Best mid-sized sedan on the road today?

[Guest]

I think Renault bought an ownership stake in Nissan, which coincided with their drop in quality.

I have had an Altima and a Maxima in the past (but that was bout 10 years ago.....so not sure how they have changed from quality perspective). I had no issues with them.

However, my wife had a Quest minivan about 3 years ago that was a total piece of crap.

Yeah it had to do with the transmissions.

It was surprising

Hyundai are becoming the best cars on the road. I still couldn't get one.

 

I would probably get an Acura TL if it was in budget.

When I was car shopping a couple of months ago I did a lot of online research and was amazed at all the complaints with the CVT transmission on the Nissans. Really sounds like a major issue for a lot of people.

 

I winded up buying a Lexus IS350 and couldn't be happier. I will probably be a Lexus guy for a long time. I love the car.

 

According to Consumer Reports, Motor Trend, and a few other rating companies, the new Tesla S is the best car ever made. It is crushing Mercedes, BMW, and Audi in sales. At $70K it is well out of my price range though. North Carolina is trying to ban the Tesla from being sold because it would create "unfair competition because of their business model of selling directly to the consumer.

Acura TL.

 

It's almost not fair.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Someone ping me when Tesla builds a truck.

Acura TL.

I really liked the older style Acura TL's but I think they are very plain looking ever since they went to the new body style a couple years ago.

[Hawk]

they might not be the flashiest, but you can't beat the ride and the power and the comfort of the TL.

[Panthro]

These NC Republicans need to be bitch slapped out of the 1850's

I have one of the older ones, and drive it like I stole it.

 

Great car, and first import I have ever bought.

 

Fun to drive, decent on fuel, almost no mechanical issues, and no extremely expensive regular maintenance.

 

Car will flat move too.

4WD extra long SUV for me please.

I was looking to get one when I was car shopping. Really liked the 2007-2008 models. After checking out a bunch of cars, it came down to Acura TL or Lexus IS350. I wound up with the Lexus only because I came across one at the right price before I found an Acura at the price I wanted.

You can't go wrong either way on those two cars...IMO.

 

I bought my 06 because I needed something better on gas than my Yukon Denali, as I was changing jobs and was driving more.

 

Bought it with high mileage, because I was going to do a ton of city driving and that beats on cars.  Have been nothing but happy, and would buy another Acura in a heartbeat.

 

Thinking of getting a Lexus GX for the girlfriend as her Tahoe has over 200K miles on it.
