Would a new 2010 5 series be a good family car?




Broseph


Would it be a good car for a family where the youngest is 10 years old, and the oldest would be 47?

The 47 year old would be the main driver...

But like is it a comfortable car?
How about reliability?

We are comparing a 5 series to an e-class.
Which would you guys reccommend?



Answer
Im all about performance and luxury and the two cars that would be at the top of my list when it comes to luxury mid sized sedans would be either a 2011 Infiniti M-Class or a 2011 BMW 5 seires. The Mercedes E-class is nice but its not a car that draws my attention, sure the name of the brand is instantly recognized but the car its self is not, at least not for me. Mercedes Benz did well executing the interior design in the 2011 E-class but it doesnt feel as welcoming as the BMW 5 series or Infiniti M-class. BMW and Infiniti offer the best of both worlds which include Performance and Luxury. Mercedes tends to skip out on performance unless you opt for an AMG engine which will cost you thousands more. Youll get alot more bang for your buck in the 2011 Infiniti M37 opposed to all its rivals but on the other hand the 2011 BMW 528i sedan comes in a bit cheaper at an MSRP of $45,975 while the Infiniti M37 prices at an MSRP of $47,375. Both the BMW and Infiniti are very comfortable cars, they are also fun to drive behind the wheel. In terms of performance the Mercedes lacks that certian aspect in thier E350 sedan however despite the fact the BMW 528i does not have as much power as the engine in the Infiniti M37, the BMW still handles phenomenal. The Infiniti drives like it should for a car at this price point not to mention its basic model produces 330 HP while a BMW 528i sedan produces 240 HP and a BMW 535i produces 300 HP which doesnt come in to close to the Infiniti M37 standards. The BMW 5 series is a good looking mid-sized sedan, it has a very modern appeal to it, they used alot of high quality materials in the 5 series the only thing is you cant really see them as whole in the design of the car. The Infiniti M37 also uses high quality materials, the interior cabin is a little more upscale then the BMW in my opinion, they paid alot more attention to detail. Over all I think both the BMW 5 series and the Infiniti M sedans are on par with each other, they are just labled differently, its all a matter of preference cause both cars are great, personally if I had to choose one I would be happier behind the Wheel of the 2011 Infiniti M-class. Here are some pictures so you can compare all 3 sedans.

Im getting a job at a hotel ( minimum wage) & of course I still live at home so can I afford a range rover, Cadillac escalade , Lincoln, or Chrysler 300 ? I really have my heart set on a Range Rover! :)) & YES IM PAYING FOR IT MYSELF! & I want an up to date range rover maybe about 2011-2014


Answer
The only luxury car you mentioned is the Range Rover. The Escalade is a big Chevrolet with some fake wood and cheap leather. The Lincoln is a Ford in a pretty dress, and the Chrysler 300 is basically a Mercedes E-Class in which Dodge ripped out everything that made the Mercedes a good car and replaced it with cheap components...it drives, looks, and is built like crap. You are not going to be able to afford a Range Rover...the insurance alone would kill you, not to mention maintenance, the car payment, and fuel. An owner of a new Range Rover is going to be paying well over $1,000 a month. If you want luxury that you can afford, buy an older BMW 3 series or an older Audi. Don't count it out because it's not brand new. Even a 2000 Range Rover is out of your price range if you're only making minimum wage. Best wishes.
