Daily Driver ideas

sometorque · 08-23-2016, 06:25 PM

Hey guys, wanted to run this one by the peanut gallery. I commute about 70 miles a day and with how fast the miles are racking up on my 135i, am gearing up to purchase a daily driver to serve as the workhorse. Here are my requirements:

-8k budget (will be buying cash)
-ideally under 100k miles, but would be ok with a 100k+ mile car with service history
-luxury-ish
-reliable
-decent gas mileage

The short list so far:
-Acura TSX (the winner so far)
-Acura TL
-IS300

The idea is something that looks presentable that I can show up to for a client meeting, get me reasonable gas mileage and be reliable. Really leaning towards a first-gen TSX, as they're a dime a dozen with under 100k miles on Craigslist and I know those K-series motors like the back of my hand, but am curious to hear a few other ideas thrown my way. Thanks guys!

B5 S4 can be had for that money and with a $500 tune is proper fast. There's one in WA right now w 60k miles in your budget. They come up with low miles every now and again.
