best grocery car to lease?
 

hey guys, my dad just retired this summer and came back to vancouver and will be permanently staying here now.
he is looking to lease a NEW car. we are replacing our 2nd gen honda fit with it. he doesnt like the fit cause i-vtec barely kicks in :troll:
so ideally something that has more power than the fit, can store things, reliable cheap(ish) to lease, and most importantly fuel efficient(ish).
it wont be garage kept, will be getting beat up and will have shitload of milage on it in the next 2 years.

we already have a luxury sedan, mini jcw (so nothing similar like the golf/gti) and a new sports car.

things he is considering right now is the matrix xr/xrs, civic, csx and corolla.
dont know why he doesnt want the cube tho..

every suggestion will be helpful thanks.

a toyota should fit the bill, specifically the corollas. think about it, theres literally not much maintenance to it, all u have to do is change oil every so often, and its also good on gas. not sure on the lease rates for it tho.

i say go with the corolla

yeah corolla and matrix looks really good right now.
he wants the matrix for the space

Go for the matrix!

Go for the Matrix or see if you can find any good deals on remaining 2010 Corolla's. As you prob seen the 2011 Corolla pictures by now...

Get the pontiac vibe. Imo looks better then matrix.

any other suggestions tho?
impreza any good or is the matrix better bang for the buck?

Get a Nissan JUKE (joke) lol :thumbsup: but for real I'd get a Subaru Impreza

subaru impreza base model... even the base model will give you the AWD stability and safety :)

elantra, sx4, forte

Impreza! :D

kia forte 5 door

imo it looks 1000000000000000x better than a matrix and is just as reliable and cheaper

Scion xB

Since he's leasing, the Kia Forte isn't so bad. It has its shortcomings compared to its competitors but the price point and promotions that can be had make it worthwhile to consider. I got a Kia Forte as a rental in Los Angeles and it was pretty good on gas. Mind you, this was all US freeway driving but even in the city, it wasn't so bad.

these KIA are getting nicer and nicer. Where as the Japanese cars are getting more expensive to buy and the quality of them going downhill. My family moved away from buying japanese because even some domestic cars are better and cheaper also just as reliable.

Their interiors are still shitty. :p

prius...?

honda fit

oh nvm LOLOL

matrix or imprezza

How about Lancer or CR-Z?

think about the situation and then think about the CR-Z for a bit...and then think to your self is the CR-Z really the best choice for his dad?

perhaps think about it while making some brownies since you love cooking

What about the Chevy Cruze? However, I hear that interiors on most domestics use cheap material, dunno if that matters to your dad though. Otherwise, Matrix or some kind of Hyundai, especially with the clearout deals going on right now.

Camry Hybrid? Reliable, fuel-efficient and there's some incentives being put out right now. Very comfortable old man car.

Sonata 2.0T? Powerful, roomy, sexy. Turbo engine with 274 horses and 270lb/ft... a plateau of torque. Pretty good deals too. Fuel economy is 9.3/6.0/7.8 which is not bad!

good suggestion! will thank you later ran out of thanks.

fuel efficient and all but not enough powaaaa. remember the car we are talking about is going to be a snowplow and get up hills during winter..

yeah kias are getting nicer.. my dad doesnt like kia or hyundai cause he doesnt trust those two brands.. guess he hasnt noticed their improvements over the years..

wayyy out of question.. cr-z is two door and everything else i listed was 4 were 4 doors. he looked at the cr-z already. loved it but wished it came in 4 door. then the dealer lead him to the insight and he just did this ":scared" LOL
as for the lancer its a bit too pricy for what we get.

ran out of thanks. thank you later ):

ill look into the cruze. interior for the cruze isnt that bad.. way nicer than our fit for sure. *thank* you later i ran out of thanks

cruze's interior isn't too shabby..
