Hurricane is right, there is a full range of vehicles driven by mids from high end luxury cars to some huge trucks and everything in between. We had guys with BMWs, Corvettes, and other expensive vehicles. And yes, alot of mids do purchase vehicles with these loans, while some drive the cars they had in high school. To be honest, that loan is a nice thing and the more economical you are with it and invest early the better off you will be down the road. You will move alot in the first few years of active duty, especially pilots. A vehicle that is reliable, has good gas mileage, and can haul your stuff around is probably the best bet.
