I was originally looking at 3 series BMWs. I like the looks and the performance and the prices are attractive for relatively low mileage cars.
The feedback I received from several owners and the mechanic who works on my Boxster led me to look at other options. My mechanic told me that if I bought one, I would be seeing a lot more of him. The Mercedes Benz is not trouble free either and the prices for parts are high. So, it is probably a matter of picking your poison.
My Infiniti has been great and its relatively good reliability and low repair cost have been a nice contrast to my Porsche. I guess the smart thing to do would be to buy a nice used Corolla or Civic, but I'm sure most of us aren't on this board because we consider cars an appliance.
