need help...

Hey members,

I have decided to either trade or the sell the beast for a different car. One, is mostly because i want something that can be driven in the snow being that i live in denver Co. and the time of season is about to erupt and the other reason is that i want something updated i guess.

Its gonna be the toughest choice of my life, but its for the best. I know that the e55 is one of the fastest cars on the street nowadays and i sure will miss it. The only car that comes to mind is an Audi S5. (i kno i kno, its a major downgrade) or an SUV which would be a 07-010 Chevy Tahoe.

For those who have experienced these cars, please chime in and give your honest opinions or give another car request.

thanks for lookin

If you're looking at S5's you just just pick up a used RS4. That would be get my vote

E55 AMG
Getting rid of an E55 is a very hard thing to do. Being as young as you are, you could always get a vehicle for winter and save money for a second play car. I got rid of mine a little while ago for different reasons but am currently saving for another car myself.

Good luck with your decision.

An S5 or a Tahoe? That's kind of an odd comparison. Have you thought about an SRT Jeep? That should be decent in the snow while still letting you have fun.

No just the regular Chevy Tahoe. The Srt is not my cup of tea. It is a beast car tho.

Thanks for your opinion

Oh, btw, I had a 2003 chevy silverado for the last 7 years and just bought a 2011 gmc sierra. They are pretty much a tahoe with a bed. Haha. I will say that if you go that route, don't expect to have much fun. They are very comfortable and have been very reliable for me thus far though.

RS4 hands down. You will be giving up some space but that car is amazing. The only problem is those cars are holding their value very well. I assume its because of the limited production.

I really wanted an RS4 before I got my E55 until I saw the problems people were reporting with them.
