luxury cars vs sports cars image
John M4
Which is the better overall car, obviously its BMW but it drinks alot more gas. What is your opinion?
Hop off man, I am fu**ing asking for opinions.
Answer
You're really comparing apples to oranges. The M3 is a purpose-built sports coupe, and the XF is a luxury sedan that just happens to come in Supercharged flavor. The XF is not offered with factory performance options other than big brakes, while the M3 is geared toward the enthusiast with many options and aftermarket performance accessories available. So a better comparison would be the Jaguar XKR against the M3, in which case it's the XKR all the way.
EDIT: Oh, and someone obviously missed the recent JD Power press release in which the Jaguar XF beat out BMW in reliability tests:

is an audi r8 a car you would drive on a daily basis?
CL
the other day i saw a r8, it was a beauty, but i just want to know, are those type of cars a everyday car, or would you just drive it for a night out on the town?
Answer
The R8 is meant to be a daily driver. It was designed to compete directly with the Porsche 911, which was considered the most practical sports cars out there, until Audi made their R8. The Porsche still beats the Audi at seating (4 vs. 2 respectively). Both cars are at the right price point for driving daily. Ferraris and Lamborghinis are too low and expensive to risk going out every day. And cheaper cars such as the Corvette ZR1 are designed to go fast, but sacrifice everything else like comfort, luxury, build quality, and practicality. Most of this is my opinion, but I'll use Clarkson as a confirmation as seen at the link below.
