2001 BMW 3-Series

This car is probably the best ride for the dollar out there. It performs like a Ferrari but at a fraction of the cost. The best is when taking a hard corner on a constant or increasing acceleration. You will be hard pressed to find a vehicle of superior performance on the road.

If mileage or commuting is a priority then you should be aware that this vehicle underperfroms. The stick shift is fun on a track but a pain in traffic.

Believe it or not you can drive this car well in the winter. Just be sure to slap highest quality winter rubber on the car and it will move well. The superior "touch and feel" of the BMW experience allows a good driver to stay well connected to the road.
