Well, My fam and I decided to trade the CX-9 for a smaller car. Preferrably a sedan. Personally, I don't like the A3 simply because it is almost as big as the CX-9 (in terms of width)
Budget: $40,000
Considered List: Audi A3 2.0 TFSI Premium w/ no Quattro (built price:$32,150)
Lexus IS 250 AWD (built price: $32,145)
For some reason, BMW (specifically the 3-Series) is out of the question...
Any more suggestions would be fine, but take note of the budget. Also, we can talk about what any said car's advantage has over the other said car; a car comparison, obviously.
Here's a sub-topic that may help: What do you think is the best sedan or hatchback for under $40,000?
Thanks, UCP.
