1.) Jetta is 2005-2008, still under warranty $15,000-$19,000 under 25k miles

2.) Mazda 3,5, or 6. 2004-2008. still under warranty $8,000-$15000 under 25k miles

3.) Bmw 330 2003 with 48000 and no warranty :( but my fave car ever!!!!! $12,000-18000

1.) Which is cheapest or best on maintenance?
2.) What if i get extended warranty for bmw? I wont have to pay as much for parts....right??
3.) Which car is best in the long run?

Gas is not biggest concern because they are all pretty close. And my insurance is not over $150 on all 3!!! yay!!!

I agree with turbocharged83, and JPA...but hey if you have the money get a bmw all the way you will attract girls like crazy I know cuz i was one of them.But I had a mustang as my first car...still good times tho ;P
 
A Mazda would definitely be the most reliable out of the three. The Jetta is under warranty and all but from my own personal experience, Volkswagens aren't particularly reliable and the dealership service is horrible. They are nice, fun, good-looking cars though. The BMW sounds very appealing, and if it's been properly cared for it will be every bit as reliable as a Mazda. However, if it's previous owner wasn't fastidious on the maintenance, it could be a total lemon. Take a look at that Bimmer, have a BMW certified mechanic look at it, look at all of the service records and make sure NOTHING is out of place. If everything looks perfect, get the BMW and maintain it as you properly should. They include a service booklet so you know exactly when to get it serviced and what needs to be done so there aren't any surprises. If you take good care of a BMW, it'll last forever and it'll be a lot more fun and satisfying than a Mazda or Volkswagen.
