Commuter car down the road
This is likely a couple of years out, but I'd appreciate thoughts on a car for commuting, which consists of 50 miles round trip of which 90% is highway driving. Of this ~1.5 hours of driving per day, half is spent on medium to bad traffic. Figure 12-15k miles per year of use. Not a "forever" car, just a nice car to put miles on for 4-6 years.
I am purposely avoiding cars in the M3/C63/Alfa QV range. Beyond the over-the-top unnecessary performance, NVH, and operating costs, I'd ideally keep this car to around $60k or less. But I would want a car with some speed, decent handling and a nice interior with decent cabin space. My thoughts are: New/CPO M340i New/CPO (>2019) C43 AMG CPO (>2019) E53 AMG i4 M50 Others I may be missing? |
