Nicole's new car

[Lord_Zath]

Yep, Nicole's sick of dealing w/the Civic. So I thought maybe you guys could help give some serious insight towards a new car. Here's a list of specs she wants:

$20,000 max
4 doors (no coupes, also no wagons (protest))
AWD preferred but not a must
6CD changer or mp3 player

Otherwise, everything else will be taken as it comes. She's looking at either SUV or sedan. I think/hope I've convinced her to stay away from the SUV idea. We might look at a mazda 6 or 3 tomorrow. She will NOT get another Civic or Sentra. What do you guys think? I'm sure any help she can get on this would be appreciated!

Yeah she was thinking of asking you or ken about that. Thanks for offering to help!

yeah I'd concur.. a 2.5RS for AWD, 4 doors and under 20K

 

[Lord_Zath]

Yea just priced it out. comes in right under 20k. With the trade on her car, that'll hopefully put her at around 15k which is a comfortable price. I'm gonna keep pushing the hatch/wagon on her though for this and the 6! Much more practical and same price! lol

rs engine is really nice. its the same one in my dads outback. it sounds soo nice from 4k rpm - 6. and its pretty smooth all the way for a four cylinder. but i just cant get over how nice it sounds. the subaru has also been very reliable. no engine prob since 02 but thats only three years so i we'll see. and they've got alot of potential (first)

You know after looking at those pictures I realized a year ago I wouldn't be able to understand what the hell was going on in them. But now I know...

The RS would be a nice car for her. It has all of the above.

 

[Badger Biker]

I still favor the Mazda3 as Ken pointed out.

Although no hatchbacks means that you are eliminating the superior body style.
