Did you read that it's for my daughter and it's an auto?? One thing going for it is the crash worthiness for her. My original TI was involved in 2 major accident and both times, the injuries were minor (except for my wife on the last one who was unfortunately 1/2 way in/out). and the recent thread about the Totaled TI just gives me faith in the Ti. My son has one and I feel good about letting him go out by himself.. Also, the lack of power makes it a good starter car along with great mileage. I guess I am open to other thoughts about a first car for 7K or less, but the experience of the Ti makes the 'problems' somewhat of a known quantity and I have a fantastic independent.. Argh! __________________ Frederic 1997 318Ti M-Tech & 1999 Z3 2.8 |
