is250 vs. A4 vs. 325xi which one?

[ONEmike]

Hey guys my brother is in the market for a car. im giving him some help to try and find him one. so far we checked the
06' Lexus is250 awd
06' Audi a4 2.0T awd
06' Bmw325xi

All roughly around the same price. so far we tested out the lexus and the audi and hopefully look into the bmw. any other options around that price range?

Can't go wrong with any of those, but why not the G35X, which has more power than those 3, and a better AWD system, for less money?

What about the '06 Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quattro?

I was thinking the same thing. Your on a G35 site, and ask you opinion on other cars in the same class and leave the infiniti out? Maybe you just forgot to list that one.. look into it

Definitely the audi 2.0T

my brother doesn't want to get a g35x reason why is my cousin has it, so he doesn't want to have the same car as another family member. Also i asked on this site because people give good opinions and don't you think people will be a bit too bias is i post it on a bmw, audi or lexus fourm

also the audi a3 didn't really catch his eye, personally i would pick the a3 but thats my opinion. ill tell him about that option

I went through the same situation, and ended up with the IS250. I don't regret it. That car handles like a dream. Lots of fun, GOOOOOODDDD milage. I use it more than the G35C.

Hmm,
G35x is soon due for an update (so the car would not be the same as the fam mbr if he got the new one, but that'll take waiting). Downsides to the others- Lexus- it's not a BMW/ German. Audi- reliability stuff identified by many consumer sources such as JDP and CR. BMW- everyone and their dog is driving one (weird to see the dogs driving, but apparently they too are discerning).
Upsides- New 3 is a great drive, Audi is sexy and has an incredible interior, and the Lexus is what every Lexus is known for, reliable like an anvil. If I can't have the G, then I think I'd be at the BMW dealer

Got an IS250 as well, so that has my vote. It has an amazing interior and is a great car to drive.

Lexus all the way

Not to start things here but last time I test drive a IS350, it was quite small inside and almost no leg room for male adults at the back
I didn't get to test drive it, coz we went in the dealer in a group of 4.... but (at least the IS350) doesn't feel fast and can't feel how great it handles....
Build quality and material is certainly pretty good in the segment, but in terms of performance, it is ambiguous to me....

The 325Xi gets my vote here, good leg room, BMW handling, BMW power....
downside: BMW price......

nice yah we went to look at the bmw the other day but my brother says "the interior isn't as nice and luxurious as the lexus. i told him it makes up for in when you drive ti but he said he wants a nice all around car and is leaning more toward the lexus

[Klubbheads]

As much as i Hate audis i have to say go with A4 2.0. Better overall AWD car than those that u mentioned.

[mc2]

the audi interior is disgusting. How can that be considered a beautiful interior.

^ r u on crack?
