Thanks AN, I’ve owned infiniti’s, I like them a lot. There’s one in my driveway that my kid drives and I’ve had a G in the past as my daily. I’m not freaked out about repairs, it’s just that my latest love (mecedes cls or 6 series) have prohibitive repair costs. Most repairs, like a transmission or breaks or struts are about three times that of their entry level models or the two cars we’ve been discussing.
notice the cost of each thing is double, 2300 for brakes or 1k for an alternator on a cls is a little worrisome.
dont hate on the 328, right now 2011’s are about 27k with 5 years of cpo (3 reamining +2) and a 2008 is 23k, with two years. There is value there, there is better handling and hp than 90% of the offerings on the road at a fairly reasonable price. I’ll go drive my final 3 or 4, look at the price, weigh my options and just pick one, like you said, you cant go wrong.
I literally drive the most boring car in the world 5 days a week, any of these are going to be “fun” for me. But my count is 3 votes for the 335, so I guess that’s where I’ll start.
