6. Audi A5

For a full luxury vehicle, the Audi A5 gets top marks in terms of affordability. But make no mistake, this is a luxury car and it is priced as one, with a starting sticker price of just under $40,000. The good news is that drivers will not encounter a lot of needed repairs or maintenance with the A5. It is known to be sturdy as a rock, and it comes with luxury features that people expect such as all-wheel drive, a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter turbo engine that produces with 220 horsepower, and gets 22 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway in terms of fuel economy. Leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, a ten-speaker sound system, heated headlamp washers, LED turn signals, fog lights, Bluetooth connectivity, and a garage door opener all come standard as well. Again, this car is for the owner who doesn’t mind spending a bit more upfront to get a luxury vehicle they can rely on.

5. Lexus LS

For people who are in the market for a high-end luxury vehicle, the most cost effective option (relatively speaking, of course) is the Lexus LS. A starting price of $72,000 is going to put this car out of reach for most people. But as far as high end luxury cars go, the Lexus LS gets top marks for having among the lowest insurance costs, breakdowns, repair bills and fuel economy. This car also looks terrific, is a full sized sedan with plenty of room, and has neat features such as four zone climate control, stadium quality surround sound and a built-in entertainment system that is second to none in the car industry. Also available in a hybrid model, the Lexus LS is the affordable super expensive car.
