go drive them all, decide which one YOU like the best

they are all great reliable cars. you can read reviews all day long, but you have to drive it everyday and live with the payments

Bahhbeehhaaaa 01-19-2012 08:26 PM

lol with only 30k you pretty much listed all the good ones.. why not buy 08 09? with 30k you can pick up something decent

Wait for the scion frs?

Why buy a brand new car only to get raped by the initial depreciation. Buy something that's a couple years old. :fullofwin:

ilvtofu 01-19-2012 09:19 PM

Lol this is the most vague "want to buy" thread yet....

tiger_handheld 01-19-2012 09:59 PM

"When the Toyota FT-86 concept was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, we were surprised and delighted at the prospect of an attractive, rear-wheel-drive 2+2 with a $20,000 price tag."

It's probably in American currency but It will probably be close to 30K CDN

sorry if i was 'vague'
i'm borrowing money from my parents and paying them off (like financing)
while i would love to buy a used car, they had bad experience with used car and only advocate getting a new one as it has 'warranty'
thats why i'm trying to see what else have i missed that i should check out.

as to the fs-r, i am looking at that, but any news on when its coming out and price? last time i checked, it was estimated at 25k, but thats an estimate, and since this is canada, its probably 30k base...

punkwax 01-21-2012 02:35 PM

Cars still have 'warranty' after a couple years ...

Sky_High 01-21-2012 02:39 PM

OP,

Get a 2012 Toyota Prius C

Preview: 2012 Toyota Prius C - Autos.ca

Priced at under $21g for base model, even in Canada. 3.7L / 100km
You'll thank me a couple years down the road for not having one speeding ticket / VI :troll:

That's ridiculous, not only are warranties for nearly new cars transferable at ownership changes, but the amount you lose by taking a massive hit in initial depression alone outweighs the cost of any repair on the type of cars you're looking at, including major major drive train repairs like engine or transmission rebuilds.

dude, just go test drive all of them and decide yourself. why do people keep coming on here to let complete strangers choose their cars for them?
