Zach2008 -> Automobiles: Which car is more reliable? (9/5/2008 10:51:11 PM)

I was not sure where to put this post. I decided to put it here, because cars are somewhat masculine(it seems natural for us males to fantasies about cars). My parents are going to buy a used car soon, and they told me they will give me this car within ten months(about the time I graduate High School). It is not really a graduation present, because I will still be able to use it, even before they transfer the ownership to me. The cars we are considering are the BMW 3-series (a late 90's model) or a Volvo S-series( a 2001 or later model). My parents already owned some Volvos, and it seems like they are incredibly safe, but have some electrical problems. Although I'd rather get a BMW, because of there superior styling and design, I know nothing mechanical about those cars. Of course, all European Import cars are expensive to maintain, but I need to know which one would need the lease maintenance. For example, I learned that Mercedes-Benz cars have some of the worst maintenance problems, so my parents won't buy me one of those no matter how cheap or expensive they are. The Internet car reviews I find seem varied, and the people there just seem to complain about the dealerships. Perhaps you guys would know form your personal experiences which is better.
Thanks for your time,
Zach
