I would take Lexus for its premium feel and nice interior and more than everything "The Reliability".

[@MohamedQureshi]

Where is the beauty? There are no ambient lights. There are no smooth screens. There is no technology. Everything is non-existent and it drives like a rear-wheel drive Camry.

i was very much into german cars, owned bm3 e90 and audi a4, however now after owning lexus is250 2010 for about 2 years i can definitely say that my next car is going to be the latest IS 250.It is far more refined and original than german cars and as long as lexus stays away from downsizing their engines I'll stick with them

[@happ1chapp1]

Had Lexus 's for 10 years, never once regretted it! Never met a Lexus owner who said he would NOT have another!

[@APRIL2862]

I'm looking at a 2011 Lexus IS250 for $24,000 with 70,000 miles, jet Black exterior with crème interior here in Thailand, super clean!!!! Why so many people here in Thailand buy Mercedes is far beyond me, Lexus is a far better, longer lasting car!

[@danh4435]

Wow all these comments are about Lexus

[@gregbez]

Is there no BMW 320i in Australia? That would be more of an equal to the other cars.

[@ahosseini8119]

Wow no bias. Nice and honest review.

[@lexusluvvertyler4014]

Iv'e driven and sat in each of these and the Lexus had the smoothest, softest, & most durable leather while the BMW & Mercedes had hard plastic feeling leather that gets dirty. The audi won't last you for more than 2 years or so. The Lexus is a sure winner. Just because the emblem looks pretty on the german cars that doesn't mean quality.

[@hodl4lambo455]

I just traded my 2012 Audi A4 for the Lexus IS250 and never had an issue with it in the 42months that I drove it.

It's rare to hear someone talking shit about Lexus and not look stupid... they really do it nicely

[@shakeyzbbq]

Hmm, it's really at that stage now where you can't go wrong with either one. It's more about the badge appeal, styling and other personal preferences really. I'd pick up the BMW just because I have one and my family have had them a lot and it's just a more personal thing, even though I like all of them. Nice run downs on the vehicles by the way; it was nicely presented :)

you done well non bias actually refreshing i could appreciate the good in all as well as their faults but i would have to say the lexsus appealed to me the most then bmw Mercedes audi with cvt no way ruined the car in my opinion

[@caradvice]

+dodge ram (mb) Thanks, If you would like to see more be sure to subscribe.

[@anol18]

+dodge ram (mb) Agreed. I rented a BMW 316i for a day, a year ago, as my own BMW 1-series needed service. I was really disappointed with the engine, no torque at all, and the interior was quite dull. But at last service, I rented a BMW 320d with automatic gearbox... I loved it, what a car! - still I'm craving for a Lexus, but they don't sell them anymore here in Denmark :(

[@drewholm6113]

I have the pleasure of owning and driving several of these cars in diffrent trims. The audi a4 2.0 turbo Quattro. I loved how it wpuld pull in any gear and eat snow. It handled well and the ride did not bet u. I drove the bmw 328 rwd. Amazing handling and always pulled off the line but agreen rft made the ride ouch over rough roads. I also drove the is 250 awd. Ok it handles well ride is good but the 250 with awd is slow. The auto is slow to find a gear even in sport.

[@saadprince6853]

[@goaway7192]

toyota build quality is quite a lot better than the others. if you were planning on keeping your car for 10 or 15 years, the toyota would be the best. you can drive those thongs till the wheels fall off

Pity the ride comfort of the Audi is criticised, even though it has the Sports package with stiffer suspention, which isn't really fair.

[@josephcazzuto7198]

go Lexus. Can't be its style and reliability.

[@PR-fs9os]

[@AH6man]

Damn where did you get these watered down versions of cars for way more than than theyre worth? For the price of that audi you get the v6 model fully equipped with every feature, awd, 8 speed tiptronic, and about 10 grand cheaper.

where's acura infiniti?

[@tan9640]

Arghh imagine having to choose between the 3 germans

[@dfornik]

why IS not GS?

[@user-wn1vx6qm8q]

because GS = 5er BMW = Audi A6 = Mercedes E class

[@dfornik]

Recep Tirmik What about ES?

[@NickLiang]

How can you compare fuel consumption between these cars when they offer such a wide range of engine. Clearly price is not used as the standard here. The Lexus comes in hybrid too! At least in Europe anyway.

[@gde1989]

NickLiang this is a comparison review of the BASE models of these cars in this class. In Australia the V6 is the base model engine in the Lexus

[@johngondo9749]

[@BornventureGamba]

BMW ALL THE WAY.....thats my tag come rain come sunshine....

[@soaringeagle356]

Disappointed by all four. Notice in none of the cars his head rests against that seat. Why can't you naturally rest your head and shoulder on the damn seat while driving? As for the topic, if i have money I would want to buy Benz for its comfort, design and safety with bmw coming second.

[@codyninja7694]

Niyazov Nazir Hey you probably know this but the head rest in cars are specifically designed for protection not comfort. Not to soft and not to hard...im only a beginner driver of course but physics proves this...not trying to say I know more or anything but just a fun fact haha

[@-Muhammad_Ali-]

cody classified yes, i know the head rest prevents the neck from breaking when a car crashes into yours from behind. But when driving i always try to relax my head against the head rest. while at highways my head rests well in the city i find my headrest too far behind and i have to readjust my seating position to make for that comfortable head rest :D

[@matgab]

No luxury brand can touch Audi's Quattro. The best in the world. audi bmw benz lexus (should not be included, not enough status)

[@MrChonkers]

I agree. If you want to skid around roads and worry if you have passengers in the car, go for any other brand. If you want to be glued to the road - Audi.

[@Slimecrazy234]

lol Lexus has more status than Audi, which are still front wheel drive.

[@gpaula2232]

That's funny, none of these cars represent status IMAO. All these cars start in the high 30's in the US and are seen all over the place like hotcakes here in Miami. Audi R8, BMW M3, Lexus LFA, Mercedes S class, now you're talking status. Anyhow, who cares what people think, drive what makes YOU happy!

[@turboshottho]

Lexus can't even touch Audi. Base Audi's are front wheel drive so they can stay adorable for entry buyers. 90% of Audi's are gonna be AWD quattros and you can only get front wheel drove in the A3, A4, and A5 here in america. While AWD is an expensive option on the other brands, it's standard on Most Audi's. Lexus is where Audi was a few years ago.

[@Slimecrazy234]

Tristan Rios Can't touch Audi? lol they double Audi's volume in the US every year. And RWD>>FWD with optional AWD. An IS walks all over anything the A4 has in quality, drivetrain layout, performance/refinement, and reliability. Switchgear alone does not make a car. Audi will never play with the big boys with the FWD layout, especially in higher end cars like the A6 and A7/A8. Who wants to pay $100k for a front drive based car, doesn't matter if they included AWD. Considering they only sell 300 A8s a month in the US, nobody.

[@ssisakl]
