 Favorite feature:

inline-6

 Least favorite feature:

too cramped in the rear passenger area

 Advice to buyer:

look into getting the A4 quattro 6sp for the same price

 Detailed review:

The car handles nicely, but it is missing a lot of the amenities that the Audi A4 has. Such as, memory seats, heated rear, dual climate control, 6sp, awd, power trunk release, air bag release based on impact, rear seats fold down, 12-way electronically adjustable seats, free oil changes and scheduled services and a lot of rear legroom. The Lexus' rear passenger space is very limited and the seats do not come down to have access to the rear (only a ski pass-through in the armrest).

 Also considered:

2002 Audi A4
2002 BMW 3 Series
2002 Subaru Impreza

 Vehicle purchased:

2002 Audi A4
