I have a bit of trouble making up the mind. 2001 Lexus LS430 with 78K miles for 15500 or a brand new 2009 Subaru Impreza sports Wagon for 19500? Which is a better good for price? Lexus is luxury but 2001 model Subaru is standard shift but brandnew. I drive up to 10000 miles a year only. What do you think depending on your experience? I will be using the car only for city driving. |

Replying to: kocho (Sep 11, 2009 9:20 pm) In any event, even though it's a Lexus, it's a rather old used one. That being the case, I'd have a mechanic check it over, as you don't know how well the car was maintained. I'd also get a CarFax on it to see if it's been in an accident. Obviously the Lexus won't get the gas mileage of the Impreza, and it requires premium gas. The Impreza will be much better in foul weather and bad roads (rain, snow, gravel, potholes, etc.), thanks to the AWD. Lastly, the Impreza will be more fun to drive (although a stick-shift could be a hassle in town), and is far more practical and flexible in terms of hauling stuff thanks to the 5-door configuration.

Replying to: kocho (Sep 11, 2009 9:20 pm) If you live where snow and ice are found, the Impreza offers a huge advantage over the RWD Lexus. Also it has the convenience of a hatchback, which I find comes in very handy. Also easier to park, in all your city driving. (I find some garage spaces are tight even for a compact these days.) |
