I wanna buy a car...help me choose.

Hi xpressodoc. It looks like everyone has an opinion for you here, but not necessarily the right one for you and what you want. SUVs are great for Doha, but I understand you wanted to find a coupe? If you choose American new or at least still under warranty, you should find it both reliable and covered if anything does happen. The problem with American cars is not the reliability anymore, but resale value. Their resale values can be dismal when you choose to leave, unless you have a particularly popular model that's in demand. Here's an interesting article about used car values, although for SUVs: http://www.qatardealers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7

So you can go with the Jeep or with an American coupe, but there are a couple of other coupes that come to mind. How about the Infiniti G37? If the 350Z is too small, the G37 at least comes with a back row of seats. And it's RWD like you wanted.

Another One I can think of is the BMW One Series, which I believe is RWD. Quite fun to drive.

Best of luck with your search.

It's funny to read all the comments about resale value and maintenance on american Cars, usually form people that do not have a clue about what they are talking about. Buy your american Sports Car, OK resale value isn't as good as a Toyota I admit that- but it is not bad. Why only think about Resale value, why not think about the fun you will have driving an american Car. It is so much more rewarding than driving a Rice Cooker.
There are also some comments on QL about expensive Spare Parts for American Cars, but that is also a myth.
Buy yourself a Bullitt(must be Dark Green of course) or a Mustang GT and be happy

Are you all kidding!!!
who advice for toyota!!!
you will spend the rest of your life in the service line,second can`t you guys see that he already hate front wheel drive means he like rear wheel drive (American is the best in that field 10th came Japanese & nothing in between no releability at all)wake up PPl before it`s too late, for prove or self test go check for Durango drive test.
P.S toyota Failed in the V6 so they make new GXR with a V8 cause car was toooooo much heavy for the Weak V6(Imagine a Japanese V8)HAHAHAHAAAAA ;D

............dancing!!...........dont give him wrong advices........as he is new here n dnt know much...........by the way.......american cars sucks.......i agree tht they r powerful but he is looking for maintainence free car......n every1 knows about maintainence prob with american cars n the main thing..their resale value.........which really sucks.......so brother....my advice is....go for FX35.....FJ is good too but toyota services here in qatar is really bad...........but FX35 is the best choice......with really nice resale value.....n by the way dancing!!.....GXR still comes in V6...n also in V8.........n stop making silly theories tht the body was too heavy blah blah.............n when ur durango will ask u for maintanence...........u will regret why u bought an american car.......same goes with its resale............

All you guys is recommending him a nice cars...did u ask him about the budget??

Huh!?!? The Land Cruiser VX has had a V8 for as long as I can remember and it's a lot smoother than any American V8 I know. My concern with American cars is build quality. They still can't get it right except in the Aussie built ones ;o)

go for honda accord coupe

hi there how are you ???

whatever you can get may not be the right choice ,,,,

paying too much for new cars may make you face the difficulties of depreciation .... so i recommend you to buy a used Chev SS Lumina ... you can find a very nice price and if you use it probarly it will suit you.. since it is australian made (another name is Holden komodor in australia) and it is suitable for high tempreture.....

and if you like i have a lumina 2006 as Brand new 22000 kim only i am thinking to sell it ,, but for you if you like to take close idea it will be nice to check it for your information and not necessary for buying it but ss is more sporty and very agressive more than others

KIA is the best option. Cheap & affordable. After Sales Service is good, not too much headache. Only 1 hour needed for oil change without any prior appointment.

Resale might be a problem, but i seen an increase of KIA on the road :P

Go for the E46 BMW M3, u get the 4 seats, a lot of fun, good service, liability, and style, just make sure u get a 2004+ model equipped with SMG II gearbox, since the 1st gen SMG was causing prolems...

Mustang, that's coOL.

If I got chance to buy car, I'll buy Nissan murano.
Sporty shape, good facilities
