Hi Hackrs,
I’m about to become a Dad in a couple of months and I’m on a limited budget for my next lease. My last two leases were for BMW coupes that were nearly fully loaded with 300+hp. Now it’s time for something a bit more family friendly but I’d still like to get something that not going to bore me to death every time I get behind the wheel. I’m a tech nerd so a good infotainment system with nice tech features are important. A base model of anything just tends to make me feel like I’m missing out. That might be something that I’m just going to have to get over if I want to stay in budget. Compromises are inevitable but Id like to limit them as much as possible.
My budget is $300/m including 8.25% CA sales tax. I could put some money down but I’d rather not. MSDs are a possibility. I only need 10k miles/year.
I need something with rear doors and room in the back for rear facing child seat and enough trunk space for a stroller and other baby requirements. Some options I’ve considered are the Mazda 6, Honda Accord, VW GTI, and Chevy Bolt.
I see several Mercedes C300 loaner deals being posted around $300/m but I can’t seem to find anything like that here is the SF Bay Area.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
