I plan on buying a new luxury sedan soon, but I know next to nothing about cars. I jus want insight on good models that I can afford. I can spend 40-50k and a 5-seated midsize luxury sedan. I currently drive an 010 Accord.
I commute from Danbury to NYC every day...it is about 70 miles one way...140 over a day both ways 6 days a week is 840 miles.
You should seriously consider getting a diesel if you drive that much, unless it's stop and go traffic the whole way. Mercedes and Audi both have good diesels.
so my previous post should be your best options options:
1. E350 Bluetec
2. Audi 6 TDI
3. BMW 525d
4. Passat TDI - not in luxury but @ 1/2 price while very capable
Yeah if the OP is going to trade in their 2010 Honda Accord and drives that much on the FWY commuting then I would suggest looking at a 2012 and up VW Passat TDI 2.0 Clean Diesel would be the way to go IMO
Not sure if i'll put that much money in a car just to put 840 miles a week on it. I mean you can, I'm sure many people do but that's a lot of driving. Why not just trade in your 2010 Honda accord for a new one .
GS is my vote. It's really nice, redesigned, and cheaper to maintain than most other cars.
