I agree with 04BlackMaxx but I see 2LEET4U's point. Here is the reason.
If you have to finance a car for 6-7 years in order to make the payment affordable for you, then you're probably buying too much car. I don't care what car it is, if you're financing for 7 years, you will end up with lots of negative equity in the car, meaning the car will depreciate way faster than you're paying it off. It just isn't a wise financial move.
