Right now I have a 2005 BMW 325i that we got used and its pushing 80,000 miles with no type of warranty. My brother is getting his license soon so my parents are going to have to get a new car anyway. Since I'll be starting college in the fall and will be driving back and forth about and hour and a half on some weekends my parents want to give the BMW to my brother since he'll still be driving locally for 2 more years and give me the new car with the warranty. My number one choice was a Toyota 4runner but its way too impractical with the gas mileage and insurance costs of an SUV. It would also have to be used because I don't like the new ones. Today I test drove a 2010 Honda Accord EX-L and Nissan Altima 3.5SR. Hands down I liked the Nissan much better than the Honda because the transmission was much smoother. The Nissan also came with great packages and was really nice. Here comes the decision time. My parents said that if I REALLY want to keep the BMW I can. I just don't know what to do because as far as luxury goes the Altima definitely has the BMW beat. My 325 is the most basic version and doesnt have the real leather seats or anything. Its mostly the BMW name that people freak out over. The main thing that I'll miss about it is the sportiness I guess. I know thats not what I need to be basing my decision on but its just that you don't really expect to see a teenage guy driving a car like this Altima and these types of sedans have always seemed more business and adult/family like. I kind of want something I can have a little fun in which is why I wanted the 4runner but I guess its just not practical. I keep going back and forth in my mind but everytime I see the Altima I fall in love with it again because its so nice then I always end up second guessing myself. Another thing I have to think about is getting something reliable. We've had a couple problems with the BMW and its never a cheap fix. I hope this all makes sense I was just wondering what yall thought.
