Default Need opinions on a second (used) car to compliment the A4

Well, it looks like my daily commuter ('88 Honda CRX Si, 242,000 miles) is on it's last leg, so I need to replace it with something newer. I'd like something with 4 doors, V6, 5-speed or auto, 50K-80K miles, in the $10K-$12K range. My current choices are:

92-94 Acura Legend coupe or sedan (LS or GS)
92-93 Lexus ES300
93-94 Infinity J30
92-94 Infinity Q45

I know these are completely different from the A4, but it will be used for freeway commuting and road trips, so I'm looking for more luxury/comfort than sportiness. Has anyone owned (or currently owns) one of these models? Any opinions? Any other suggestions?

BMW Z3 roadster (nice compliment to A4, but more money...)
VW golf, Jetta, Passat?
