Yeah, 510 HP puts you firmly at the top of the super compact segment on paper. You'd still get gapped by an M4, though, sadly. cheesy

Anyway, yeah. I don't think anyone really needs more than ~400 HP. That's already enough to get most cars to 60 MPH in 4.5s.


All these speed shocked, God forbid you drive for traffic, small Corolla/Civic go show 400 hp pepper when no be straightline movement grin

If you're buying a GLK, the 2013 is the year to guy. That was when it was facelifted.

GLK has best driving dynamics and is the best-looking of them. Maintenence will be most expensive.

Venza is cheapest to buy. Good car, nothing special.

RX350 is similar to the Venza, but with more equipment, a better interior, and better ride quality.

GLK if you want a good-looking car that handles pretty damn well. It will also draw the most attention. It's a bit boyish imo.

RX350 if you want a well-built, reliable SUV. Venza is if you want a cheaper RX350 that's slightly worse at everything.

Thanks a lot bro.
I would have chosen Venza but I do not understand why the price is higher than GLK.
I think GLK is a good buy for that price when compared to Venza.
I enjoyed Benz interior quality and design than other cars i have entered.
Just don’t want to draw a lot of attention to myself when i pass by.

From the words in bold, it's obvious you've chosen the RX350.

Heavenlybang gave you a very honest and detailed suggestion but your response showed you already have your choice in mind.

So, why come here to disturb the rest of the elders here?

350hp is more than enough for what anyone needs to do under normal daily commute or interstate travels. 400hp is sports car territory power.

Definitely. With just 300 HP, I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I felt more power was needed.

Hope you know, the parts for the GLK is more expensive of the trio, skilled technicians for the GLK is scarce compared to the other duo, and care is more needed for the GLK than the rest.

Let me ask this here. Between the VQ35DE and the VQ35HR, which is more durable. Looking at the FX35 platform (07 vs 09).

Since your mind is made on the Peugeot 307, then go for it and make yourself happy.

I don’t see why people already have their minds made on a car but still come to ask for people’s advice to help them choose.

Why do you always like talking trash. undecided
Lets even assume that you are a mind reader and you know their mind is made up. Whats wrong if they still want to know about other cars?

But he's right. It's annoying when people already have something in mind then come to ask. And even after you spell out the facts, they go back to what they had in mind.

Happens to most of us. Nothing wrong in wanting to know more. Besides its not by force to respond. Why will his contributions on this thread only be to judge and criticize?

Naturally as a human, you tend to have something in mind especially when it comes to cars, it requires professionals to advise and further convince you. You are not jobless by responding and giving details. Seeking to stay off asking questions even when one has strong zeal for a particular car is absurd and shouldn't be encouraged by you. Most times, huge money is involved you know.

Bro, ignore that troll.

He's seeking cheap attention. He doesn't even know the essence of the thread.

The thread is to recommend to people cars based on their options. Someone lists options and asks for recommendations. You recommend a car to that person and the person tells you he wants otherwise.
Is that recommendation? It's obvious the person just wants you to agree with his choice.
