What Car Should I Buy?

Auto, let me start this off by saying I do not know shit about cars.

Im in my 20s, make 100k+ and have had a boring life up until now. I have zero friends and want to live my life a little.

What sports car/luxury car/crossover should I buy?

I like:
Porsche Cayenne
C6 Corvettes
Mercedes E Class
Tesla Model 3

I'm open to weird shit too.

Just to give you an idea.

    get a trug. After you buy your first trug you never want to drive anything else.

    1. Skip the krautmobiles (Porsche + anything owned by vw, merc, bmw) as the 'muh maintenance costs' thing is real. I've made 100k+ for a few years and my 4 pot bimmer is killing me just in parts, i can't imagine if I were paying for labor.

    2. Tesla's are fast but shit build quality for the money, and they never deliver their range as advertised let alone with age (ever have a cell phone for a couple years that starts dying way earlier than it used to? Now imagine that's your car and $20k to get a new battery. )

    3. Crossovers ('compact SUVs, or whatever name they try to sellv them under) are a meme and usually just a way to sell a car with fender flares for an extra $5-10k. Minivans are unironically better in every way.

    4. C6 is a based choice, and from your list what I'd pick without a second thought. They are solid to drive and cheaper to both buy and maintain than anything similar. Fyi, a camaro SS from like '11 up has the same (amazing) LS3 engine, along with a backseat and often a lower price tag. Won't handle quiet as good as the 'vette in the corners but still leagues above a pig fat crossover or Tessie with a literal ton of lithium on board. Food for thought.

      corvette is cool but I travel for work pretty regularly. i would feel shitty putting 200 miles a week unnecessarily on the thing.

    I'm buying my first ever car now, its a Kia Rio 2011 1.1cdi diesel, small and and handy car. My male cousin however immediately recoiled at the mention of it, said he was forced to drive that "piece of shit" for a living for 4 months before he kicked out its windscreen to have room to leave the car, at which point he was fired. He called it an insufferable sardine can without power, bad manual transmission, but its saving grace were good controls.
    Does he have such vitriol because he is somewhere between 6'4 to 6'5 and just cant fit inside it? Or is the car genuinely bad?
    Is this even the right thread to ask. I just want to drive to work and back and do groceries with it.

    you say you don't know shit about cars, but do you like cars? Do you usually enjoy driving?

    If you enjoy driving, get a porsche. They make great driver's cars. Not the fastest for the money, but the best feeling for the money. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdJYiRROeAc.

    If you're not *that much* into driving but want a fun sports car, the C6 corvette is a great option. Easy to drive fast or slow. Looks and sounds like an exotic even crawling in traffic, and it is as quick as anything on twisty roads and race tracks. The only downside is that it won't feel like a scalpel while doing so (unlike a porsche). If you don't care about how it feels and just want to go fast, and look fast, this is the best.

    If you hate driving and want something that gives off the image of a cool car get a model 3, or anything with a well calibrated radar cruise control, like a lexus. That'll be great for traffic jams.

      great comment. i cant afford a 911, what porsche would you recommend? really like the look of the cayenne turbo, but it's nearly as expensive as a 911.

        They all feel solid and have precise handling.
        Macans are good if you don't need the size of a cayenne/panamera but want 4 doors.
        I personally like caymans and boxsters. Be aware that the next generation cayman/boxster is coming soon and it's rumored to be EV only, so if you buy a new one now, you'll be getting one of the last ICE ones (which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending how you feel about EVs)

    OP I would say before you buy take the time to explore the car world and what kind of driving experience interests you/suits your environment. Play gran turismo or forza or something. If you love handling and twisty roads, porsche, maybe even something like a lotus if you can get your hands on one. New miata is good too and the new brz too but those may be a bit budget for you. I don't care what anyone says I would absolutely lease a new BMW M car. Lease that shit and do not buy. Never tried one but everyone says they're great to drive especially any with the manual transmission. If you like muscle, a new mustang GT, or fully specced manual widebody hellcat challenger would be sick too if you don't mind the floaty boaty feeling.
    If I had your money I would buy something moronic and unreliable like an evo 9 or bugeye sti and larp as a rally driver lel. It really depends on what you like.

    If you want to learn stick get a 2019+ Mazda MX-5
    If you want something comfy and reliable with a great sounds system get a Lexus RX or LS
    If you want to throw your money away get a German car. Good cars but money pits
    Idk much about Corvettes. They’re alright I guess
    Tesla seems alright if you can charge at home

    Buy a decent, low mileage yet slightly 'old' and depreciated M/RS/AMG/CTSV/Corvette for under ~$20k or so and invest the rest into an income property/land instead of a depreciating asset.

    Pic related can be had with under 100k miles for under $15k, for instance, and you even get a Lamborghini derived V10 out of it.

      what about a 2013-2016 v8 merc s550 with like 30k miles?

        Actually a pretty good car, the 550's of that era are somewhat underrated because they come with easily tuneable (and pretty stout) twin-turbo V8s and available AWD. There are drop-in tunes that give you around 550hp and well over 600lb/ft torque with no other performance modifications at all, so you can essentially have AMG performance without the price, and with a bit of added sleeper flair.

        I happen to think the W222 still looks far better than the 'new' W223 and it's chinky looking headlights and gloss black trim + Tesla copycat screens, too.
