I am a 22 yr old single male that loves to cruise around a lot in the streets of Los Angeles. I am not into the racing scene so I don't care how fast the car goes. I hear the mercedes is expensive to maintain but I know the owner of a local mechanic shop and he gives me great prices. Is the mercedes a every day car to drive or is it a weekend car. I love the way these cars look and I can't decide which one to get. all three cars have less than 80,000 miles and are in my price range which is $22,000. How is the gas mileage on these three cars. And please don't tell me to get an American car.

You can't go wrong with a Lexus.

buy an acura if you dont want to drive a grandma car like the TL much more car for the money and mercedes sucks in reliability

In my opinion you should go with Bens. The Lexus ES is just a Luxury Toyota Camry (FWD) with a few extra goodies, not that there no good but bens is pretty sweet especially the S class with its in RSS suspension. RWD. If you choose the Lexus go with the GS it's and actual Lexus with RWD not a Toyota with the Luxus Logo.
