Then go with the TL. It's great looking, its features work very well (though some features, like auto-start and automatic headlights, are missing) and it accellerates well-enough for most. If you're not wowed by the interior, go with the Subaru GT - it's lower end torque means its faster during everyday maneuvers, and unless you're going for a TL-S, the handling might be even. |

I have narrowed the field of 4 cars to these two for my new car. I have a 2006 Ford Fusion and can't stand to drive the car. The M3 is a 2007 on the dealers lot with 100 miles on it, the Civic is an 2008. I drive 20000 miles a year and can't decide which car would be the best. Any Pro/Cons as far as maintenance, or materials in the cars?

I like the Altima but would really like a car with traction control....I also seem to see an Altima every time I turn my head on the road. The Aura has traction control and is cheaper but their quality concerns me along with the gas mileage with the V6. Thoughts?

Replying to: hackd (Feb 18, 2008 11:26 am) The Aura is a pretty heavy car with the 3.5L (over 3500lbs), so I understand your economy concerns. I don't have first-hand experience with the car, so i can't help you otherwise. |

Replying to: hackd (Feb 18, 2008 11:26 am) Honestly, while traction control is nice, it's hardly a requirement. I've been driving a maxima through 5 Michigan winters with the 17" low profile tires, and it's been fine. The ABS is a much more useful feature for winter driving, IMO.

The subject line says it all. My folks are looking for a new highway/travel car. They have a 2007 Civic for running around and getting good in-town mileage, but they need a new car for traveling. They've looked at the Hyundai VeraCruz, and plan to look at the Taurus Sedan this weekend. Here are the important issues: Front Seat Room and Comfort Ride Quality over Sportiness (the Civic has the Sporty Part down pat  ) Good highway power Under $30k, preferably lower Avoiding the Accord/Camry V6 models Decent (25+) hwy mileage a plus, but not a hard-line number I've suggested they look at the Taurus, Azera, Edge. I got quotes on the new Malibu LTZ and they were ridiculous (over $28k) in this area. The one quote I got on a Lucerne CX was over $25k; much too high for that vehicle with such a behind-the-times powertrain. Any other suggestions? Thanks, and I"m looking for all input! Remember; ride-comfort and seat comfort, along with highway power are the big issues here! TheGraduate
