Best luxury car below $40k

[LAAFTERHOURS]

I will look at this market segment in a year or so. I own a volvo and wont be buying another. My time with volvo has been good but the dealership experience is enough to pass on them.

I like infiniti’s in general so the M is on the list. My dad by one of the first G20s, handed it over to my brother and got a Q45, sold the Q45 for a new G for my mom. I love everything about the M except the gas mileage but thats ok. I wasnt aware of the reliability issues mentioned above but will definately research and consider. I want an M35X if possible and love the new styling.

2nd choice would be a GS. Third choice would be Hyundai Genesis although having seen one today where someone removed the front grill for some Bentley looking grill, I didn’t like the look of it. I also dont like the fact that people re badge them with emblems. Its as though you are hiding the car from people. The package offered though is nice. Nice car and nice features.

Acuras are nice but not big on the new TL styling. My wife had a 2006 TL for a while. The downshift of second gear when slowing down (common issue) was brutal and the car rode a bit rough for my taste.

True driving machines would be bmw, mb, audi but unless its a lease I want no part of it.

If I could go past the 40K mark, I would be in line for a Tesla Model S.

I agree with sticking with the Lexus!

Lexus has always been very good to my family and I. Getting a new/used Lexus will feel great after driving the same Lexus for 10 years.

Replacing shocks will often make an older car ride
as good or better than brand new depending on the kind you replace them with.

Lexus is one of the best, if not the best IMO. I tried a Jag, BMW, Mercedes, Acura but Lexus beat ’em all. The exterior styling of some models doesn’t come up to scratch with its European counter-parts, but the interiors do. The Sat Nav isn’t as great as the Acuras, and the IS 250 models drag a bit around town but get ’em on the freeway and they purr. The Jag is basically a Ford, and Beemer and Merc interiors at the low end reflect conservative German styling i.e. little to no flare. Performance wise I’d think they are all much of a muchness, but gas mileage should be a biggy these days, and may be reflected in future resale values. Just my tuppence worth.
