So, nearly 3 months later, I'm getting a new car..

The_motivator · 05-15-2007, 12:18 PM

Got the insurance check, came out to about $19,000. Need to find a nice used car. Been looking at the Sonata v6 3.3L version, looks nice, has great safety, and puts out some respectable HP... 'Rents have been pushing for a civic, but we haven't gone out to test drive yet.... got any ideas? Tryin to stay below 40k miles.

Well there are a wack of cars out there, what do you want out of the car? Do you need 2 or 4 doors. Performance or comfort?

The sonata has some good reviews. The Mazda 6 supposedly handles well but it's V6 doesn't really deliver enough punch compared to others in its class. The Altima V6 is probably one I would suggest looking into, good handling, comfort and the V6 in it is one of the best in class. I'm a big Subaru fan, you could look into a Legacey with the 2.5 Turbo which is going to run with the V6 cars easily. But if you have more specifics I could suggest some others.

You have just got to be kidding me...they really sold that?

A freakin' Messerschmitt no less.

UPDATE:

Parents decided to toss a few hundred in and go from a used Civic we were eyeing to a brand new 07 Civic LX, so lucky me.

So far the car is damn nice... Only complaint is the lack of power ports.
