Getting a new car.... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Dkavtbek** · 03-04-2009, 12:05 PM

My dad is helping me look for a new car (it doesnt have to be brand spanking new) but something more newer than what I have now. Something more reliable.
But I need something that is practible too. Something made for kids and something that wont give me $500 a month car payments either (because it will be just me making payments, no help from anyone else)
Anyone got any suggestions on cars I could look at?

Get a VW. As much as I hate to say it, being British, they make the best, most reliable cars.

(apart from the Beetle which is the shittest car ever)

I pretty much agree with Peter. A buddy of mine has a vw jetta tdi and it get over 50mpg. Also my mom had a honda civic for the longest time. Bought brand new in 1990 and it lasted until 2006 when we got her a new car. My friend bought a honda accord(used) for around 13,000 a year ago I believe. So vw or honda I would say.

I saw my old VW Polo on the road at Christmas, still MOTed and it is now passed 160,000 miles and it,s only a 1L.!

If you want reliability, go with a Toyota.

A Honda Civic.

It's slow and not really all that fancy, however it will run for 300k miles even if you treat it like shit.

If something breaks, aftermarket parts are available which are just as good as the ones from Honda and they're cheap.

I used to tune imports, I have a lot of experience with them. I recommend any car from Honda/Acura.
