Since I'm going to be driving it 90% of the time I at lest want to enjoy it. That's why no fwd eco boxes for me.
And I honestly don't have the time and patience to be jerking around a nice little hatch back like I used too. ..... take that how ever you thought it like.

Camero, smh.

That would be an ordeal, besides I don't think they can stand hanging in a car or going about other car lots for more than an hour. They don't know much about cars. Heck all their cars I they bought I was the one that chose them.

Now it make sense. You gotta give lil bit more info.

Then I would recommend Forester. They’re big & nice for elderly ppl to get in & out of. My mom have ‘18 Forester XT & she’s enjoying riding and driving it. She do give rides to several elderly ppl per wk (for church stuff) and all of em enjoy it.

After I saw a guy in a C63 AMG proceed to fill his tank up with regular gas, I no longer believe in buying used cars. You just never know.

That being said, don't get a BRZ/frs. If a little video like shifting from 2nd to 1st makes you think about getting that car then don't do it.

Buy a civic. Problem solved

Sometimes I think nah, there is no way they really wanted to post it. Or it's such a troll post, but do a little digging and peek at some social media and wow, yeah there is gold in them hills.

Any who, cool story bro. (Sell your 86 and buy a civic.) ��

Forester xt for sure. After having two normal foresters and multiple other crossovers..... the forester is hard to beat in driving fun and actual utility. Make it an xt and have a great vehicle that holds its value while being one of the most versatile vehicles you'll ever own.

Even without precedent (which I thought was real funny btw), "I need a car with 4 seats" usually points to Civic.

Touché

As much as I "love" recommending civics to other people, I'm not those people.

I'd definitely try the infiniti's they are severely underappreciated, and they seem to fall mid 20's used with awd.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-06-2018, 08:07 AM

Now that you mentioned elderly parents, I say go with the Fozzy.

mazeroni · 07-06-2018, 09:13 AM

Test drive a used ATS. It's small and light. The V6 should be plenty fast. The 2.0T is supposed to be good provided it is a later model with the 8 speed auto.

gtpvette · 07-06-2018, 09:37 AM

Try a CTS. 4-door is probably more practical,,, 2-door is sweet. Same 3.6l V-6 as Camaro,, 320ish HP. Lots of low mileage ones around, well within your price point,,way better than Camaro.
