My pick though would be the Legacy Outback, its stylish, well refined, realiable and at its core still a tractor.
I've only driven Old BMW 3 series E36 (i think) and its heavy, not my type of car. Also the latest CLK240, that was nice but considering its 3 times what I paid for my Subaru and its slow, definatly not worth the money here IMO.
I like Civic and Corolla beacuse the fill'n go factor, talking my GF into getting a Corolla, its really a great car for the price.

Oh yeah, I saw a Subaru Legacy last week all decked out in leather and everything it was nice. Very refined look indeed.
The E36 3 series is definitely heavy. But that's what I like about it. It gives off that solid feel, at the same time when the corners comes up, it is also very agile. That's what I liked about it. Inline 6s has lots of torque and good HP.
But like I said, you have to get a manual to really enjoy it.
