S5...but where to drive when u will be stuck in traffic
 
I took out an A5 Sline and S5 after work during rush hour...I was able to find enough room to get up to speed; the S5 doesn't need much room.
 
BTW...love the Audi (Delphi) magneto (wasn't he in Spiderman...or XMen) suspension.

What bargain 15K leases for May? by jaxs1

If I'm open to look at a lot of different brands, which near luxury sedans have the hottest lease deals for a 15K per mile lease?
I'm open to 2 or 3 year leases, but assume 3 year leases will have much lower payments, so I would more likely do a 45K 3 year mile lease than a 30K 2 year mile lease.
 
I'm looking for the lowest combination of total costs (lease payments + maintenance and wear etc.). For instance I know BMWs include free scheduled maintenance, but many cars with "Sport" packages and 18" performance tires can cost thousands extra in 3 years due to tires that don't last long and are ultra expensive to replace.
 
If I were to lease one of these vehicles, I would want automatic transmission, premium package with heated leather seats and moonroof, bluetooth. Must not have low treadlife 18"+ sport performance tires. Factory nav would be a plus if any would still fit the price range even with nav.
 
Can less than $450 before tax be done with $0 cap reduction on any of these cars with that equipment based on realistically available discounts in California?
 
328i, G35 sedan, C300 Luxury, TL, TSX, ES350, are some that I'd like to consider.

..... and hopefully I will not regret not going with my second choice: the new Infiniti G37X 4 door sedan .....
 
Mark,
 
Has a G37 sedan been anounced?
 
Thanks
Bruce

G35 sedan would fall in your price range...below $450 before tax.

3 Series BMW is quiet by jaxs1

I thought I might need to buy a Lexus for a quiet ride, but I found the 3 series to be surprisingly quiet. Not LS460 dead silence, but seemed about as quiet as an ES to me when I drove it regardless of what any db meters may say.
I ended up buying a 328i.
From inside with the windows closed, the turn signals are most noticeable noise at times:

You must've bought one without the Sport package. I had a 328i loaner last week (non-Sport), and I was also surprised at how quite the ride is. And yes, the turn signal is a little obnoxious. I've driven a 335i Sport and it wasn't very quiet at all. I'd still buy one, though! Amazing how much of a difference tires can make.
