Any Ideas On What Car To Buy? Wouldn't Mind Some Tips

[Forenci]

I mean, to each their own. I'm not really a car guy. I feel I can get an equal product for less money that is more efficient than many of the more expensive luxury cars and SUVs. Outside of A/C and having a radio, I don't really care much about what a car comes with. The fact my Civic came standard with a USB port so I could plug in my iPod and play it through my stereo was just an added bonus but certainly not something I would pay extra for.

A car is a car to me. As long as it's reliable, safe, efficient and gets me where I need to go that's all I care about. I'd rather dump more money into other things of importance. But hey, if you want and can afford something nice who am I to say it's silly?

I've never understood people who want to be higher in a car though. Maybe it's because I'm tall and don't really feel like I have that issue. My girlfriend is five feet and she says she feels safer in a higher car but I don't really understand. Unless you're in a massive car you can't really see more being higher up. Usually if you're something in high up the hood is longer so it negates that ability to see more below you.

i'm leasing a new 2013 hyundai elantra. it's a very smooth ride and a lot roomier than it seems. 28 mpg for me.

If I'm ever in a market for a new car this will be it, Toyota FJ.



But my 2004 honda is only at 99k miles with no problems.

How is the new Toyota Fj as far as comfort goes? It kind of sucks it is not a four door.
