Back on topic, he's a college student, he has school monies in the bank, nothing else. He needs a practical car with a WARRANTY. And its going to have to last him a year or two out of school in all likelihood. What he wants and should practically get are not necessarily the same thing. An MR2 is cool, but he's not going to get laid in it very easily. How about a 4wd Subaru? Fun to drive, can come in stick, can haul the beer keg. I'm driving a Toyota Matrix for the next week or two until my Camry Hybrid comes in. It'll haul five adults and a couple of kegs! Sure a bimmer is cool, but when he buys a five y/o 325 and the trannie *****s-the-bed what does he do for reserve money to fix it?
