The 3-series is way too small inside for me, plus the styling is boring (especially the I.P., which looks like every BMW I.P. since the 60s). The 9-3 rides too harshly and has a bad reputation for reliability. Plus, the nearest BMW and M-B dealer are 35 miles from the town where I live; the Audi and Saab dealers are closer to 50 miles away. That was a big factor for me. Also, I purchased my Intrepid. I would have had to lease an Audi, Saab, or BMW.
