Zapanater Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wagons.... Dodge Magnum! It might be a bit over your price range but I don't think there's a cooler lookin wagon on the planet. Plus Chrysler makes bulletproof motors. Quote 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I like my Volvo S70, has 212k, and still drives good, and very reliable. Though I do sometimes wish I had the V70, but with 1st cars, you don't really get much of a choice. Good luck on finding a good one.

Keith77 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hey guys, I'm in the market for my first car and need some suggestions. Budget is ~5k, can go a bit over if needed. I am looking for a medium-large car - I don't care if it's a sedan or coupe. I am open to hatchbacks too. Needs to seat 4, and I don't care if it's manual or automatic. Priorities (in order) Safety - airbags, ABS, crash test ratings, etc Reliability Fuel economy / cheap to maintain Insurance cost RWD/AWD (I can't stand FWD) I do all my own work - so something semi-easy to maintain What I have been considering: Volvo V70 w/ turbo - Would like input specifically for this since this is at the 'top of the list' right now Subaru outback Mercedes e320 VW Jetta I am open to feedback on my current list/additions to it. Thanks! Well off of your options that you gave I would go with the Subaru.. The other cars are expensive to maintain and repair. Not only that a pain in the ass to work on. My personal preference would be a Honda or Toyota. Both are reliable and low cost on maintenance. Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundown-e21 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I say volvo wagon, but the v70 is front wheel drive so you would have to find an awd version. Although, fwd chassis are much harder to maintain for suspension, and steering components. Really, a wagon of some kind would be the best. Way easier to get louder, better visibility, stronger frame, better looking, and more social than sedans or coupes.

AgentTyler Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 What I personally want is a Kia Optima SX. I think it's a good car and really haven't seen any bad reviews on it. Plus it has a very good safety rating.
