been looking at Audi A5/Q5, BMW 3/X3 and Mercedes C/GLC. Im leaning

Driving assistance (lane centering/keeping) 2. Compact SUV. I'd like to do some light car camping and chilling in the trunk at a campsite. 3. All whee
- link Future of Tesla? I'm not sure if there has been another company in our space that has been riddled with debates since it's conception. Their Model S outsold Benz S class on launch. For reference, Merc S outsells BMW 7, Jag, and Audi A8 combined. Model 3 reservations was a phenomenon. Perhaps one of the biggest pro

- Quietest cars to drive at various price points? I want a car that is silent. I don’t have a set budget yet, but I’m looking at options. What are the quietest car make/model that you recommend? I know that a Rolls Royce is going to be the quietest probably, because it’s got so much insulation and work into the sound cancellation. But I’m not tryi
- Auto insurance suggestions Hi, I am a Geico member for like 8-9 years. I have a vw golf and I pay like $120 per month. I live at Seattle. Now I am getting a BMW X3.

- link I saw I could ask for $185k or $190k base, but if I ask for $135k base, they just say, "cool, come over"? From www.levels.fyi I know I can ask for $185k base salary (and I actually got close to $200k base), but before, I used glassdoor.com, and they showed about $135k base -- somehow the numbers there appear lower than www.levels.fyi So what would happen? If the recruiting department and hiring manage
- Can I afford a 60k car? We make around 160k after-taxes. No debts. Have 15k cash, around 150k in investments and 30k stock options with Affirm (I could technically make 100k easily on 2nd market).

- vote Convertible, sports sedan, or SUV? This is a broad set of options but I’m basically thinking about what type of car to get. I live in California - and I’m in my 20’s. I like mountains and beaches and cities - so need a car to take all over. I might be able to avoid taking it to snow. First, I considered a Porsche Boxster S. The dow
