volvo s60 vs. bmw 3series vs. acura tsx which one?

[bizzo]

which one and why?

[HighFlyer]

out of the 3, I'd have a closer look at the tsx. haven't driven it yet, but it looks promising. also made in japan.

s60 - looks too bland
3 series - too many mechanical problems reported by friends/acquaintances who own this car

TSX- Never driven one; but on paper and film it looks promising. Can't be compared to the Euro accords because of the changes made by Honda. (According to the magazines). No station wagon variant; so i'm not sure why your considering it?

V60- Not too fond of the styling; but it drives well and handles reasonably. The interior is nice: no eye candy but it's laid out well. I found the manual gear shift odd; but didn't try it out. Plenty of space for it's size.

3xx- I'm a BMW fan: but I really like this car. Doesn't do to well IMO as as sedan. But as a station wagon it's size it vastly improved. Performance wise it's the hands down the best of the group. It costs more than the others but if you order a "reasonably" equipped 325 instead of the 330 you shouldn't be all that bad. As for reliability? Nothing to brag about but nothing to be ashamed of either :wink:

tsx is just a fancy accord isn't it?

[Chemical2001]

you want a station wagon??

[neospite]

the whole acura line are fancy hondas, its over priced hondas.... lexus=over priced toyotas.

If i could have gotten a german car i wouldnt give a second look to acuras/lexus.... BMW all da way, looks, style, brand name, its got it all.


Or try the Audi A4

you want a station wagon??

who me? no. i'm thinking of getting the rsx type-s, personally

[Chemical2001]

For some reason I thought Bizzo wanted a station wagon.

He specifically stated the Volvo V60 which is a station wagon. The sedan version is named the S60.

Unless it was a typo on his part :?

see I was trying to figure out why somebody of his age would want a station wagon. maybe you're right and that it was a typo.

Sorry, the typo was my mistake. He did say S60.

I could've sworn his original post had V60 also!

Ah well; station wagons are nice and are better than a SUV any day. What you give up in structural rigidity in a wagon you make up in functionality.

[bizzo]

i never said the v60. i said s60 all along. give me some respect!

i'm not a soccer mom yet. :roll:

Station wagons can be pretty sweet.. the handling of a car with the cargo capacity of a minivan

Maybe it's just my age talking though, I got sick of poser cars that couldn't fit my 6' frame let alone carry any useful stuff...
