OMG like dude.... I am lost for words to describe how low my opinion of those two manufacturers is. (wait up) hmm, I thought of some, but I'm reluctant to post them for quality control reasons. Is there no other option?? none?

get a toyota

Yeah... you can get a Toyota or Honda new for 14K I think. Im pretty sure I looked at some Camrys in that range.

If you want an Accord, I can give you one for 2K. Its not new or anything tho lol ;)

well i wound up with a 2k5 hyundai sonata, it had the trunk room i needed and also i spend at least 3 hours a day driving so comfort was a major issue.
i must have test drove 10 brands of car in the past 72 hours, and for the money, 10yr/100k mi warantee i did it. i put 50 miles on it and it really feels solid, its not like the old hyundais with mitsubishi parts, this drives pretty darn well and quick for a 4 cyl.
remember i have had 8 cyl cars for 15 years all full size and was spoiled by the power.

cool M8, I must admit, I've never seen a warranty quite that extensive. They must be very confident in their product to even offer it. Happy motoring. :D

You'll love the sonata.. I recommended it to a friend over a used benz "mystery mobile" and he hasn't regretted it.

2300 miles so far and so far 99% satisfied.
the 1% is i wish the stereo was better.

I'm actually pondering this sonata sale they have going on too. For me it all comes down to what insurance is going to cost me. I'm still high risk, and it seems I keep chasing the discount age. I figure by the time I'm 45 I might drop in risk lol!
Or whenever I get married... although the discount in insurance will be nullified by any number of other things :0

well mine was 19,700 minus 2500.00 in instant rebates for the basic bare-balls version.
there are alot of options that are standard, i put down 3000 cash and got a 84 month payoff for like 270/mo with the GAP insurance. if you dont know about GAP i can explain later:)
hey, come to the LAN party and you can test drive mine :)

Nothing a little turbo kit can't fix ;)
Too bad it might kill your warranty LOL :D
