Hello, self intro

[Rod]

Hi all,

Rod here, currently driving a honda accord CL7 for past 5 years (drove abt 160000km), going to expire in Apr 17, as such is looking at getting a 2nd hand car. Previous rides include 91' Starlet, 04' Lancer and 06' Latio, all 2nd hand. I'm more on the economical mode, low down-payment with reasonable OMV type of car. The current market, wife advise me to look at conti as it make more economical sense to get a 2nd hand with high omv to drive for 2-3 years (plus her frens are changing to 2nd hand conti as well...), thus join this forum for some advise for bmw, was looking at a few option

- 08'-10' 520, X3
- 08'-10' A6, Q5
- camry or forester (i had grew comfortable with Jap build, and always timely done my servicing, standard wear and tear repair)
(after joining the audi forum and reading through, had since dropped the idea for an audi...)

Utility-wise, very heavy usage, needed a decent car, large enough to bring 2 kids (aged 3 and 5mths) n wife n maid n a lot barang barang daily between home, sch, care-taker place etc...

looking forward to any kind soul for pointers.

Thanks,
Considering Wish or Odyssey, but given slightly lower downpayment and similar installment, the much higher OMV in the conti catergory was a catch point
