For an 18 year old.

Go green...  What do you think the resale value is going to be like when cars are going to get more efficient and gas prices climb higher?  Hybrids are just getting better and better!

But, it you're not worried about that.  I'd go with the BMW.

Answer 2

Nissan - the BMW will be in the shop all the time and the repair bills will be a fortune. I had a 3 series, and a 5 series - both constantly broke down.  Normally it was something small, but even the wipers on my 3 series cost me 300 bucks to repair.  The maintenance is a small fortune if you don't have a warranty on the BMW - go with the Nissan.

Answer 3

I'd go with the 3 series easily. Faster, handles better, safer, probably more reliable. It will be more to insure and much more expensive to maintain however.
