One of my carpool buddies is looking for a used car; his Infiniti G35 had a pretty bad issue with the fuel pump/system which left it undrivable and it has over 160.000 miles on the clock.

Normally I'm quick to point out suggestions but I'm not very good with "American" tastes, so perhaps y'all can come up with some bright ideas as to which cars:

His criteria:

• Around $20.000, give or take.
• Fewer than 48.000 miles (new or used)
• It has to have "room", a sedan preferably although SUVs are okay. The 3er is too "small", for example.
• Automatic gearbox
• Something reliable (duh!)
• Not too thirsty

He's thinking of just picking up another Infiniti since his has been overall fairly reliable and he likes the space. His G35 is getting repaired now and he might just keep driving it, but he's thinking about getting rid of it since it has so many miles.

I suggested a couple VW cars, but he would rather have the Audis (which aren't in his price range). Cars like the Ford Focus are too "downmarket" for him. Kind of hard to find a reliable, used luxury car at his price and mileage point, but let's hear the suggestions.
