Also, if you know anyone that works as an independent mechanic (meaning not for a dealership) they'll have a valuable opinion on what's a decent car. They'll have a good idea on part failure rates for a lot of cars and their cost of repair.
If I've learned anything from my mechanic friend it's don't ever by a fucking Audi.

that's not really fair
if for example an area has a lot of certain cars, like vermont does with subarus and audis, then of course those are the cars that will come in
audis do have very finnicky electronics and i don't know if i'd own one outside warranty, but if you buy one new or certified pre-owned with a proper warranty, then there's no problem

They have a lot of mechanical issues as well. From what I have heard, from mechanics and a few Audi owners, they are fucking money pits. Warranty or no, if you car is constantly in the shop it isn't worth owning.
Also, a good mechanic can discern volume from poor manufacturing. If he is constantly replacing the same parts for a car at low mileage you know there's an issue.
i don't know about the newer automatics because i don't care, but the one in the 90's legacy was notorious for crapping out at 120k or so
I got an '05 WRX stick - its really fun to drive. I put bigger rims on it, so its got thinner tires. The thing slides all over in the weather, but its fun as hell because you can pull out of a slide so easily with AWD - just accelerate through the turn.
One thing I did not learn until after I started driving this car - never downshift through a turn when the weather is shitty. Once you break traction on ice you're not gonna get it back.
I've got this beat up old Isuzu Rodeo that I've been slowly turning into a decent vehicle. Got to really test out the 4wd in the awesome 6" of snow we got Saturday.
Mother fucker wouldn't let go. I can see it being a real nasty offroader once I'm finished.
assuming they bring it to the US with minimal changes, it will compete with these ugly things:
and it will likely be cheaper
fuck, no contest
Those pictures aren't really fair, The new Accord with the big rims is pretty nice too
It's perfectly fair. The camry has always been ugly. The previous accord was very very decent looking, but the new one is just terrible. I thought "maybe the pictures dont do it justice". But i've seen a bunch in person now. They're a terrible mess.
The styling and proportions work for the Accord Coupe, which looks pretty nice, but on the sedan it's just horrible. Boo, Honda, boo. It's a shame because it's otherwise a great car and the interior is a step up.

don't get me wrong
I fucking love me some subamaru
but damn son if they don't get some of the silliest problems once in a while
nothing crippling, but any time you turn on the defrost? There goes the FM radio
roll down the back passenger window? Sounds like a bass drum inside your head.
Shift into third? Mexican candy shoots violently out of the windshield washer nozzles.
But seriously, a subaru stick is a thing of beauty. Only car I've been in that had the feature, whatever the fuck its called, where if you stop facing up a hill, you hit the break and press in the clutch and the brakes lock in so you can move your foot to the gas without rolling backwards. Greatest fucking feature ever.

Hell yes.
I just got a 2004 WRX Sedan....oh my god, I love my car.
Edit: Shoe, glad you and the lady are alright.
thought we were gonna roll for a minute
I spun my old Jeep on some black ice...scared the hell out of me.
turns out they weren't
but it could have been a hell of a lot worse
Crazy canadians and being too hardy to go plowing the roads....
I agree with this too. I bought a new Impreza a couple years ago and it has been nothing but awesome. Good in the snow, fun to drive, no problemos.

Also, I
they are such great cars
and there is no reason to buy an automatic, manuals are so easy - especially in Subies
seriously, fucking great cars. I had a legacy wagon for years and years before it finally pretty much died on me at 320k miles
seriously there is pretty much nothing better for the money anywhere in the world
it's quick, practical, seats five no problem, looks like a million bucks, decently luxurious
maybe if you are the sort of person who was born with, say, labia
that's a pretty decent car
hey
hey
hey
the 2008 Mazda6 is just amazing

and someone else kept insisting that it's a car for gays or something
man people are dumb
Gonna have to go ahead and agree with this one. My buddy's family has one, it's a beast but damn if it's never really broken
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

The Fit Is Gay
I mean Go. Goddammit.

however i got him looking at used police interceptors
subarus never break down
they only lose features
oh, the antenna broke off?
no it didn't, you simply don't own a subaru with an antenna any more.
Only steers left? You lost the "turns right" feature.
No problems, there's a workaround.

It's terrible that you're joking and at the same time correct
