This car would also offer the best fuel economy, which doesn't matter now but will when gas hits four bucks again in eighteen or so months.
If I wanted driving fun, I'd buy either German car over the Toyota and I'd follow the boards to stay aware of what I could expect to have to fix when.
It would also be a good idea to find a good indie for whatever you buy. Won't matter so much with the Toyota, but it will with the VW or the BMW.
You've clearly never driven a Lexus IS
