Luxury under $35K

Buick LaCrosse vs. Audi A4 vs. Mercedes-Benz C300 vs. Acura TSX

Good article, but I would have liked to see something on Lexus I-series or BMW 3-series. Luxury cars are definitely not my forte, but for under $35K, there's some good competition out there,which is good news for the consumer

Out of the bunch in the article, I'd snap up the Audi A4 no contest. Not in the article, but second on my list would be the BMW 328i.

Other cars? Subaru Legacy? Infiniti?

I really like the looks of the Lexus I-series. I'd either go for that or the Audi

i find luxury to be a tad relative. if it has plush seats, air con, nice sound system and manages to block out a lot of road noise... luxury to me haha

By the way if you want a luxury saloon with good value for money it's the Citroën C5. Another very different story is if you want a sports saloon.

My debate is only between the Audi or Mercedes.
In relation to the Buick and Acura, they're not luxury cars they're everyday vehicles with accessories.

They do build something different, they build vehicles without accessories, and you pay additional $$$$$ to get those....
