ES250 is a notch higher than the Camry and Accord.
The proper competitors would be Camry = Accord = Teana = Mark X = IS250 = 3-series = C-class
ES250 is just the smallest engine variant of something which is supposed to compete with 5series and E-class.
I think if you want JDM quality and premium d-segment go for either the Mark X or IS250, but IS250 facelift won't be within your budget and the one before looks kinda dated so better shoot for Mark X can still get just 1 generation behind what's at Japan now.
That is if you're looking for something safe, but since you've been using a Sonata I'm guessing you've a risk appetite if the car is right? brows.gif

2015 Infiniti Q50 - very exclusive car, not many on our roads but very powerful and of course it is reliable too. It's exclusivity is a double edge sword for people that dunno the brand they might think it is a new car and can't guess it's age even in a few years from now but they won't know it's a premium brand. For people that know what an Infiniti is will probably bust your balls for not buying a BMW 3-series, Merc C-Class or Lexus.

2011 Jaguar XF - this put's you ahead of Mercs and BMWs. Malaysian market only has the 3000cc variant although the 4000cc variant is more common

Infiniti Q50 seems not a bad choice but how about its spare parts?
Mark x V6 is smooth but high fuel consumption
I am looking into easy maintain & get the parts thats

Infiniti upkeep would be about the same as say BMW 3-series, Merc CLA/C-Class, Audi A4, etc.
If you're worried about fuel consumption and parts issue but don't mind being just another boring blank car on the road, a typical Camry would do.
Camry, Accord or Perdana are good enough for overall use but Mark X, Lexus IS250, Infiniti Q50 are all a notch above in premiumness.
But if you want high-end and cost effective then opt for the Mark X or IS250.

I was thinking of ES250 which is 120k or new accord 2.0.
How about 2ndhand mazda 6 in terms of maintainance & parts?
