Friday October 01, 2004 After 2 1/2 years of abusive driving I've already put 53,000 miles to my poor car: 2002 BMW 325i. It's not the long distance driving that resulted in this ultra high-mileage, but it was the extensive driving between Sun offices and clients in the greater Los Angeles area. (Ok... fine.. from LA to San Diego too) I gotta admit that the handling of a BMW's is remarkable, no wonder it's marketed as the Ultimate Driving machine - there is no doubt to that. On the other hand, this car is costly! (well.. at least to me) My monthly payments, car insurance, break/fix cost (since the warranty has just expired), and the ever climbing of the gasoline price all adds up! Farewell, my dear (poor) BMW. If anyone knows, please let me know which car has the handling as good as BMW's.. because after being spoiled by my bmw, all other cars are like toys to me! :-(

At least you got to sell yours. I had my '75 2002tii stolen while not insured last year... *cry*
Must agree with the "sheer driving pleasure though.

Welcome to the blogsphere!
I can't speak for too many other cars, but having driven a few BMWs, I'd have to say my Infiniti G35 Coupe handles quite well. Let me know if you need a demo. :)
The best handling car I've driven in the last few years though, other than the Porsche Turbo Carrera, is probably the Mazda RX-8. It's pretty inexpensive too. Gas mileage isn't great though.
