ok, Im looking for a new car.. well newer. Im looking around 13k-15k.. could push a little more i guess. I dont drive to much, maybe 150 miles a week. I cant decide on what i want. I like the idea of a sports car, but then again having a larger.. more comfortable car.
Any input you have, please post. |

I voted s2k but the IS is a good option too. The BMW will not be as reliable and the TC is not in the same class as the others.

I'd either go with the is300 or the tC
An s2k would be a fun car but its just so tiny... I dunno about you, but after a while I know I would get sick of only having two seats... I carry a buncha crap around with me so I like having room lol --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

I'm a beamer sucker.
I just cant get over how well they handle stock. And I think bmw's are safe to. But visability in them was a minor problem for me. You should drive each one and see what vibe you get from them. |

The biggist thing im looking at now is reliablity, cause i will be droping all my money on it, Im not gunna want to be droping lots of money repairing it any time soon.
I love bmw's, it would suit me well with the size, perfomance and style. Im more concernd that i know they take more up keep, and cost a bit more to matian. s2k, fast, nice, handleing.. down fall, small, convrt.. not as safe, more likly to get stolen, not as nice of an every day car. scion tc, that would just be a nice newer reliable car. I like the stlye, decent performance, and soon to have a nice after market support. downfall, cheaper, not really luxury or performace related. lexus is300, relaible nice, sporty, pimp.. but for my price range, it would have higher miles or an auto.. |

The 325i is a good car. Sporty and reliable. Check out BMW's reliability ratings. It's also big enough to put things in and be a possible future family car. It's RWD, but BMW's RWD system still works well in the snow especially with nice snow tires. The 2.8lt is a lot better than the 2.5. I wouldn't go with the 325xi, the AWD system turns those cars into slugs.
