Hi, i'm looking to buy a car in the next month. Ano mas maganda? Bmw 320i or Forester 2.5t. The BMW 320i offered to me was a demo unit around 2000-3000 kms which I dont mind. The BMW is priced at 1.9 mil. I like the power the forester provides, but I like the overall driver orientedness of the 3 series. I really like both of them. Ano opinion niyo guys?thanks.

July 5th, 2009 01:23 PM #3BMW 320i and Forester are both my dream cars, isama mo na ang dodge nitro.
Anyways, back to topic....
BMW 320i - Much much more elegant, decente kumbaga, and it`s albeit rare than the Forester. Maintenance is a downside about this, but the resale is a +1.
Forester - More on out of town trips, off-roading. And also perfect for city driving. It`s getting common from time to time.
I`d pick the BMW, because, im not that into offroading and stuff. Why not put the DODGE NITRO on your choices? Just visited DODGE`s showroom yesterday, and their nitro is priced at 1.850million.
HTH

July 6th, 2009 09:57 AM #6A Subaru isn't all that simple to maintain, either... the boxer engine's quirky layout means that some tasks that are simple on an inline four will require extra labor (and thus, extra $$$) to perform on a Subaru. And a turbo car also has special needs.
That said, a Subie is still probably cheaper to maintain. The 320i is more exciting to steer, but the Subie is more practical (bigger), faster (bigger engine... with a turbo) and cheaper to own. Doesn't quite have the solidity (320i is utterly silent at 160 km/h... ) or brand cachet of the BMW, though... so whichever you get will depend on your priorities.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

I agree ... solidity/cache vs price/performance. Unless time na mag karga ng madaming grocery o furniture.
