lxslvr2500

Well guys...in a few months from now, the lease on my IS250 will be up and sadly I will have to part with it . It's been a reliable car though, not much fun but very reliable haha. In case if you guys are wondering, im still part of lexus family cuz my mom drives a GX. Anyways, I was car researching and narrowed down my choices to the above mentioned. I decided that this time around, I'm going to PURCHASE, so I want to make the best choice. I would really appreciate if you guys can comment/opinion on the cars listed above and give me advice. My requirements:

1) Looks/Design...What car you guys think is good looking from exterior design perspective? Interior counts too, but not as much since they're all luxury cars so they should have nice interiors

2) Value/Long Run Satisfaction...what car you guys think is the best bang for the buck? Which car will keep a smile on my face years from now?

3) Performance/Space? 2 different categories, but they're equally important. Which car has good performance in terms of acceleration and handling? I also need a car that can fit 4 adults COMFORTABLY. I don't want to suffer in the back seat when my parents are in the front. Me and my brother are 5'9 and 5'8 respectively.

Sorry for the very long explanation...please help a brother out!!! Please comment and give your opinions. Thanks in advance

G37 for me unless the interior is still plastic like i ead yesterday for the G35 sedan.. I think you can get the most bang for your buck with the G37 sedan.. Great HP, interior, and exterior..

well if you want more boring, you can go for the ES. lol.

the C is a good compromise between luxury and sport between those 3 models. I am a C350 owner.

None of those cars are gonna give you"Fun. IMO if your 250 wasn't fun for you go with a IS350 or ISF. Both those cars are nicer anda bit faster than the g37 es and c

you can have fun in a 3gs on 20's slammed w/ some bump in the trunk, cruising around real slow enjoying the beach and sun in socal.... at least i can haha

Out of those, G37. ES will be awful it's nothing like the G or the C. Absolute whale to drive.

Did you not want to consider the IS 350? IS 350 is definitively faster than the G37 and C300..and ES 350 (obviously).

Then again maybe your idea of fun is superb handling, in which case the ES 350 is definitely out.

You have to tell us what you value. Do you want straight line acceleration, handling, interior luxury, etc. These cars have varying degrees of each of these factors.

The ES is front wheel drive, don't forget that...

If you would consider ES350, then I would suggest just get another IS.

THe C350 sport has really grown on me.. The interior seems a bit small...

Why aren't you considering another IS? It's better than all the cars you listed.
If you are buying, most German cars are a bad longterm decision. Once the warranty ends, repairs are very costly.

agreed, but if its a lease, then it might not be a bad option. id still go with another IS, but this time try the 350. the g37 sedan and the c350 dont seem to have a lot of room in the back compared to the es350. surely the IS350 wont have a big back seating area but with the fun you'll be having, thats a good enough compromise in my opinion.
