Help me choose a beater

Well I just recently got a promotion at my job, and its now time to mod the crap out of my camaro.

I am now looking for a good daily driver, and I have my choices narrowed down to these:

---Option A----

2005 Acura TSX:





This model is the best bang for the buck entry-level luxury car, and it is available in a 6 speed.


----Option B----

2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sedan



I like the styling on this car, however it doesn't come with xenon lights.
This one I can get a good deal on.


----Option C----

2005 Infiniti G35




This car is the powerful one in the bunch, however the most expensive.



All suggestions welcome, however I am looking for a 4 door that is good on gas, power is not really an issue, and it must be luxurious. Must be under 30k.

Thanks

have you looked at any american cars? Buick has some decent stuff in your price range (and better reliability ratings than all the ones you've listed)

I haven't really looked at the american cars, because i can get deals on the ones that I looked at. I dont know if I will be able to buy a GM before their employee discount expires.

my moms has a 2004 acura TSX, 6 speed. its a pretty cool car. its quite quick for a 4 cylinder. she doesnt have the GPS tho, its too much money for how much you would use it. when she was looking at it i was like why dont u get a new GTO or somethign, but when i rode in it and drove it, i was very suprised. it is very sporty, and "agile" if you will.lol. havent had a single problem with it since we got it. the interior looks pretty sweet and feels pretty nice too when u ride in it/ drive it. only thing i dont like about the car is that you cant go more than like 5 mph in 1st gear.lol but thats not much to complain about. stops on a dime too! i dont know anythign about the other ones but thats my 2 cents on that. good luck with your decision.
