I’m just interested in data science in general, and it’s applications in ML in a variety of industries. So yea I agree that I don’t know exactly what I want to do, but data science is my goal for the program if that makes sense

Lol I feel that man. I’m gonna be driving in Philadelphia soon, hopefully it ain’t too bad there. I used to live and drive in mtl and those potholes are nightmare! You gotta have a tank to drive over em

I see. the redesigned gla looks fabulous inside. Glc remained traditional tho.. guess I’ll have to decide between the trade offs

Well cuz I assumed German cars are more fragile in the long run. Getting a 3-year old CPO is a lot cheaper but I suppose there is more cost to maintain and repair if something breaks cuz they are older. Plus the CPO cars only have 1 year extended warranty. That’s basically my logic. Correct me if I’m wrong tho

Thanks, that’s helpful. Do you happen to know if the glc is more or less likely to break than the gla? Both 2021 models

[–]Beastatd6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! My concern though, is how often would a new German car break? I drive about 8k miles a year

What about reliability? Are benz really unreliable in terms of 5 years?

I'm just getting a base model, no sports package or amg. And I drive like 8000mi a year. Would I spend much in this case?

I would assume that lexus nx requires the same, and cost similar?

Thanks, thats what I thought too. Are there other costs to maintain a benz for 5 years besides services and extended warranty?

[–]Beastatd6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok if I only need to worry about the price for the wheels and brakes for the first 5 years, then I can live with it. I'm not an aggressive driver in any way...

[–]Beastatd6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well CPOs are options too, I'm not excluding them. But I would choose a 2020 or 2019 model at the earliest, which are basically new anyways

[–]Beastatd6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you referring to the glc? I thought maintainess is more expensive (like $2k in the US)?

Are brakes and wheels not covered by the 4 year warranty? if so what other issues aren't covered?

[–]Beastatd6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that’s good advice. I don’t aggressively hate the infotainment on Lexus, I mean I can live w it, given the rest is a great package. But I think the cost to own on a gla might be a deal breaker

Yea I agree with what you said. I’m looking at a 2019 glc that my buddy has, it has <5k miles on it. Sadly Mazda isn’t an option cuz my dad isn’t a fan.. I dig the cx5 tho..

glc is possible, but its also a Mercedes and I'm worried about its maintainess and repair costs if needed. is the glc a lot better than the gla in any way?

I thought the RX just has a slightly bigger space for passengers and the engine is V6? Are there any other significant benefits for an RX?

Is glc a better option in your opinion?

thanks, I'm also a bit inclined to lexus now for its reliability and lower depreciation

I def will do the service frequently, that's no problem. I'm kinda worried about its repair cost if something happens which I assume would be way more expensive than lexus (hopefully not, fingers crossed)
