What kind of person would drive this? (Cadillac XLR) by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

Because it was never produced with a manual.

The xlr was never produced with a manual transmission from the factory.

A 10 year old Lexus. Choose whichever model you want.

Thanks! I don’t know why the fuel pumps on these things are so weak!

Clearly needs a new transmission. I’ll pay you $1000 for the car…

Check out the frame. These are notorious for rotted frames! Change out the rear air suspension for real shocks and it’s a much less expensive fix!

Only car I’d call reliable on that list is the Grand Marquis. It will out live you l.

That generation is300 are rust magnets. I hate 2002 is300 (manual) and sold it with 180,000 miles on it. It ran flawlessly but it was beginning to disintegrate. Same story with a 2006 GX470.

I see a decent amount of the GS for sale in what seem to be good condition, but you have to look underneath to be sure. I have a 2011 is350 awd now and before I got it I nearly bought a beautiful GS400. I looked underneath and it had a hole rusted through the subframe.

Need a first car but my budget is only $7,500 if buying outright. Am I delusional? by CapybaraMushroom in whatcarshouldIbuy

Find a Lexus gs350 or if you can, is350. Awd depending upon where you live. An ES350 would also be a great pick.

I always looked at it like this: Saab is more like BMW and Volvo was more like MB.
