Default 2002 Audi A4 or 2002 ES300

I have narrowed my search to the following two automobiles. The 2002 Lexus Es300 or the Audi A4. Both are with $1000 of each other. My head says go for the Lexus, my heart says go for the Audi. The Audi is more fun to drive, but I'm sure the Lexus will be more reliable and is definetly more of a luxury car. I would be getting the Audi 3.0 engine automatic, or the Es300 with the base premium package. Was wondering what you guys think (pro/cons), and what you would go for given the two.

Thanks for any advice.

Dude, I say go with the Lexus. It'll give you more room, a ride one million times more comfortable then the Audi, a classier cabin....shall I go on. You'll love the New ES300. I test drove it and it is breathtaking. I'm biased, since I have an ES300, but the reliability and the ride alone are well worth the money spent. Plus when it comes time to sell that baby, your resale value will still be up there.

LEXUS !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lexus ES300 is a “solid” vehicle with “sleek” looks, a “smooth” ride and a “comfortable” feel. “Fun to drive” and “sporty,” this vehicle has the “poor” gas mileage and high price of a large engine car, but “dependability,” good handling and “quiet” “responsive” operation override the price for many. Reviewers recommend a “good warranty.” With its “style,” “fit” and “finish,” the Lexus ES300 is a “great and wonderful automobile.”

Default acura tl

Yes i have looked at the acura. It's a great car as well, but these two cars just seem more refined to me. I wish i could decide already. No matter which one i get i feel like i am going to be missing something. Either the sportiness or the luxury.

Default Lexus ES 300

Hey sam how much did you pay for it? I mean the Drive out price. I got my for $36,870 with the prenium package, with tint widows, Pin Strip edging, and full service for 2/years or 25K. I just want to if I'm getting fair prices, since I can not get a lot of discount on this new model. I will pick my up this tuesday, YA ! I just can't! Enjoy your ride dude!!!

We'd always like to see more. It really is such a beautiful car, inside and out. Plus, "real-world" pics like yours give a better representation of the car than the manufacturer's "glitzy" brochure shots. I've seen and driven the car in person, so I can safely say "Congratulations" and "GREATchoice" to you, Sam.

Cool Sam's new ride

Hey Sam, that's a sweet ride....thanks for sharing the cool pics. I've got to say that the ES300 has much more interesting styling than the Audi A4....and the interior of the ES blows away the Audi in a heartbeat. Great decision...you won't regret it.
