c300 vs infiniti g35/37 vs lexus is

i'm in the market for a new car to replace my 2006 bmx 530xi. i'm looking for something awd, reliable, and with some power. reliability is the most important because i'm replacing my bmw because in the 6 months i've owned it, i had to replace battery ($500) and fuel pump ($1k) and just don't want to deal with it anymore. other than the reliability, i do like the power and interior of the bmw, athough it is rather wide. i did have a c280 for about a year with no problems but issues with 2 bmws and an audi has put me off of german cars.

i know this is mercedes forum but can anyone compare them all or at least one to another? i'm looking at them all being used, 08/09-ish years. looking to spend 15k or less. lexus seems to be the most expensive, infiniti the cheapest.

I cant say much about lexus since I've had experience with them but I have with infinity G35 & G37. I drove my friends around and sat in them and I think I'd choose my C300 over it. It felt more comfortable and if you worried about power, it was about the same. I've pulled on G35 with a few mods. The main thing I recommend is make sure you get a car that has all of its services and stuff done on time. 15K is an okay price, mainly depends on where you are.
