Hi guys,

I'm in the market to buy a second car for my wife. I need a sedan (4 doors), not too big, she barely parks a bike, not too small either. We have two little girls and we have to fit 2 car seats. I'm looking for something around $17-20k not older than 2006.
So far I narrowed it down to Audi A4, Lexus IS250 Mercedes c240-280 and VW Passat.
If any of you has experience with any of the above cars please give me your input on reliability and your overall experience with the car. or maybe you can add another brand to my list.
thanks
