erusaro Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i wanna know if a 1998 bmw 740i would be better to get for a 16 year old boy or an accord(1999 or maybe 2001), i looked it up and they have the same acceleration but the bmw is a tank, and looks safer but i cant find safety ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99CiViCSi99 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Get the accord and give him the rest of the money you would have spent on the beemer so he can put it in the accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 740 is a tank and it will get much less gas mileage than the accord. Trepid's mom has one, actually it's a 750, and it's useful for long trips to Vegas, or for going wine tasting, but not for driving to high school and hanging out with the friends. The 740 is more of a 40+ year olds car, IMHO. For a young kid, get him the Accord and let him modify it to his hearts content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 im sure an accord is just as safe as a beemer as far as taking a crash goes , if thats what your main concern is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyhonda800 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 i would buy my 16 yr kiddo an accord first. it's cheaper to maintain and easier to trick out. let s/he build driving skillz first too before one would spend dough on an expensive car. now about your safe question? go here: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
