Maybe everyone can throw their opinion on here...
When I was in the market for a midsized sedan. I had a few requirements.
-At least a V6
-Had to have AWD
-6 speed manual transmission
Maybe I am wrong but there is nothing from BMW or Lexus that had AWD and a 6 speed.
The only real competitor for me was the Audi S4 which starts at $50k and the S5 (even more)
i would have LOVED to get the Audi. S4 S5 or A6 or S6, I would have been happy with any of them. But they are sure pricey and looking at maintenance records and cost to maintain. I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in an Audi for something that would be used for the family. If I wanted high maintenance costs I would just get a real sports coupe. For me it was because I wanted a reliable AWD family car that was still fun to drive (6 speed) and the TL seemed to be the only one that hit the mark.
Whats your reason?
