Luxury sport sedans are fantastic automobiles, but at the same time they can be a maintenance nightmare. It’s the perfect compromise between the bland mid-sized sedan or the gas chugging sport utility vehicle. In addition, those very luxury cars are foundations to a rewarding and successful lifestyle, they have a timeless look and differentiate well with other cars out on the road. They are unmistakable in every imaginable category, but shopping for one is sometimes misunderstood, even a little frustrating without the right tools of information. Which car is right for me? Which car has the best reliability? And ultimately, which car will cost me the least in maintenance? All these important questions will be answered with a short list of some of the most reliable and inexpensive luxury sport sedans.
Japanese rounds out my top three picks with stunning good looks, great reliability, fantastic resale value, and they are inexpensive too! Lexus’ 2001-2005 IS 300 sedans look fantastic, have outstanding engineering that goes far beyond its 4-door looks and conservative nature. Low mileage models can easily be found for under $25k and are plentiful. Also they are available in an automatic or stick shift for some better driver intervention of gearing. Secondly, Acura’s 2004-current TL series are slick looking cars with some of the most satisfying amenities. With newer Honda products coming out, the TL will soon be ready for a newer body design, so that will help drive the prices of current models down a little bit more. Therefore making them a superior bargain luxury sedan. Lastly, Infiniti’s breakthrough 2003-current G35 sedans and coupes are a hot favorite with the younger generations. When they first came out, they inspired revolutionary styling and meticulously engineered platforms that perform with Germany’s best. They look good at any angle, and come equipped with comfortable leather seating that makes the drive a superb experience. Each of the three have styling that still looks good in any traffic landscape, and great reliability and pricing for some icing on the cake.
America has one fantastic sedan on the hot list and it is Cadillac’s 2003-2007 CTS model. With unprecedented success with its newest transformation, older models have never been cheaper. With cutting edge design and great engineering, the CTS has a lot of flavors to appeal to the most discriminating of drivers. Even newer 06-07 models can be had for the mid $20k level, which in turn makes it a perennial favorite in my book. As a result, the Cadillac CTS has all of the ingredients for a reliable and grabbing luxury sedan choice.
Value doesn’t come up too often for BMW, but its 00-06 3 series models enjoy some time on the camera for one of the biggest luxury offers. Aside for it’s timeless styling, the BMW is the quintessential choice for the beginning entrepreneur. Consumers are most satisfied with what the BMW has to offer, and at a great price as well. This can be attributed to a fresher new 3 series body style. Additionally, the 3 series line up has great engineering, faultless powertrain, and the status moniker that owners love. Avoid the 1999 model as it had more than its fair share of quality and maintenance issues. And keep in mind, the BMW has the more expensive maintenance tasks.
In closing, it was easy to find all the right candidates for the top five. They all shared some common elements, value (all under $30k), reliability, style, and overall satisfaction. They all hit the nail on the head and are a fantastic recommendation in all of the luxury shopping decisions.
