[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi All - I've always been a fairly lame Honda/Toyota guy because I want reliable and low maintenance costs, but I'm now late 40s and thinking about something more fun.  At the same time, when I think European, I'm concerned that I'll be in the shop a lot and that will piss me off.  I could buy CPO Audi A4, for example, but I believe that's just a one year warranty.  I also keep my cars a long time and so that's a factor.  Lastly, I want a good infotainment system and so that's why I'm not really focused on Lexus, plus they are expensive, even used.  I don't see myself as a BMW or Mercedes, or Cadillac guy.

Basically, I want something sporty, yet understated, reliable and comfortable, good infotainment, and reasonable maintenance.  Oh, and I want to keep the total price in the mid-upper 20s.  Does such a unicorn exist?

Here are my thoughts:

2018 Mazda 6 - Inexpensive, fun and sporty, though not a true sports sedan, so-so reliability
2018 Accord 2.0 - Reliable, strong 0-60 times, somewhat bland
2017 Genesis G80 - Luxury, reliable, possibly too big and an old man's car, not especially sporty
2017 Audi A4 - Sporty, reliable, high maintenance costs
2019 Kia Stinger Base - Sporty, maybe too youngish, not sure about reliability[/quote]

tl;dr - I am having a midlife crisis, and want to get a fun car, but I don't have a lot of cash to spend on it.  Any suggestions?

Also OP described an accord as "somewhat bland."  Yeah, somewhat.  In the same way that Mr. Everest is "somewhat high."  [/quote]
