I don't want to ride my bike everywhere, I need a new car.

[vengie]

Well I listed my old car for what I thought was a lofty price.
Turns out it must have been relatively fair as I had someone pay cash for full asking less than 24hours after listing it.

As such, I need a new daily driver.
I'm looking to get back into a vehicle with a little more zip, my love of cars has waned terribly over the past several years and I'd like to rejuvenate the spark.

Musts
Budget <$25,000
Room for 2 car seats
Fun-ish
Automatic
Reliable as always

Cars on the list
Audi B8 S4
Lexus IS350
Infiniti G37/ Q50

Anything else I should be looking at?

If you are going to put B8 S4 on this list, why not C43 and 340xi as well. Frigging BS S4 ain't reliable til you hit 2014 model year anyway.

IS350 is going to be tight with 2 car seats.

I actually really like the Fiesta ST.
Very fun little car!

Being a DD thought I would prefer automatic.

You may also be in the same market I am, but because we might be saving for a new house. No for me at the moment.

Mercedes CLS550 or E550. From what I've researched look for one newer than 2014. Early version with the 4.7TT had problems but the later ones are good.
G37 and Q50 prices are so inflated right now.

I gotta chime in with another TL SH-AWD option....

@tonytiger55

Interesting option, what makes you say this?

[riander5]

Yeah where was @rage2 saying that the E550's can be tuned to blow the doors off an E63.

So what then, 2012 - 2014 e550?

That one is tempting. High kms but 2012-2014 are the problem years (allegedly). Renntech stage 2 and full exaust, you're flying 540hp 700ft/lbs
