Advice to buyer:	If you don't need that beemer the value for your money goes a long way with this car
Detailed review:	I liked the TL. For the price and features it seems to be a steal,...seems to be. I found that the comfort level could not be matched by anything in this price range. Car is loaded, no addins needed except for the GPS. Car takes you down the road in style and comfort, that-is as long as the road is straight. Do not compare this car with a BMW 3 Series, it does not even come close to being that animal! No hard cornering or you will sit in the lap of your passenger, too much dive ! Speed is ample for passing and pulling away when you need to, nothing exciting. The ride position is awesome and inviting. Once you close the door it is like being in a working Get Smart Dome of Silence, nothing gets through..nice. You can get a base BMW 323 for less than this car but you are trading status and handling for ride and comfort. If you want to equip the beemer the same way you will pay another 6,000 give or take a couple of bucks. Worth it? I don't know I still have not made up my mind about which kind of animal I want to be, domestic pet or wild jungle beast!
Also considered:	2000 BMW 323 2000 Volkswagen Passat
