[Maxus-MIFA9]

I will buy the Lexus ES Hybrid for Fuel consumption and 2500cc ...

 

 

[Adrianli]

BMW GT.

 

 

[Maseratigood]

Bmw! It's fast when red light turns green! Cheapest some more.

[Lanevomax]

BMW due to high OMV + Comfort = Best Choice!

[Vitaminc1231]

Audi A4 for me.

 

FC is misleading most of the times because driving route & style play a large role in it.

 

Lexus road tax pay till siao.

 

But if you can afford these cars, I assume you are rich enough to pay for these 'small things'. So go with the one you feel you like most. Set the most important criteria lo - look? performance? comfort? brand?

[Steptronic]

BM all the way...seriously our of those 4, I would opt 328 with highest HP!

[Kangadrool]

depends on whether

 

Company pays or own?

 

Expenses can claim company?

 

Got petrol fleet card use?

[Maseratigood]

 

 

Got petrol fleet card use?

Also depends on where he lives ------ if it's near woodland checkpoint or 2nd link, then he can ba jiu hu yu!!!!

[Adrianli]

I chose the BMW GT cos of the amt of luggage space available!!! Can just throw a full size MTB w/o any problem.

My vote does to new 3 series GT ........ cheapest among the 4 ... a big plus and recent model

[Kangz]

$249k can only get you the 320i GT, not 328i. The 328i GT has a list price of $274k.

Definitely BMW 3 GT. Would get it if I don't already have other BMW models. :)

Better looking than the 5GT.

Power n cost wise too. And of course, JOY....in Sheer Driving Pleasure !!

None of the above:

 

Lexus ES: still an overpriced toyota.

 

S80: prehistoric liao - came out in 2006.

 

A4: ageing model

 

3GT: Nicest of the lot but can't seem to justify parting $250k for it.

 

Recommendation: Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi Diesel

[Picanto]

Lexus is a world apart from Toyota. People who say its an overpriced Toyota has not owned and driven one perhaps?

The sound insulation and materials inside a lexus is much superior than those found in the common Toyota.

 

Of course Lexus do share some parts such as the signal stalk with Toyota, but this does nothing to lower its perceived sense of class

 

In terms of luxury car reliability, I would say its more reliable than the usual BMW and Mercs

Not any other Lexus.
