I pretty much narrowed it down to these cars because I want something I like to drive. I have an Accord but for the most part my girl will be using it. The fixing of the BMW is no problem I get parts for a real good deal and I have a hook up at a shop. Im lookin to spend nomore the $5k on the car. The civic or similar car nah I just do not like driving them. Too small and no fun. My friend had a Legend we drove from FL to NC 3 times and it got 25+ mpg. In town 18-20. That is fine for me. The BMW gets a lil bit better then that. I think both cars are fun to drive. The only thing I like better bout the Legend is it is bigger then the 3 series, more back seat room, more trunk space. The car will be used for a lil more then just gettin to work.
