If you want cheap and decent, try Volkswagen. We use them for company cars and have had great luck with them. I have several employees that drive Tiguan's and love them. They also have really cheap finance and lease deals almost always going on. Plus, you are kind of still in the family!

Anyone know of any brands that do leases with so few miles (other than premium brands like Porsche—not looking to dump a ton of dough on the second car)?
All brands do leases w/ low miles. I would recommend the Mercedes-Benz E400 Estate, or BMW 330 Touring.

EDIT.

Can confirm. mk VII GTI is easily the best fun, cheap, reliable car you can get your hands on. And IMO better than the R. Sorry but 40k for a golf is a tad much IMO.

He already answered me. Look at the cars in his sig. The GTC4Lusso is the most popular 4 seat V12 Ferrari so far.

Picked up a 2018 BMW 330i station wagon. It’s a Goldilocks car. Not too big, not too small. Comfortable and practical, but taught and quick enough. Not too flashy but not too schluby. Good tech. Good value. A nice compliment to the GT3.

I am going from a 2014 E63 S wagon to a 2018 E63 S wagon.

from this.....


To this....
congrats! What a sick combo of cars. A GT3 and that... must be hard to choose which one to take out. Those are my two favorite cars. Period.

Excellent choice. People see the big wing and miss the fact that engineering-wise, it's more mature than its competitors. Its whole performance, fun, comfort, and reliability envelope is bigger.

http://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda...omparison/amp/
Summary: The Type R brakes better, accelerates better, handles better, has a more comfortable ride, is faster around a race track, is better to drive on the street and commute in, is more fun to drive, is going to be more reliable, gets better gas mileage, and is cheaper than the Golf R, Focus RS, and WRX STI Type RA.

I also think it compares favorably with the Audi S3, BMW M2, and Merc AMG GLA 45.

But maybe I'm biased, I have one coming a week or two!

In complete agreement. It's nice to have room in a daily driver and be able to throw appliances, TVs, or bikes in the back of a hatch. But, for me at least, I'd prefer not to have to parallel park an SUV. So compact/midsize wagons are where it's at. I just wish they still offered manuals in station wagons...

I grew up watching robotech in the 80s, so I've had a while to start loving all those incongruous angles!

^I would be interested in a 'Touring' version of the Honda Type R. That's what's nice about the incognito VW. I just wish they would have made the R400...
