As of now, my 2004 Honda Pilot has bit the dust, and I'm currently on the fence for two cars. My budget is 25k. I was looking at the [URL="http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-z/"]CR-Z[/URL]. I love the sporty look of it and MPG, however I really don't like how it only has two seats, otherwise that would be my choice. [URL="http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/"]Ford Escape[/URL] caught my eye as well. Looks roomy in the trunk, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice for a SUV. I really don't know much about cars, so it would be great if someone could find one that looks good, feels good, and performs good for my price range.
are you looking to buy a new car? because with that budget just about any used it open to you and quite a few new cars are as well. Are you looking for a passenger vehicle? a storage vehicle? what are you going to be using for mainly? if it is a daily driver, go for the MPG and look of the CR-Z if you like it. Also, do you prefer SUV's or Cars?
Skoda Yeti, it's a moving house. Or just get a Citroen DS3 if you're boring and poor.

You should get a nissan 300z, they are a good car for aRouND town driving but can still be fun on the track :smug:
Hell man for 25k you could get a nice used bmw or merc hell even a audi.
If I was gonna get some normal car and had a quite high budget I think I'd go for a merc. I just like them very much that's all
2012 Genesis 2.0T 6 Speed RWD Starts at $22,250 My friend recently got one. It is awesome! Great reliable Korean car too. [IMG]http://www.autospectator.com/cars/files/images/2012-Hyundai-Genesis-Coupe-006.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Ldesu;32510005]If I was gonna get some normal car and had a quite high budget I think I'd go for a merc. I just like them very much that's all[/QUOTE] It would be BMW for me. I don't like Mercs that much, they seem waaay to overpriced for what you get.
If you're willing to go about $5k over budget, you can find some Lotus Elises on ebay for 25-30k.
[QUOTE=gonedead0;32511595]It would be BMW for me. I don't like Mercs that much, they seem waaay to overpriced for what you get.[/QUOTE] I would get some exclusive older one. Not a newer merc
Assuming he wants a normal answer and not bullshit I'll try. He all ready mentioned he doesn't want a two seater so here's my shot Car: new Chevy Cruze for mpg and it's a sedan and you could afford it. SUV: Jeep Commander or Grand Cherokee 2006 and up. Pretty nice and you could have fun off road if you're into that If you want something sporty or fast, I'm real partial to old muscle cars. You could get almost any muscle you want for around $10-15 and with that extra money you have could go towards all the gas you'll use :v: and possible repairs but if you're all ready spending that much on one, it'll be in good condition so that shouldn't be an issue. I'd recommend the new Dodge Challenger but you could barely afford the V6 model and a V6 in a Challenger is just wrong. I'm thinking of cars that aren't so boring and commonplace so maybe my ideas won't be so enticing.
You could get the V6 camaro or mustang or charger or challenger.

A used Saleen S281, the aforementioned Lotus, a Corvette, or my personal favorite, a Trans Am.
get a lotus carlton bro also dont get a v6 challenger that thing is a fucking demon spawn of ass
If your going to get a challenger you have to get the v8, IMO it goes with any american muscle car.

Spend the extra 5 grand and get this. [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BEAUTIFUL-RARE-UNIQUE-ASTON-DB7-5SPD-JAMES-BOND-CAR-NEW-KID-FORCES-SALE-/270821734609?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3f0e3bb8d1"]This[/URL]
DB7 is one of the prettiest astons ever made
Want cheap, attractive, reliable classic? Datsun 240 Z / 280 Z You can get a really good one for six grand.

Get a BMW / Mercedes. Cheaper than you think. My friend got a brand new BMW for the price of a Prius. Also, Don't get a Prius. If you get a car that's used, even just slightly, you can get a really good deal.
I'm going to go ahead and say it. The Hyundai Elantra since it gets good mpg and has about the same interior room as a Maxima. If you want something Sportier, and don't mind it being used, try a 2008 Acura TL. You can get one for around 17-20k and they have plenty of power. Plus it's pretty prestigious looking.
Get a mobile black person.. you ride of their backs, and their affordable.. just feed them carrots and they are good to go. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism." - Dav0r))[/highlight]
Wonderbra post. I wanna be like you when I miracle-grow up.
