Would you rather have a 1995-99 Chevy Lumina/Monte Carlo or a 1992-99 BMW 3-Series

I would suggest a 2007-2011 Hyundai Accent.
Pros- Easy to own and operate, FWD, available in manual transmission, some models have manual windows and doorlocks, Available in 4-door sedan or 2-door hatch, fairly new car, reliable engine, simple styling.
Cons- Unsafe
Both- Small and Light (can be good or bad, depending on what you want)

 

Whoa. I would've guessed it'd be the other way around.

Goes to show how little I know about these two cars. :|

 

I would suggest you to not to suggest other cars on a Would You Rather Questions

 

I would suggest that Korean cars of that era is shit. End of the story.

 

Of course, a s*** car to beat around and not care about.

 

Meh... The best of the worst is the BMW, just because I like it and there are some of those where I live. The chevy is like the car that is always destroyed in films...

 

my dad has a 1g eclipse w/ over 140 and aside from turbo and exhaust upgrades nothing else has been done to it as far as I know

 

Fun fact there is only 64 1994-99 Monte Carlos in film/tv

 

I would choose the BMW 3-series, even though the 3-series Compact is really ugly, the Chevy is even uglier

 

Peugeot 405 is a good starter car.

 

There is though a better one, and that car is: (also called the SAAB 9000)

 

An old luxury car is never a good first car. Oh, and OP never mentioned starter cars.

 

How can a saab be a luxury car???
--- Post updated ---

Pros: Safe, SAAB, quality, good looks, well.. this list can go on forever


Cons: Might be expensive in the US

 

E36 of course.
Much cheaper maintenance and many more parts for it.
Also is a better car, don't care about safety.
Gimme a NV 320i.

'Fu*k no, BMW engines cost like 250 dollars here. 100 for a 4-cyl.

 

By being big and luxurious?

These engines must be from stolen cars way past the end-of-life point and never maintained at all for last 5 years, with no warranty as a bonus. I'd never put that it in a car I wanted to keep for more than a week. Or even in one to be sold to anyone except a dismantler or a scrap metal recycler.

 

90s BMW engines are NOT thousands. Most are under a grand for a good one.

 

They aren't as luxurious as a LUXURY car like BMW 7-series, M-B S-class, Rolls, Bentley etc. etc.

 

Under a grand, but nowhere near $100. Where I live, $100 could only get you a 300K+ Golf 2 engine that has been lying in an open field for a decade, void of any warranty, of course. I doubt prices are any lower in US or Bulgaria (in ladafan's case).

 

400EUR for an M54 from a 65k E60.
