Hi all, i am currently selling my BMW 650I and wanting to move back into a sensible Saloon or even estate/wagon. I will roughly have a budget of about 8-9K depending what i get for my car and i do about 10k miles a year so would like to keep with petrol. Prefer to get back into something Jap, can't knock a german car i have had VW's and BMW's for a while now, just want to go back to a Jap car.
So currently on my list i have a IS250 or a GS300. I have had two IS200's in the past and they where great, i almost bought a GS300 but someone else beat me to it and ended up with a 320I instead. Subaru Legacy saloon or wagon i don't mind at all on these. Honda Accord, have been looking at the 8th generation, would prefer a 2.4 then i remembered the CL7 Euro R what is now at the top of my list. Anything else i should consider? We already have a Mazda 6 in the family, so don't really want another one.

There's a Euro R on AT which does look very nice, but I do like the look and stats of this GS450h: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

I do like the GS450H they have been on my radar. Infinity i don't mind them, but don't think i would own one. Mondeo is alway a good sensible car, but not for me yet.

Again the GS450H is a good call, the only down side of one these how much boot space you loose thanks to the battery pack. On the subject of the Euro R on AT i have seen and it does look nice. I have recently been in contact with torque GT about a couple they have coming in soon.
