Looking for feedback on new car purchase

540 is what I would pick not sure she needs the extra HP.

I don`t have any of the cars listed but the 5 series BMW would be my pick. My next car will probably be a used 535d. The diesel variant has got great torque and still get very good gas mileage. Your wife would probably prefer the new 540i though. Not too small, not too big, just right.

The drives will start next week. So far the Audis looked nice as did the Volvo.

All my clients that have had BMW or Mercedes have gone to Audi and say they will never go back. Lexus IS nice but everyone drives the same, no personality. Just did a s90, very nice car but I`m not sold on styling.

Life is funny sometimes, I have heard\seen somewhat of the opposite. My friends and people that I work with haven`t had good luck with their Audi`s, they have had a lot of shop visits. I personally haven`t owned one so I can`t say from experience. I love the look of the 7 series. At the end of the day I am a car person and my likes tend to lean towards the European and German cars.

I have a 2014 Mercedes E350 and the fit and finish is amazing, it has been in the shop twice in 3 years (Besides Maintenance). Once for a computer upgrade and once for a blind spot sensor that was intermittent, there was a small part of the wire that was exposed and causing false alerts which would have probably happened when the car was being built. The resale value also seems to be good. Maintenance costs are spendy though.

Out of that list my input would be a 535 Xi like Ron mentioned. I like to add an extended warranty on my cars so I can keep them for a while without having repair bills, if nothing else it gives me a piece of mind.

Visited the audi dealer did not drive anything. The A5 sportback has the all new interior instrument pack and it really kool looking. Not sure how functional it is. The back seat is tight if I`m driving. I`m just shy of 6`3". The A6 is a bteer size for me but the interior looks dated to me. And for all that $ there is so much in the way of comfort and convenience missing on the top teir of these cars that is in my Infiniti. Electric tilt and telescopic wheel. Cooled seats. Front facing camera. Apple car play is 300 extra and it`s built into every level of Infiniti.

I really liked the Volvo. If I get it I`ll get the 18" or 19" wheels for the wife but for me I`d get the 20". I just don`t want her stuck if a rim gets bent. Super nice looking car in the inscription trim
