Hello, since I’m still quite green behind my ears here in the engine talk, I probably make a beginner’s mistake by just putting the topic in here now.. so please be lenient ;-P I know some people are hurting this “comparison” (Mustang V6 or BMW 330..) in their hearts, yet I wanted to get some opinions from experienced people about this before I’m doing a nonsense. It’s about the following: I like both cars rough. I know that they are very different to I have already looked at a Mazda RX-8, Mazda MX-5, BMW Z3 1.8, etc. You can also post your opinion on this. Now to the actual matter – If you would weigh both weighings (or even all the above mentioned ones) against each other, what conclusion do you come to? Price/Performance, Macking, Consumption, Tax, Insurance etc.. I have so far driven a Mercedes C 180 k (extremely beautiful panoramic roof ;-)), so also also no boring car with regard to the PS and the look. Unfortunately I am still a min. 1 year student. The car can still cost up to approx. 17,000 Euro. However, what is enormously important is that the car does not cost me a lot in maintenance, because I still have no fixed income. But 10-13 l consumption was fine for me… In the end, the car can give a lot, also be strong PS and also cost a lot in shopping, but the maintenance, wear and other blind costs… I thank you In advance of your answers.
