Welcome!

It's funny you listed all the different cars you test drove - I test drove all the same ones (and some others) before I got my Lexus

None of those cars felt as good as my Lexus. The quality just can't compare

To be honest the 350z was a close second, but overall not as many features for the money.

I hated the headrests in the Genesis coupe - they pushed my head down & forward. The test drive didn't last very long. Also, the interior looked cheap for the prices dealers were asking.

I also considered the BMW M-roadster / coupe, 2005-06 Pontiac GTO, and of course the S2000.

Edit: I know they are not the same kind of vehicle, but I didn't want an economy car!

The 350z was a second choice for me but decided against it because I could only drive it 4-5 months out of the year, definitely not a winter friendly car. I'm still trying to decide if I should buy a winter beater... Don't wanna drive the IS in snow
