what car to get? 6-10k used.
 

im looking to get a used car soon since taking th ebus is unbearable and takes half the day away, plus gas is cheaper in winnipeg.

heres what i need:
-good fuel econ
-4 doors
-not older than 2005
-gas
-sedan
-4cyl

i was thinking a corolla or some mid-size seda

i know theres millions of threads like this but im just so overwhelmed by all the choices. i dont even remember all the brands and all the models they have

thanks in advance

If you're looking for a combination of fuel efficiency and style (typical response), the newer civics are wonderful vehicles. You can nab one for around 10k.

honda s2000 with spoon calipers and spoon intake

It's not great on gas but if I had to get a sedan for that much and didn't care all too much about performance i'd go for the look and i think this does the job quite well. lots for 11-13K

civic
mazda 3
toyota matrix

in terms of midsize....
camry
accord
maybe fusion

a brand new Hyundai Accent

the current gen Sonatas are quite nice :)

Baller status?

Not to stereotype but I have seen a handfull of brown guys in these with big chrome rims and they think its a ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM.

Obviously there's gonna be some posers and tools who wanna make it something it isn't...i'm just suggesting it cause it's a pretty goodlooking and roomy car. Fairly classy and mature (obama drove one before presidency :fullofwin:) and all at a decent price.

There's a reason it sold as much as it did. No need for the fails simply because you probably aren't fond of the chrysler brand. Reliability ratings have also been great.

^maybe you should read the post more carefully?

he's not willing to fork out on a v6 and cares about gas mileage..
yet you are suggesting rwd tank that weighs 2 tons with a 3.5 v6?

:rukidding:

i dont care about looks.

ive dont some research and now im thinking
-2007+ altima $10-13k
-2003+ accord $8-11k
-2003+ corolla $6-10k
-2003+ mazda3 $6-10k

what im not considering and the reason
-fusion - 1st gen is ugly and review say the 4cyl is weak
-camry - no handling and bad visibiliy

does anyone have suggestions for small suvs??

lolwut, camry handles pretty good and visibility isn't a problem

Mazda 3 is the only decent car you are considering. Subaru impreza, legacy, jetta tdi and 2.0t, WELL MAINTAINED audi a4 turbo, passat turbo are other options... As a car guy I am not able to recomend shitty cars, sorry for the inconvenience ;)

any small suv recommendations?

How about Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4?

i think ive narrowed it down to accord or mazda 3

what years of these models should i look for? what are common problems?

accord v6 since you said you wont rule it out

It'll be hard to find a 05+ CRV/Rav4 for under 10k.

Don't get an 02 Accord, the automatic transmissions are ticking time bombs, known to fail prematurely and cost for a replacement.

mostly applies to v6

ive updated the op.

so 4cyl sedan is what i want.

deciding between these: accord, mazda3, and corolla.

reason im sconsidereingt he corolla now is because of the super fuel economy. compmared to the mazda3 (2Lengine) is the mazda3 much worse?? 32 vs 37mpg

TRASH CAR

get a polish dodge charger 06 and turn your sirens on so you will never be late for anything and ram your way out of trouble :)

and its only 9k and v8 5.6hemi
Dodge Charger Police 2006

could also get a non police charger for 9.5k sxt great on gas

I have a 2002 Corolla with 205k in my garage that is not in use, looking for $4800. Are you back in Vancouver now?
