I really like the Mark V Volkswagens right now. The Jetta TDI gets something like 40 miles to the gallon (diesel btw) and set some record in emmissions tests. Also pretty fast when you need it.

21,000$ new I think.

Go for the subaru legacy.
Nothing else can compare to it at it's price. Personally going to be getting a wrx, but since you don't want manual, i suggested the legacy.

Last month I got me my first car, a nine years old Audi A6 2.5l diesel V6, 5-gear tiptronic, FWD but there are 4x4 variants of that same car. I got it for just $6000 too, so I know I won't regret it even if it only lasts till the end of the year. So far it looks good like it will last forever though :p

For me buying new was just too expensive. But prices in the USA seem to be a lot lower - that Subaru Legacy for example seems like a good deal at $24000, it actually starts from $43000 in Bulgaria, and that's for a 2.0 liters engine

I wonder if there is such a huge difference in used car prices as well.

Oh, BTW 4x4 would burn more fuel and I'd guess a normal two-wheel drive with some differential locking system would be enough for you anyway.

Get a toyota corolla they are nice and exactly what you're looking for. I have one, its the best "cars a car" car you can get. Its in your price range, good gas mileage, lasts a long time, and I cant think of anything negative about a corolla. I know my brother's is only 3 years old and its value actually has increased. Mine is about 8 years old, and the only problem I have had was someone broke a window to get in and realized I didn't have anything worth taking after they fucked with my radio and left.

Im not a car guy though, I just feel the same about cars as you do and I feel 105% happy with the corolla. Not sure what the latest versions have or whatever, but its a good "brand."


You're talking about Toyota Altis Corolla right?

I dont see a point of buying a Mutsibishi or Subaru if you dont want manual transmission.

You must not be interested in the normal civic/accord eh Peter? Cause I know you must know about em and you probably wouldn't make a thread about this if you were, since they're like super reliable, easy, cheap, etc. Oh, I have nothing to contribute, I know fuck all about cars

It's not fair to make fun of Americans who want to get Automatic cars because even if they wanted to 'man up' they really couldn't because most don't have access to standards to practice on. I was lucky my dad drove a stick and he taught me.

There are automatic WRX's (older models) too and only STi's are manual. You can always buy the newer gen Civics since they looks really nice/cool, gas saver, and a good all-around car imo.

Just means he sees driving as a means to an end to get from point a to point b and doesn't take it as a job or entertainment or some sort.

It's not like he needs extra high performance... no one really needs to unless they race or need the extra bit of power for pulling things, also personal experience in California having to operate manual where the traffic speed varies quite a bit from mile to mile is more work then i like when driving. Really i see manual transmission as a dieing breed at least in America were when automatic can perform nearly just as good in reasonable ie non commercial situations.

Driving stick isn't really taught except by friends or family in the US at least i only know from a friends dad.

imo what's wrong with an impala that has plenty of get up as is a very roomy car.

Wind noise, frequent ride motions, body lean, ESC is not standard on base models, fuel economy not great, brakes have long stopping distance (especially in wet), lights produce large amounts of glare, driver comfort is not great, rear visibility is poor, flat leather seats allow too much lateral movement while turning, rear head/leg room are surprisingly low for such a big car, entry through car door is uncomfortable (high sill, sloping roof), temperature controls are hard to adjust, limited dash/console storage, reliability is predicted to be average, predicted depreciation is large.

It's an okay car but there are better alternatives.

Get a 2007/2008 Pontiac Vibe? I have a 2007 and it meets all your requirements. I'm not 100% sure on the head room but I'm 6'0 tall and it's big enough for me but I figure you'd test drive it first anyway.

He wants a sedan although if he's willing to get a hatch then it's ok.

I drive a manual and there is nothing good about it.

Good commuter cars, like people keep saying: Corolla, Civic. Cheap, efficient, reliable.

vibe is basically a toyota matrix with a pontiac badge on it. the matrix probably has better resale value though. world's a funny place.

also i know the new matrix has an awd option not sure if the vibe does
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.
