Has your sister actually driven the 3?

No. But she has driven about 2 TSX's, and she likes them a lot. Are you going to tell me that the 3 drives better than the TSX does?

I'm not.  I am suggesting that she drive a 3.

For the millionth time, I am NOT rich.

And it isn't even going to be my car. When I get my car in college, for the same price, hopefully it will be a 1er, and if so, if most definitely will be a 6MT.
Getting a $20k car is a pretty big deal. :huh:

And CJ, only you'd be dumb enough to take a 3 over a TSX. I'd only do that if the 3 was an MT and the TSX was an AT.

I would take a new car over a used car any day.  It's just common sense.

You act like a 2 year old TSX will break down as soon as it's driven off the lot. :rolleyes:

What makes you boneheads think she wants something like the MS6? It sounds like she's looking for a little more luxury and a little less involvement.

Wait, Ro, what about a Volvo S40? I've always liked those. Plus the waterfall center stack is nice.

That's not what I'm saying.  I'm saying that you have no clue how the car was treated previously and the service history, if it wasn't documented.  With a new car, you know the service history, you know how it has been driven, and you know how it was treated.  If that doesn't make sense, I don't know what does.

It's a CPO! Damn, CJ, this car is not a salvaged POS, it's almost new. I'm afraid the TSX wins in almost every way against the 3, at least in this case.

You're still dumb.
That's completely irrational. Chances are a nice car like a TSX will be nicely maintained.
