My wife's been driving a 2015 Chevy Traverse since we bought it in 2016, and she wanted a smaller SUV. She recently got a 2017 Lincoln MKX. I was driving a 2017 Honda Accord Sport that I gave to our youngest daughter when she turned 16, so I took the Traverse. It's nice but it has a 100k miles and I worry about the transmission shitting the bed at some point. I would like to get into an entry level luxury sedan because I'm old and fat, and that's what old fat guys drive. My budget is $22,500 because I'm going to be in it for $26k by the time I lose a couple grand on the trade-in, and pay taxes & fees. Here's what I'm looking at...

2016 or 2017 Genesis G80

2017 Kia Cadenza Limited

2016 or 2017 Lexus E350 Premium

2016 or 2017 Acura RLX Advance

They're all going to have around 45k miles and similar options that I'm looking for: blind spot monitor, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, heated and ventilated front seats, leather, sunroof.

Which one would you choose and why?

Out of every option mentioned, I'd go with the Lexus. Not looking into things, I'd imagine the longevity and resale would be the best. Might want to replace the suspension on the driver's side for something more durable for your fat ass though.

My father has a G80, my mother had the Lexus. Both nice cars, in my house we are Lexus/Toyota fans so I'd probably go with that but the G80 is very very nice, I don't think he's had any issues with it either.

I'm also looking at a car. Will decide in a few weeks when I know my employment future, but looking at this car in particular.

Hmmm I had it open on my browser and some cunt purchased it. It was a slk 350. There's shitloads of 250s out there but this one was a 2016 350 with less than 20k miles for 17 grand.


Also, them cars u listed r shite, proper NPC cars, complete rip offs for fuck all value. You are old and fat (probably bald) get a 911 or something. You can get one for less than your budget. So why have a boring car?

Get a XKR. Over 500 brake, luxury as fuck, and fast as an Aston Martin ( and as cool imo)

You will get one in that budget. They have a banging sound system in them too for your Wiz khalifa CD

I didn’t want to share my opinion in the OP, but the Genesis is my favorite. I drove one a few months back and loved it. The interior is next level comfortable. They’re just difficult to find within relatively close proximity because they make so few of them per year.

It's a lot of car for the money, and they are well made. You can't go wrong with it or the Lexus imo. What motor would you get in the G80? Don't be a pussy like my dad, get the 5 liter.

If you get a Hyundai get the 3.8

I looked into them and they seemed alright. They only had some 2 ltr girls version when I went by the dealership tho

Wrong G80/Genesis......
I don't know what models are about today.

For a cheaper option if suggest a g37 infiniti

Basically a luxury 370z but a bit slower. Don't get a 370 tho, they are a fucken nightmare for repairs

He's not a Nissan guy, he's not into pieces of shit. That being said, please stop shitting up the thread.

Your recommending Kia, dipshit, go snap your dick off in a bag of canine flavoured popcorn and settle the fuck down in the corner. Real navy got this.

Wild @Wild buy an XKR

Less than your budget. More bang than anything 4 times the price. Leather. Luxury. Sound system. Speed. Cool as fuck.
