[quote=Anonymous]Hi! My family of four (kids are 4 and 9) is in the market for a new car. We have a minivan, so we're good on the people mover. We need a second car, primarily for daily office commuting (45 minutes roundtrip). We've preferred cars to SUVs, and are thinking we may be ready for our first sedan in a long while. Our current vehicle needs a bit of work that we'd prefer not to pay for, some of it safely related, and thus we need something in the next several weeks. So no ordering a car that may not arrive for months.

Our three past vehicles: Alfa Romeo Stelvio, X5, Acura RDX.

The only car we've tried so far is the Genesis G70. With the 3.3T model at an MSRP of $57k, we felt we had to go drive other cars. The engine was great, but the interior didn't feel to us like a nearly $60k car, especially given how many Europeans competitors can be had around this price. But we've yet to try the competitors!

Given that the lease market seems especially crummy, we're looking to buy. That makes me wary of another German or Alfa Romeo, as much as we liked driving those, we tend to keep cars for awhile. Our current second car is a 2008.

It's pretty easy to figure out which German cars we should consider. [b]But what if we wants something less expensive, say MSRP $35-45k, and with likely better reliability and lower repair costs? Are there there fun Korean or Japanese sedans with automatic transmissions in that price range? [/b]I think we'd be happy in something less posh so long as it had excellent pickup and handling. (We're okay with less posh: our minivan is a mid-range Pacifica.)

THANKS![/quote]
