The Nissan CVT's are rather awesome when attached to that VQ engine. In the Murano it just flies, and gas mileage is about 22, which isn't too bad.

OP, have you tried testing driving the two cars yet since your last post? If not, then you're just going to get the same answers as before...

I only read the first 30 posts and fully expect this thread to have gone way off topic by now, nonetheless I have a 2013 FR-S MT which I use as a toy, and a 2011 335is MT which I use as a daily. I'd prefer the 3 series as a daily between the two, but if I could only have one, I'd definitely go with the 86.

you already got the answer.

if you care about brand/image -> gtfo
if you dont, then how hard is it to understand the dimensions of this car? 2700 lbs and 200 HP stock, hmm, must be a hard one to compute.
