A Vehicle To Own With PrideSource: MSN Autos...I love the design but I've noticed it can be really hit or miss depending on taste. It is designed for younger people. The minivan styled wipers are a little different. Also Honda includes very weird things as standard and optional, I wasn't aware in this day and age power windows were standard while power locks were optional. It would also be nice if a center arm rest was included or floor mats also (should be at any trim level). Overall: Seems to be the typical Honda, fill it with gas and change the oil, it'll last a lifetime. It might be slightly overpriced compared to similiar vehicles... |

Great car - great looksSource: Cars.com
..."I have a 95 Lebaron and it is great. Make sure you change the oil frequently and the tx fluid (make sure you use the right fluid - the owners manual has an error) and the car will last forever. |

Enjoy the rideSource: MSN Autos...Pros: Love it. Cons: Difficult to hide your smile driving the car. Is this a cons? Overall: It is a beautiful car... |

BAD GAS MILEAGESource: MSN Autos
...Pros: I like the way it looks and the room inside the car.The pick up is good. |

Great choiceSource: MSN Autos...Strong residudal, plus dealer (Willis in Des Moines) made this a great deal! Cons: Small nitpicks- Nav system must have been designed by lawyers- several functions are disabled when car is in motion- voice command not nearly as functional as Acura TL- for example, only climate control option via voice in Infiniti is "on" or "off" whereas Acura lets you adjust temperature, fan level, etc., - same goes for radio controls- Acura very much better. Owner's manual resembles Chicago telephone book- takes up too much of an already small trunk. I wish the rear seat would split and fold down-- Gas... |

Fun reliable carSource: Cars.com
..."Even though this car is a convertible it has amazing air conditioning when the roof is up and it is hot outside. |

Can't recommend the g37xSource: MSN Autos...Brakes were bad on delivery and the dealer had to replace the rotors. Next the car started downshifting at 20 mph so the car won't let you coast when you need to. It is very annoying and impossible to give anyone a smooth ride. It is especially noticeable if you're in traffice around town at around 25 mph and it decides to downshift on you. When you get back on the gas you feel a hard shift and even a bit of a bounch like you're ridding with someone who doesn't know how to shift a standard. I'm so fed up that I'm considering trading it in for a 328xi which gives a much smoother ride. Overall:... |

The Japanese edition of BMWSource: MSN Autos...By far, it has the best performance and deal than comparing with others. This car is just like the Japanese version of BMW. Cons: None yet, but I would like to see a slight noticeable exterior change difference between 2008 and 2009, since 2009 edition has changed for better engine and transmission. Overall: I think the rating for this car in MSN auto is just way too wrong about it. It should be more than 7 or 8. I supposed whoever so called "pro" reviewed in MSN does not like Infiniti at all. I drove the new 2009 edition of C350, IS350, TL, and 335i. This car sure has more punches and agile... |

Very basic reliable carSource: MSN Autos...Overall: I bought this car in 2004 when it was 7 yrs old and it had 110,000 miles on it. I bought it because I read many reviews that Hondas are reliable vehicles and it hasnt dissapointed me. The car is now 12 yrs old with 160,000 miles and it still gets me where I need to go. I know it has alot of cons but with regular maitenance this car will last you a long time. The exterior paint has faded badly but my interior still looks great. All of the door handles and instuments in the car where well crafted, nothing has broke. To sum it all up this was probably a great car back in 1997. There is... |

Perfect for comfortable daily driving and weekend track daysSource: MSN Autos...The electrical system becomes a nightmare once modifying begins. I have a whole new computer in the car and if anything is off by 0.5volts the car does all sorts of weird things and is a wild goose chase until you can find the lose or broken wire. Overall: This will probably be a car I keep for a very very long time... even if it just rots in storage somewhere to be restored years later. The car is very solid; mine has been supercharged for 3 years with 100+hp from stock and mechanically the car never has said a peep. In stock form you can beat on the VQ engine all day and it will take the... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Infiniti G37 is a relative newcomer but has impressive handling, perfect sport-sedan proportions, and available all-wheel drive.
It's also substantially less expensive than the German sedans.
The BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class are the perennial leaders in this segment.
Both come in a range of body styles and drivetrains, and they have ultimate-performance editions—the BMW M3 and the Benz C63—that the Lexus IS-F version takes on.
