Great rep and image, even if it has become a Boomer Gen car for us 50-60 and up crowd. Outstanding vehicle performance and reliability for the entry price and very minimal maintenance costs. Depreciation appears decent over time. see full Chevrolet Corvette review |

To some, this is important. BMW, however good their cars might be, conjures up images of lawyers, trophy wives, and young hotshots who inherited their father's estate. I think I can make a fairly accurate assumption that most customers buy BMWs for reasons other than their unrivaled driving dynamics. I know some, who would never be caught driving a BMW due to that very reason. Doesn't bother me much, and the M badge also adds an air of seriousness to the vehicle. see full BMW 2-Series review |
