Posers, people who need certain parts of their anatomy/personality 'bolstered', drug dealers, ignorant road users, old businessmen with no imagination... in fact I can't think of a good stereotype for BMW drivers. If you go for the Z3/Z4 that makes you a hairdresser with a rich and gullible husband, but that's about it.

BMW is to cars what Ferrero Rocher is to chocolates - overpriced, desired by people who don't know any better, but when you bite into it, you expected so much more for your money.

Unless you get an M3.

Well they really aren't overpriced here, i'd say they are less expensive than the other's in its class. Oh and I don't need the car to make up for a lack of anything hehe

Every friend I have who has owned a BMW has had several reliability issues. Generally BMW are better to lease then to buy mostly due the issues with their electrical systems. Similar problems plague Mercedes Benz as well. My friends family owns three BMWs all of which have electrical issues. One of their cars electrics went fubar after only 6 years and after words they could no longer oped the driver's side door from the inside. That said I don't know if the more modern BMW's suffer from the same issues (I hope they corrected them by now) but I have heard nothing but bad things about their iDrive system.

As for Audi, well they compete in the same price range but are far less common, In the U.S. at least. I don't know their reliability history since I don't know any friend or family member who has ever bought one. Where I live Audi's are pricey and the lack of familiarity with the brand makes them less popular. I do notice that Audi's don't depreciate as fast as BMW but they also are harder to find with all the options you want.

Eh, there are too many GTIs out there for us to be able to know which one you mean just from those three letters, but I suppose you are talking about the Volkswagen Golf GTI? Not a bad choice if that indeed is what you went for.

Hehe it is indeed the VW GTI, I didn't really consider it until I drove it. That thing has torque! wow, as soon as you press the pedal it goes! I would of loved the R32 golf, but it isn't available in Canada. I read a lot of reviews about the VW GTI and Top gear loved as well. Get it the 20th can't wait!

My mother actually has a 2008 Audi A4 with the 2.0T engine. It's amazing. I can't speak for the BMW, never having driven one, but there's no way to be disappointed with the Audi, other than the lack of stick shift, but I think that's only a problem here in the US. Damn lazy Americans, can't even drive without their cars shifting on their own... =/

I do commend your choice of the VW. I own a Jetta myself, even if it is a 1999. They tend to age gracefully; people regularly tell me my car looks much newer. I would personally love a VW Eos convertible, with the VR6 engine.

Yeah the A4 was very very nice and a stick shift is a must for me. They do have the A4 stick here. Both my parents have VW and my roomate has a Passat, great cars and I heard only good reviews about the GTI!

Well had it a week and a half and it's a hell of a car, especially for the price! Super satisfied!

Then put a bigger turbo and a better 'cooler on it.
