keep it at least until your warranty runs out... noones going to care if there is less than a year left on a warranty, as well as the fact that, if your going to buy a BMW, at least buy an M series, or 5 series because otherwise your not standing out of a crowd, you are simply following one in a higher class than a tercel.
personally i like VW's, great cars, nice trannies, but if you ARE stuck on getting something else new, i totally suggest something in AWD, like the new Subaru, you know,,, 300HP stock? awd. there is a 6 month waiting period on those, but you have nothing but time to decide... if you put one on order, you should be able to get one just as your warraty runs out.
Whats the matter with your VW? did you not get any or enough speeding tickets with it? if you want soemthing FAST, believe me, it will cost you nothing but money, first comes the speeding tickets, if not one but 2 or 3, who knows, then comes the insurance check, boom 30% increase right there.
fast is not the way to go.... i bought a pickup truck because i owned a 340HP Prelude before, done to the tits, lowered, super charged, blowoff valve, slip tranny, bored out cylenders to 60 over, 2.4 liter... i mean it... it was fucking fast... i was easily beating stangs and camaro's... i managed to get nothing but 4 speeding tickets, and i got let off of a wrcless driving charge... so i said, FUCK THIS! and i sold it and bought a nice pickup. and i have never been happier with my vehicle. now i go UP instead of DOWN when it comes to suspension and driving higher than everyone and taking it off the road is a WAY bigger rush then EVER when i had a fast car knowing i could BEAT everyone.... Knowing you can run OVER everyone is a much cooler feeling.
but anyways.... AWD no matter what you buy is always a good way to go... i DO like the subaru's and no matter where you go... you get respect. try to avoice the big dumb ass ugly wing that they try to stick on there from the factory....
hope i help ya a lil
sorry, but i am not really a fan of BMW
