Anyone here get into analysis paralysis when buying a car. After month of research and testing driving I've narrowed it down to these two vehicles. Right now in my mind there are enough pluses and minuses that it's not tipping one way or another. Anyone else ever run into this?
ATS 2.0T Manual
Plus
Manual transmission
Lower price
Lower insurance cost
4 years free maintenance
Better equipped (Would have to buy top of the line Lexus to get backup camera)
Minus
Styling, very conservative compared to Lexus
It's a Cadillac. Perception is it's an old mans car even though it's not.
CUE yes it as bad as they say
Lexus IS350 F-Sport
Plus
Exterior styling more interesting
Like interior better than the Cadillac
May be more reliable over the long term
Minus
Purchase cost
Insurance cost
Maintenance cost during first 4 years. Long term might be the opposite.
Has an automatic transmission thought it's one heck of an automatic transmission
My gut tells me that the Cadillac is going to be more interesting for the majority of the driving I do which is city based. If I did more highway driving the Lexus might be better. On the highway it seemed to be were you could really enjoy the engine.
