Used BMW 328xi or 330xi sedan
New Honda Accord EX sedan
Used Lexus IS250 AWD sedan

They would be on the top of my list. User friendly, reliable, high resale value, great service, good looking, mainstream.

I would take a 328XI. Great car for the money and the interior is very classy and well put together.

Drives nicely, well balanced, decent power.

I haven't met a 328XI owner who wasn't pleased with his purchase.

What about an AWD Volvo or Caddy CTS?

i would like an is250 awd but i suggest a jetta tdi. 4k redline so not noisy with very usable power. very comfy and classy interior and has options like sunroof and heated seats. my cousin bought one and im impressed.

I'm in the same boat for a daily driver and i'm pretty much decided on the Lexus IS250 AWD, but i have yet to drive one... so we shall see.

i've found 3 cars within 3 hrs of driving distance -

1. 2008 Audi A4 2.0T quatro S-line pkg. has 49k miles though. very clean otherwise, nice looking car. $24k

2. 2007 Infiniti G35x, loaded inc. nav/rear view cam/xenons. only 16.5k miles, but carfax says it was in an accident. $24.4k

3. 2007 MB C230 Sport. 39k miles, SUPER clean, this car is from a legit source so can be trusted. Cheaper at $19k. Though it's RWD , so if i go this route i'll need a set of Blizzak WS60s.



hmmm.. i wanna pick from this list b/c we don't have much time.. any thoughts?

Legacy GT or 09 WRX can't beat real AWD for winter driving...or get a girlfriend that is more fun.

honestly with the 3 options you listed, i'd keep looking.

The IS250 AWD or the A4 are good choices. If leasing go for the Audi, if buying get the Lexus.

Legacy is the first car that comes to mind. Do it. WRX or Evo would be options, too... but look more boy-racer.
