I did the same thing, bought a 2000 subaru for a classier work car at the firm....then sold it a year later because I hate making payments, bought a '92 prelude that is loud and obnoxious.
Since I did that seems like the whole office is downgrading cars, an office friend sold his '04 sti with big turbo, and bought a '76 blazer, then anouther sold their '03 forester and bought a '89 subaru loyale.

There is so much trash in our office parking lot now, the high school down the street has nicer cars. You'd think an architecture firm could do better, and the busines keeps coming through the door. Drive what you want to drive, dont let other people dictate your choice in car.

My little sister has this exact car. Great on gas but what do i know i'm used to 8s. I like it she has however had to bring it to the dealer for little things. Reliability wise go for an e46 bmw, get a set of winter tires and you're set. I put tons of miles on my bimmers and other than control arms from driving in the city and oil changes i never had any problems. Great ------ cars.

Older BMW X perhaps? (X is for awd). I don't know when they started making them or what the prices are... just throwing the possibility out there.

If I ever bought any BMW it would be an older M3.. something about them gets my rocks off. plus they're fast and rare..

E36 = slow unreliable valve dropping heap.

If you think you can find an M1 or E26 M go for it. Those cars are fast and rare.
