ok here is the dilemma that I thought my fellow Terbites can give some advice, having been in an accident where the car was totaled a few months back I am looking into getting a new car, the last one was a Toyota Corolla S model, my price range is around the 25 to 30 k give or take a couple of thousand, any recommendations.
car recommendations
- Thread starter scouser1
- Start date
Best Choice should be of:-
Honda Accord/Civic
Toyota Camery/Corolla
Honda's CRV new sleek model is expected in 2-weeks time at our Canadian Stores, its a real beauty with elegance new body & interior.
Toyota's RAV IV New model of 2006 is unique & popular too.
Mazda 6 & 3 Series Version.
Nissan Car's are also sleek & good, but not good as Honda or Toyota.
Pontiac has come out with beautiful models, & they are capturing some market due to their new styleing & new models.
Goodluck in your hunt for a new car in your range of 25~30 plenty of choice available for u in that range which is most comfortable

The new hondas are getting rave reviews and look damn hot too....but (and I never thought I'd say this) but the dodge calibre is a tough looking little vehicle and pretty cheap too. Nothing but good things about it as far as I know.....
I do love Hondas and Toyotas in that you can basically drive the hell out of them for years and they still are very reliable, but looking for a change the idea of a used Audi or BMW isnt bad at all as long as it stays in my price range
How about a Saab 9-2, basically a non boy racer version of the Subaru WRX

You don't know when you are well off... Both Audi and BMW start conking out when the warranty expires. Repairs are expensive and both are very finicky cars. They depreciate very quickly . . stick with Toyota, Honda, Nissan or maybe Mazda.
When buying, check out the record of the dealer's service department. Mazda3 and Mazda6 have been successful in sales. not sure that they backed up with proper service.
Never, never buy VW. Service sucks, the cars are made in Mexico and trouble starts on day two.
My 2 cents
I drive a 2002 Audi and when it's working, its beautiful. But the maintenance costs are stupid, and its a delicate car, in the sense that you have to keep on top of the maintenance schedule. But when it's working.....wow. I will offer the same comments on a 2-3 year old BMW 3 series.
When I bought the Audi last summer, my other contenders were Nissan Altima, Maxima, and Honda Accord, as well as the BMW.
I thought the Altima's interior had a cheap look and feel to it, a very ugly/awkward cockpit layout, and the road noise was horrendous. Maxima is a much different car than the Altima, and was a joy to test drive. I passed on it simply because the new "moon" roofs don't open, and because it was a bit big in terms of size and engine.
The Accord is, to me, a sexy and beautiful car, but Honda's maintenance costs are also stupidly high. But if you are willing to stay on top of the routine maintenance, I would say the Accord, Maxima, Audi, and BMW are all great choices. Good looking, and all come with excellent overall reliability ratings. The Japanese cars are probably better, in terms of ease of maintenance and overall reliabilty, but the German cars will be more enjoyable to own and drive.

Subarus are nice. A bit pricy considering you are paying extra for AWD. Can't go wrong with Accord, but its showing its age and is due to for another makeover.
Corollas will be redesigned for 08. The 07 Camry looks sporty & classy. No longer looks conservative. The cost for a fully loaded Corolla can get you a base model Camry that is pretty much fully loaded, bigger & more comfortable. Accord handles a bit better.

If you were responsible for the car accident you might want to check with your
insurance company/broker. You insurance rates could really go up depending on your choice. They could really nail you for a more sporty car .
It could have a bearing on what you buy as a replacement car and what you have left for hobbying.

Oil Please
