It's a jerk question BUT The answer must always be; bc its cheaper, whether in the long run with maintenance, gas, repairs or in the short run with a cheaper buy in. Saying reliability is never going to go over well. People will just say, "why not a Honda then" or a million other comments/thoughts.
When people ask what i drive, I mostly ignore the question. I know its rarely coming from a good place. The people that know me, don't need to ask that question. The people that don't really know me, are trying to work a prick angle to break balls or make trouble. People are just nasty.
I work in a business where everyone on the floor can afford BMWs or better... Kid from a recent analyst class mentioned his BMW in conversation and someone senior overheard.. His name is now BMW, non stop ball breaking for the past 2 years. Point is people always look to break balls over owning one of these cars especially if they can bait you into bragging about it.
I hate this thread.
