bought le gf a forester xt and its been GREAT! Despite having my own cars, i take all opportunities to drive hers. :fullofwin: |
With that budget, and needing something reliable and somewhat "professional-looking", I'd probably end up in a TSX. 2008 ACURA TSX |
what about the last-gen mitsubishi outlander? this is just an example: 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS Blue 4wd http://images.craigslist.org/00V0V_b...8k_600x450.jpg 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV Review | Edmunds.com you can switch between 2wd/4wd auto/4wd lock, v6 power, generally good reliablity, five years/100,000 km on basic items, and ten years/160,000 km on powertrain? http://images.craigslist.org/01313_h...Dx_600x450.jpg as for modding... :devil: http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/01/s...pocket-rocket/ http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....1/img_6491.jpg |

The GF wants a small suv/CUV and im really not sure if I should go brand new, or slightly used via craigslist. I'm usually anti brand new because of dealership markups and depreciation but this is something she is planning on keeping for a long time. I know 2002-2006 CRV's are the best ever. No recalls and are absolute tanks. She find it too old though. Newer CRV's don't compare in quality to the 06's. I'm intrigued but Kia's and Hyundai's. A lot of bang for buck but long term reliability and performance is still a big ??? Rav4's are just too damn expensive. Great cars but huge markup. Anyone know anything about Mazdas? Why are they so much cheaper than toyotas and hondas and why do they depreciate so fast. Are the CX models good? Same thing with the Outlanders. They depreciate quickly. Are they any good? |

I'm selling my 03 accord. It's a 4 cylinder automatic so i was never plagued with the tranny issues that the 6 cylinder engines had. Was driven by my mom since 2006 until November so you know it's always been driven lightly. Anyways, let me know if interested. |
Fuck your girlfriend drives the oatmeal of cars |
[edit] found it nvm |
TSX or even the 05/06 RSX both are somewhat professional, tons of aftermarket parts, doesn't have the bad auto tranny that plagues the honda V6 TSX takes premium gas though I also think the Subaru Legacy fits the bill..just gotta check the head gaskets for mid 2000's and older...IS250 sounds good too for young professionals |

8th gen Honda Accord Sedans are awesome. Just don't get the Facelifted body style, it costs more and is a whole lot uglier. Out of curiosity has she thought about leasing? Lease rates on a brand new accord are pretty good. |

nabs took his cross-country without any issues and even though it uses premium fuel, the thing gets incredible mileage. Last time I drove it, the low fuel light didn't turn on til it had like 620km or something stupid on the tripmeter. edit - and it has over 220k km on it, just well maintained. |
first gen rdx over rav 4 all day. or consider one of the subaru options, outback forester. |
