I haven’t been in the Lexus, but the rear seat in the TLX is smaller than in the integra. It’s small. The car is all hood and no interior. For those of us with kids it’s truly disappointing how they cheaper out on interior space. For that - the TLX is a no-go for me.

helpful

Thanks for the insights, have seen a lot of people complain about the TLX’s interior.

Love the front look of the TLX, but not sure how I feel about the rear.

Lexus is higher quality

I think they both look good. I would want to drive them both and see which one handles better.

Drive both, but I would HIGHLY suggest getting a 6 cylinder is300 (vs the 4 cylinder), absolutely loved mine before upgrading

TLX is very underpowered. I have an IS350 F and love it. Also have an 08 TL Type S and the new engincad. TLX seems weaker than my 08 car.

So I have a IS300 F and an Acura ILX, haven't driven the tlx so can't comment much, but if it's as light as my ilx feels, I'll prefer the Lexus, firmer balance on the road, awesome driving experience

Yes. Higher quality

It’s not much compared to most of the posts I’ve seen in this bowl, but I finally hit $10k NW after I started working FT in August.
Everyone in this bowl has been a tremendous help in this process. I’ve never been good at saving, so this is a big milestone for me. Thank you again to everyone who gives out advice in the bowl, it is truly invaluable. Happy NYE! ❤️

Hello fishes.
I'm a fresher and I recently joined one of the big4 as a senior analyst.
I am given sap as my competency, but honestly I'm not finding it interesting. I was hoping to shift to data analytics(python, sql, etl, powerbi, advanced excel... Working with these techs).
I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?

About to give a go at negotiating a price for a used ‘21 Mercedes’ GLE 350 - 7k miles. I know it’s a tough buyers market but any tips on ways to negotiate? Dealer is 100 miles away and priced competitively at $64k but another dealer is 200 miles away and priced at $60k. Features are about the same but the more expensive option has nicer wheels so maybe that’s worth ~$2k. TIA

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
