I want a BMW but can’t justify adding a car payment to the mix. I have a fully paid off Hyundai that will last another 150,000 miles if I treat it right. It’s boring but reliable and costs me nothing except gas, insurance, and maintenance. I’ve test driven BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar and prefer BMW across the board.
Have you driven Genesis, yet?
I drive a 2018 G80 Sport AWD.
It's a 3.3 twin turbo with a great AWD platform. It is every bit as nice as my wife's Audi and is every bit as nice as any BMW I've driven. I paid $32,000 for it with 30,000 miles. Absolute *STEAL*.
Great luxury, quite fast (I used to do a lot of drag racing and had a purpose-built drag car, so I think I can comment on that LOL). I just have mine tuned and it's a blast.
The G70 3.3T AWD is probably more in line of what you're looking for. The G80 is a fair bit bigger of a car. The G70 has a fairly good bit of aftermarket support, now. It's the same platform basically as the Kia Stinger. Another great car, but just nowhere near as nice internally as the G70/G80 is.
Plus you get the Hyundai reliability.
