Replying to: farmingrocks (May 14, 2007 12:59 pm) Car guys like everything Manual. I am just glad that I was able to get a Manually shifter CR-V before Honda decided not sell them in the US. I wish they also offered manual crank windows. Car guys know that less stuff you have, less stuf you have to fix... |

This car was my once in a lifetime get everything I want car so I went for it...lol...hence the satellite and the nav (whichis almost a necessity because I get lost finding my own bathroom...  ). I also agree with whomever said you can't see the outside color of your car when you drive it. But I think it does provide a nice accessory to show me off

I'm new to this forum & want your opinions. We're looking in Raleigh, NC area for a used car for our teenage daughter. The usual criteria: safety, handling, fuel economy, reliability. I can find things to like about the CR-V, Forester, & RAV4. To keep purchase price low, we probably need to look at '03 or older. Which one would you pick? Why? How old can we go and still find the desired safety features? How many miles is too many? (Recently had to rebuild tranny on the Mom-mobile--'02 MPV w/100K--not happy.) Or would you go the sedan route--Civic, Corolla, Camry, etc.--although teenagers may find them uncool? Must be automatic & 4-door. AWD or 4WD is a plus. Most driving will be rural/suburbs, w/some interstate. This mom needs advice.

Replying to: ajstewart (May 15, 2007 7:49 am) Consider potential fuel and insurance costs. A civic may return higher mileage but can be more to insure. A used Corolla may be a decent car to consider. along with the Camcord. Domestic sedans are usually cheaper than the equivalent year Japanese sedans. If its a temporary car, reliability issues that domestics may have should be minimal. If you're looking long term, newer may be better as well as Japanese. Price budget can also play a large factor.Its a lot to take in so take a deep breath and peruse these boards, they hold a mountain of information. Kyle
