I was in a similar situation (going to be in the same spot real soon again). I would argue if I'm going to be stuck driving something I wouldn't enjoy. Why don't you like the X3?

I am also in a similar situation. I want a Ferrari F430, but my parents are making me get a Murcielago.

it's all a thought right now...it's all a maybe...the thing is...cuz it's too expensive...i feel i shouldnt make them buy me a car that expensive as a gift...i'd be MORE than happy with a solara...my mother has it in her mind that a solara is a sports car and since i have somewhat of a "lead foot" she doesnt want me driving it

i was actually gonna get a X3 too cos it was pretty cheap compared to the bmw coupes, but my sis already has one. It's kinda odd to get two of the same car in the family. lol. so i'm now thinking bout a cheaper and cuter car.... the mini cooper s

anyways, congrats on your success in college... you'll have lots of fun with the X3 if you decide on getting it for sure

lol u should tell your mom that a solara is by no means a sports car. As for the X3, if u don't want it tell your parents it's too big (the solara isn't small by any means as well) and with gas prices these days, an suv wouldn't be a good choice (the X3 gets like 16 mpg). You might as well get a bmw 335i (twin turbo 300 hp) for $4k more than the X3

grrrats!

the best feeling in the world is when the parents offer you more than you want. it just shows that you truly deserve it in their perspective.

drive safe and happy motoring!
