New Daily Car for University - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

georgejxu199 · 05-13-2019, 09:21 AM

Hello all first post here. I am a 20 year old university student here in New Zealand and currently drive a BRZ as my first car. I am likely getting a new car at the end of next year when I am halfway through my studies and the new car will be used as a daily for university. So need opinions thanks. The cars that I have had my eyes on is mainly a Mercedes glc63s amg which I could get but have also been thinking about a c63s or possibly a Mclaren 570s if the price drops a little bit by the end of next year. What do you people think? Please let me know your opinions or any recommendations of other cars I could look into. Thanks

Why not slum it and get two Audi S5s; give one to the professor who you think has helped you the most. You'd end up with a very nice car, and you'd be able to share your good fortune abd express gratitude by doing9 something very nice for someone else.

Those are vastly different cars. What do you like in a car? From the options you listed, the things they have in common are speed and luxury. If you go towards the Mercs, there is more emphasis on the luxury and comfort aspect, but they are a bit pedestrian and personally I wouldn't ever go for those two. If you're considering a 570S, and money isn't an issue, then go for it. You'll have daily excitement and something truly special to spend your time in.

Send over some of that Chinese money to me too. I am also your comrade.

Hey I am looking into something that looks good, is fast and luxurious which both have in common. Also from where I live all these vehicles are under 200k so it’s decently affordable. Anything above is out of my price range.

Could put a deposit down on the 2020 Supra..

If under $200K is considered "decently affordable" then you are asking these questions on the wrong forum!
What is wrong with just keeping the BRZ?

I took the bus at 20 till graduated from college. can't really give a piece of solid advice from personal experience. But whipping around campus in a Mclaren 570s is a flex, so I'd go with that.

I think the Nissan Versa would be a great fit. Who will be financing this?? The BRZ is a better daily than anything else you've mentioned. If you want to impress your parents, be responsible and get something more down to earth, like an Audi S4; don't make your daily the car that requires the most care!

gravitylover · 05-13-2019, 11:01 AM

The Mclaren is going to be the most valuable chick magnet. Priorities

I’m fortunate enough that my mum will finance the car for me but I will help out if I can start working at a law firm early on throughout my degree. Also I’m not trying to impress my parents. My dad isn’t really in the picture but my mum has looked into the c63s and Glc63s and likes those options and was impressed so I’ve already gotten approval on those two it’s just I want some opinions on other alternatives like the Mclaren I was talking about since the price range for these cars here are similar
