Why is it bad to put a large downpayment on a car if the interest rate on a loan is low?

Looking to buy a car for 25k. Can get financing for 2.9% for 48 months. I thought putting down half and financing the rest would save me money, but others have told me not to since the interest rate is so low. Why? What other avenues can I make more than 2.9%/ year?

I'm really bad with numbers and finances, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
