the cx5 is super nice inside in higher trims but it's also bigger than the jeep compass. the cx3 is more comparable size wise to compass

Yeah, but you said mx3 not cx3. Probably a typo, but the mx3 is also a mazda model.

yeah you are right was a typo. cx3 was what i meant.

these mazdas are very nice though. underrated in terms of what they offer for price.

Agreed. They're nice inside, but I think they look great outside as well. Car reviewers seem less enthusiastic about the CX60 engines though, but that's a hybrid.

Obviously Skoda aren't the cars you dream of as a kid, but I had a Skoda Fabio for 7 years and for the money it was absolutely fantastic.

German cars are not reliable. In fact they are among the most likely to leave you stranded. Usually it's something to do with the electronics, simply because they have so much fancy tech. BMW's are so boring. Everyone drives them.

The Jeep doesn't seem to be a great car though. Honestly the only Jeep I'd buy is the Wrangler and the entertainment value is worth half its price.

If he's looking at Jeep, the Mazda CX5 or even CX60 would make more sense.

Newer BMWs are pretty reliable. The B58 engine is a fantastic engine, so much so that Toyota uses it in the Mk5 Supra. The ZF8 speed used in many BMWs is also one of the best out out there.
Gone are the days where you would get high pressure fuel pump failures on the N54 engine- which was the first turbocharged inline six that BMW mass produced. They’ve come a long way since then.

BMW has placed pretty high in some recent reliability rankings, coming in third overall in last years Consumer Reports Reliability ranking, just behind Toyota and Lexus, and beating Honda and Acura.

This, thank you. I’d say BMWs built in the 2010s and forward have been very reliable. I think the issues are just more magnified because you’re driving a premium car

If only they could fix their fugly designs from the last 3-4 years.

I also find BMWs boring, although they are good quality.

British Asians do love them lol.

The ZF8 is also used in the Stelvio I believe and it is indeed pretty awesome.

the only recurring issue with them is rust. i've seen an almost brand new 3 with like 12k km and the suspension, exhaust system had rusty parts. local mazda dealer has the best wheel aligner equipment in town, he told some horror stories while he was setting up my accord. he says that the road salt might have a huge impact on them even during the 1st winter, and he even developed a business based on the rusty new mazdas, as plenty of new mazda owners bring their brand new cars to him for anti rust protection lol. good for him i guess

also avoid diesels. the last time my car mechanic guy did the yearly maintenance of my accord he gave me a ride back home in a diesel 6. it had ~130-140k km and a replaced engine lol. diesel is not an issue in us/canada though

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about - the big grilles on the M3, M4 and the 4 series.

This thread is kinda boring. I propose we get Claudio to start a new thread, “What Maids Do You Drive?”

I am beginning to like the big grills. The iX looks beautiful.

It doesn't.

There are plenty of those around here. It's a truly hideous car. Don't get me wrong. Almost all BMW's are ugly. But the IX is exceptionally ugly. It's difficult to believe how ugly it is when you first stand in front of it. It just looks so crude.

It looks like BMW just doesn't have the right design language for their SUV's yet. Their sedans are maybe a bit boring, but they are mostly good looking cars.

e46 coupé for me, but this is a close 2nd. one of the best looking sedans in the last 20 years for sure

This F30 definitely looks beautiful but this generation just didn’t have the fantastic steering feel that the previous generations had.

The current generation is wonderful on the inside and the steering feel is better than the last generation (F30) but not like that of the e46 or e90.

Which is what hurts the most. I’d buy the G80 in a heartbeat if it was better looking.
