    Best car for under 20k?

    Finally shopping for a new car, and this time i'm gonna go get a brand new one

    Anyways, just checking it out, seeing what I like. I have come up with a couple I like so far...I mainly want a car that is going to last me a while and is easy to drive long distances with.

    1. Hyundai Tiburon
    2. Chevrolet Cavalier
    3. Pontiac Sunfire

    Am I going in the right direction? Anyone have any recommends? I would appreciate it

        get a used car at that price.

        at least with only a couple thousand miles on it. you will save like 7k

          If you want something that will last you a while, and you drive a lot. Take a look that the subaru. I have a friend that has one with 400k miles on it. Regular oil changes, and spark plugs. and changes the belts.

            Look at a car a couple years old , we got a sable two years old with 30 k on it. It was all leather ,all power and saved alot of money. Also got the extended ford warranty. A little used you get alot more car for your money.

              Honda Civic=for best/most mileage out of a car
              Chevy Cav=great car, great on gas, cheap & easy as hell to fix on too.

              i'd go with one of those 2 cars.

                ahhh.... 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, a classic, very limited. very fast.

                holds its value unlike these new cars, it will be worth 20k in 5 years still.

                AWD, HUGE V6, TURBO!!!! what more can you ask for??

                    I just sold Syclone #1284 not too long ago. I miss it dearly... thinking of picking another Sy/Ty up soon.

                    Not too many out there.

                      Tiburon isn't a bad buy, get it a year old or less instead to save on the final price too. The warranties are great, and the car looks like it costs much more.

                        The Civic was also in my top 5

                          Go with the Cavalier, though you may have trouble spotting yours in a busy parking lot ...

                              scion tc. literally best car for under 20k. and its gonna retain value like a beotch. plus, they are loaded with features, and pretty cool. 160hp. handles nice. feels solid.

                              either that, or a civic. dont waste your $$ on the 3 shitboxes you listed

                                When you buy a brand new car , the momement you drive out of the lot you lose atleast 3 or 4k. Best is buy a vehicle with low milaege , say 10k miles you will safe a bunch.

                                I will root for honda ( I had one which I put over 190k miles ) subaru also good.
                                Avoid VW at all cost, my chick harassed me to get her a VW , and we have to get rid of it in a year. Volvo's are good to , its just it cost a bit when it comes to insurance and maintenance

                                  it's based on the s10 blazer, that is a small suv.

                                  i wouldve said go with this syclone: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6251

                                  but its got 80k miles.

                                      the drivetrain in the TC is a camry engine/tranny. so, its a proven combo. Runs good and lasts a billion miles.


                                      and no, i dont have a TC. but i almost bought one. just couldnt take that over a 350z tho

                                            Yup, still get the warranty and everything just as it would be if u got it from a dealer

                                                                                                    Anyways, just checking it out, seeing what I like. I have come up with a couple I like so far...I mainly want a car that is going to last me a while and is easy to drive long distances with.

                                                                                                    1. Hyundai Tiburon
                                                                                                    2. Chevrolet Cavalier
                                                                                                    3. Pontiac Sunfire

                                                                                                    Am I going in the right direction? Anyone have any recommends? I would appreciate it
                                                                                                    1. Sits too low to the gorund, window rest is literaly above your shoulder, very uncomfortable to drive.
                                                                                                    2. Junk. There's a reaosn that scrap yards are full of Cavalier's less than 10 years old.
                                                                                                    3. Even worse.


                                                                                                    Go to your local Honda dealer and test drive a Civic or an Accord. You'll fall in love with the smooth ride and comfortable driving position.
