Gonna need a family car soon, to get around...
My girlfriend and I are planning on getting married sometime in the spring, then moving to the suburbs. I have my S2000, but that will become a garage queen (she's now a driveway and 2 car cover queen.) I need something good, reliable, not too expensive, comfortable, affordable, good looking, 4WD if possible, and has some balls to it would be a nice bonus.
Now, I saw a new Mazda 6 whiz by me the other day, and I thought it looked damn good. The optioned out one looks like a nice car. I was also looking at the Scion Xb as i love the utility of it, and lack of gas guzzlage. I know I can walk into any American car dealer, and get 40% off on whatever I want, but i really don't want an American car. (Unless it's like 60% off.) Anyone have any recommendations on a good 4 door/small SUV car...trying to stay sub $35K if possible. |
well i like the xb's, theyre reliable and have alot of aftermarket parts if you ever decide to mod it.
i also really liked the rav 4 and 4 runner |

I'm contemplating picking up one of these. My girlfriend wants one, but I may just snag one before her. Its practical, not bad on gas at all, kinda has some grunt.... Nah not really who the hell am I kidding. But I think its a looker. Its definitely pricier than a Scion, looks alot better, but cheaper than an optioned out Mazda 6. The usable space when you fold the seats "up" is ridiculous and the back seats have tons of room. |
You can get a pretty nice CR-V for $26K or so (selling at invoice these days).
A Toyota RAV4 with the V6 is quite a bit quicker and not too much worse for fuel economy. A Subaru makes the most sense to me, though - get the WRX or Legacy and you have a year-round car with decent room, decent mileage, fairly nice to drive, and well under your price range, even fully loaded. |
RAV4.
Caddy CTS, Accord, Camry, G37 etc. Want us to choose your underwear for you too? |
g37, b8 a4,g8 (could be had for really cheap), cts, tl (if you're blind)
|
G8 might be fun. No AWD though. Easy to mod if you need more speed.
|
Outback Dave, Outback.. we're picking one up in February, but we've got two kiddies already.
|
STI
EVO R32-VW RL-Honda Thats it right off the top of my head :shrug: |
What about an A3?
