I’m down to 3 cars from 7 about a year ago and it feels great since something was always broken. But I find myself without a car I can easily drive back and forth to LA or loan out to friends when they are in town. I’ve been using the G550 for that duty, but it’s really not great especially for the long drive down the 5 where the wind noise is pretty harsh. And since it’s out of warranty broken things can be expensive.

So I find myself in need of a 4th car to do that duty. Here are my requirements:

1. 4 Seats, with back ones big enough for adults. Coupe slightly preferred since the backs are used less, but 4 door acceptable.

2. Enough oomph. Doesn’t have to be the fastest car on the road, but at least faster than the G550. And needs to sounds decent.

3. Fits in my SF garage. The M6 GC barely fit and couldn’t go in my 2nd spot. It needs to probably be less wide/long than the M6 GC. To go in the second spot the track has to be under 65". Not critical that it fits in the second spot but way more convenient.

4. Decent autonomous functions. In particular lane holding and definitely automatic cruise control. Preferably with the ability to brake all the way down to a stop in traffic.

5. 36/10k lease payment under 1000$.

I’m driving the following this weekend:

1. Audi S5 Sportback

2. E400 Coupe

3. Volvo S90 (really because a friend wants to drive it)

4. Cadillac CT6 (with Super Cruise)

Was really interested in the 440i Gran Coupe but BMW’s autonomous features are surprisingly terrible outside the 7 series.

Any thoughts Oppo?

Not sure how you got no responses to this...

What did you like the best of the 4 you drove?

Fantastic machines, but assuming they’re the same size as his old GC.

I ended up with a low-mile  2011 XK-R. Just randomly appeared on the Jag used car lot when I was helping a friend test drive an XC60.  They are a ridiculous performance bargain.  Had no idea they have 500HP.

I know you said you already have a G550, but maybe you would like this one with different trim. Also unfortunately, only one door

Same size as the 6GC but under budget and orange.

Nice! Those have great lines. What color?

I feel the same way about these as I do about the Vette.  They should offer a $10k-$15k “nice interior” option which replaces all the plastic fantastic stuff with leather and carbon and nice-touch plastic instead of the entry-level model grade stuff.  Then I’d buy one and laugh every time I drove it.

BRG/tan.  I am aware they made them in other colors, but the only question is “why?”.

I made a more recent update.  I know it was weird - hoped to get more suggestions of stuff to try.

Do you need a person to whom you could make sizable donations? I am willing to be this person.
