ya all agree to that, overall german cars are nicer... however not everyone can afford a german touring sedan.

The best car in the segment, by far. This video makes me all the more proud to be an E90 328i owner. I used to own an E46 325i. No car in the segment comes close when it comes to balancing all the required virtues of an exec car like comfort, safety, handling, reliability, & quality of materials

God bless the USA for, amongst other things, not placing insane tariffs on cars like most other countries. Mine was $36K well equipped - in many countries, both rich & poor, a 3 costs double that

Im sorry to kill your argument, but every modern Ford is designed by european engineers.

In five years, just about everyone can considering their resale value. I bought a 99 Passat for just $2300!

Hell, I'd sit in the car for that frontal offset test... seems kind of fun. First the airbags inflate, going really fast and leaving only an inch or two of space between you and the bag. (If that's not precision engineering, I don't know what is). Then you come to a gentle stop, hitting nothing hard. Then you wake up and realize you're surrounded by airbags. Then you thank the airbags for saving your life.

BMWs are quite safe, my friend drove in to tree on a similar way than the first crash in the clip, I was in the back seat with no seat belt, we was getting away from cops, so after the crash I just jumped out and ran to forest even remembered to take my back bag. But I still had some scratches and my neck was sore for half a year :D oh and the car was a 325i e36 4d

Me too, last time I went 20 miles an hour on 1st gear and she was a bit upset. She was screaming her head off. (talking about my beemer) Anyways I thought I was driving my accord, because the gearing is so different on both cars. The one thing I like about the beemer is it slows down more when i let go of the gas, but my honda takes forever to slow down, it feels like it's not even slowing down at all.

I don't like it's first gear. It's too short, too light and with 177.000km in 2.5 year time you can see that the first gear is a bit ,worn out. From 2nd or 3rd gear to 1st isn't easy going;)
