Car recommendation please
My buddy who just got the go ahead from his wife to buy another used car for himself. It needs to meet certain requirements for the family too.
Wife needs: Leather to cut down on dog hair sticking to daughters dresses. Seat five. 4 door (saloon). Mileage not too bad maybe 20-22 MPG city. His needs: $25,000 used car budget. Handling over power but not like a Miata's great handling and too few horses. Reliability and maintenance costs. He would love a BMW but is afraid of maintenance costs. He is pushing 50 years old so an EVO type car is not age appropriate. I have suggested an Infiniti G35. A 2006 Infiniti G35x seems (from internet knowledge) to be in the ballpark. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I would go for the Panamera. It's over budget a bit but I bet it's worth it.

G35S Sedan. Don't really need the X being in Cali, just more parts to fail.

BMW would be great except he is afraid of maintenance costs and it's reliability.
