If it ain't German or European I do not want it or own it. Been looking at a BMW i8 saw one last week and feel in love went this last weekend looking for one trying to decide on a color. I'm thinking black. Dealer said they could have it in a couple of days no matter what color I pick. Want to be cruising by the weekend.
It's a great car! The '96 rolled over 219k miles before she left me. And as for the Jeep, you can't go wrong as long as you're buying STOCK or only a couple years young. You don't want someone else's headaches.
Love the BMWs, just an expensive fix around my city. We don't have a dealership within 300+ kms making the penny a tad shinier.

Pain is momentary, but glory shall never fade.
My family is Chevy and Dodge. I have a Dodge Dakota 2001 that I love a lot and am really proud of but it's my first truck so of course I love it, even with the numerous faults and hours in the shop lol -- I have a new transmission, starter, I've changed the oil, starter, air filter by myself - my dad had to help me with the transmission though haha. And the left window doesn't roll down and it pulls to the right but ah what can you do. It gets me from point a to point b and thats all I need.
My dad has a Dodge Dually Longhorn - its a beast, I learned how to drive in that thing.
And my aunt is the odd one out with a Ford f-150, but having driven all of my family's vehicles, I have to say I like hers the best because it is the smoothest :P
I gotta say its pretty tough to find something that meets all your needs and wants. I am the one who wanted a truck...then the wife bought one. We dont need two trucks. Cant justify a compact sporty car but want the fun of torque and manual transmission. I have really been shopping for a good year now.
If I was further south it would be easy. But our local roads go through a lot of freeze thaw cycles and get petty roughed up. The odd two/three foot snowfall is also a factor.
Every vehicle has its ups and downs.. Never been a hater of any specific manufacturer. With a shit health record from a few years back, I've been restricted from my license so I currently don't have a vehicle. My first vehicle was a 1996 Nissan Maxima.. That was a gem. Ran her into the ground and later started borrowing my father's 2004 Jeep Rubicon. Without needing to be said, I went head over heels for that.. I had that as a daily while he was selling for Dodge Jeep and Chrysler driving demos until late 2008, I had an awful episode sending me to the ER and hospitalizing me for 2 nights. They suspended my license, he took his keys back and recently bought a '14 Jeep Sahara. Occasionally I get to drive that thing around for errands and still in love with the vehicle. The thing has never seen mud deeper than the treads.
