 Least favorite feature:

No factory tuner version available (like M or AMG)

 Advice to buyer:

Great car and a good value in the low 30s.

 Detailed review:

This car is a sportier but slightly less roomy version of the BMW 325i sport wagon. If BMW offered all the wagon engines it offers in Europe (including both the 3 liter gas and diesel engines), I would have probably gone that route. That being said, the IS handling, steering and braking are phenominal and all this car needs is a supercharger to compete with the M3 on the track.

 Also considered:

2002 Volkswagen Passat
2003 Toyota Matrix
2002 BMW 3 Series

 Vehicle purchased:
