I'm looking to get a car for my mom under $45k. Right now, my top choices are the Audi A6 and BWM 525i.

Out of this list, which one would you get? (remember this is for my mother)

 

if it is only for your monther, you shouldn't buy a big size car..!! cuz, that will only makes things to be more difficult for her..!!

 

I would choose the A6. It's a good looking sedan in my opinion, and has enough power to get your mom around. granted she's not looking to race the car around Audi reliability has also gone up and their brand is getting stronger every year. I'd also look into the Lexus GS300, same qualities.

 

The poll should say 525i and not 325i. i can't change it.

 

I'd go with the RL ... It combines luxury, good looks, reliability, and value all into one. On top of that it's very spacious and comfortable. Besides, it's a Honda ... which makes me obviously biased toward this poll. HOwever, Lexus also makes some great sedans as well.

 

The selection you have is quite exhaustive which is great. However, despite the car being for your mother, what qualities does she look for in a vehicle? Is she looking for a larger sized car? A lengthy warranty relative to competitors? Performance? Creature comforts? Great financing rates? A good colour palette to choose from etc. etc. The poll draws on a number of different cars, from often VERY different manufacturers. The question can only objectively be answered based on your mother's wants and needs.

Subjectively speaking, I would go with the Audi A6 because of it's build quality, coupled with Audi's legendary Quattro system. In addition, the A6 sports all the creature comforts anyone would honestly require. But thats just my own 2c

get the BMW 330i

 

A TL Type S with Navi is the best bang for the buck. Just test drive it.

 

where is the BMW M5?

 

i'd also consider the new nissan altima. great bang for the buck.
