As far as options, I'm looking for something that's somewhat sporty but still has all the creature comforts and works as a daily driver. I rarely have more than me and my kid in the car, we have a Civic for running around with everyone. Would like to get an AWD car, I don't think I'll want a RWD one.

So far on my short list:

Audi A5
Cadillac CTS4 Sedan, Coupe, or even the Wagon
Dodge Charger AWD versions
Infinity G37x Sedan

Most I want to spend is about $20,000, which seems to get me cars about 5-8 years old and 80,000 to 120,000kms.

Genesis Coupe and Infinity Coupes are out as they're a bit small (and one RWD only).

At that age is Mercedes worth looking at? I really like the E class (though I guess that's a bigger car than the others that I've been looking at, but they're nice!), but I assume MB is expensive for repairs, is it worse than VW/Audi?

Avoiding BMW for the same reason (expensive to repair). Don't like SUVs, might consider a CUV.

Are there any other models I should be considering?
