I'm in the market for a new vehicle ( used, but new to me ) in the ~$20-25k range in Alberta Canada.

I want a mix of luxury, sportiness, and reliability. ~300 hp, 4 door preference, and rwd or awd.

The current option I'm thinking of are BMW 335i/ix, Lexus IS350 or an 08 ISF, Audi S4 or A6 w/ same engine as S4, Infinity G37x/s/xs/IPL. VW Golf R ( if I can find one a in the a price range ) or an R32. I might consider another Evo X ( owned one previously ) or an STi as well. Maybe a CTS-V but I'm not a huge fan of domestic. Also the years I could afford the interiors are fairly garbage. I am open to other suggestions anyone might have as well that fit the same vein as these cars mentioned.

I commute to work mostly, and just personal driving. I do like some power and performance though for when you want to do some spirited driving, etc. I won't be tracking the car. Probably won't be doing crazy mods either other than basic bolt-ons and a tune potentially.

I would appreciate some responses on experiences dailying these cars, ideally in a similar climate to mine. Opporating costs, common issues, etc.

Thank you very much.
