They have lost that exclusive factor. I bumped into an old childhood friend I hadn't seen for years, dude is working as a train driver and has a benz. If you just want to get around there are more efficient ways or public transport, if you want clout there are much better ways than a whip in 2026.

My girl has a '22 X5, and it has already had a bunch of issues, she regrets buying it, but I like driving it more than her :manny:
I have a '21 Rav4, not a single hiccup
I run a 05 x5 because I wanted something easier to work on. Copped it for $1500 and it’s been great so far the first 2k miles I’ve had it. She will cross 140k here fairly soon since I daily it.
Going to upgrade the radio and maybe do a lcd gauge cluster as well just to modernize it a little bit.

We're talking the US breh.


CLA's got swallowed up by people who still believe that mechanics at Firestone are trying to scam them with unnecessary maintenance and that their cabin filter doesn't need to be changed.

Cause the only thing that matters is that you can take a picture of your steering wheel.

I am aware that train divers get paid well and it's a very secure job but a Benz was once associated with luxury but now it's a car that any well paid worker can get not just the ballers. That was my point.

Its better to get the top of the line spec non luxury car than to get the bare bone luxury car. Get something reliable (Toyota, Honda, Acura, Lexus, Mazda) , you will thank yourself in the long run.
I've been hearing good things about Mazda , never had one

Fully Japanese made. Some of their models are built with the cofactory they have with Toyota and they also use Toyota's hybrid system. Only issue with them is their resale value kinda sucks but if you ride your car till the wheels fall off it doesnt matter much..Im looking heavy at the CX-90 being my next wip...
