Let me preface this whole thing by telling you that it seems rather silly to buy a car new for your first. But, whatever...
The new Corolla is very nice. :/guysullavin wrote:there is no *** way i'm getting near a yaris or a corolla
You can probably wait for the upcoming version of the Fiesta that'll be very similar worldwide.guysullavin wrote:as for ford.... no...
I would really look into buying a used car. You'll probably find ones that are more fun to drive, and *gasp* you might be force to work on it yourself! It's great fun to mess around with a car without having to worry about warranties or those pesky safety features in new cars.
Also, if Top Gear has influenced you to lean toward a Lancer, then lol.
The base Lancer is a regular economy car, exactly like the Corolla, Yaris, Civic, etc.

Alright then.xbox wrote:What nonsense is that?
I am speaking from what I have seen of my Mustang.
Rare for me to see someone with a large-engined car get any decent mileage, since they feel the need to stomp on the gas all the time. Hats off, good sir!
My other points still stand.

HAMANN modified BMW M3 Coupe e92, touching 198mph
Here and here
Now think about how many spoiled high school kids drive around in their V6 models not knowing better.
I'm going to assume you're joking considering damn near the entirety of every automobile enthusiast community and TV program would disagree.
American made automobiles have absolutely horrid interiors.
An Audi that would typically go for ~$45,000 less than an American car superior would still have a far, far better interior. Hands down.
They couldn't even manage a proper interior on the mythical Ford GT.

AhahahaThe 2010 GT is pretty much a luxury car with the body of a muscle car.

I'm not talking about the standard interior, I mean the interior upgrade package with leather seats, MyColor dashboard, In-Built GPS with a 10" screen that also has bluetooth and music capabilities, bucket seats, and soft touch plastic paint.
And by GT I mean the Mustang GT, the Ford GT stopped production in '06, I believe.
But I'm probably in the small percentage of people that still prefer an American muscle car over a tuner car (I include BMWs under tuners/ricers.) or a ricer.

I love aftermarket modified German cars. The Brabus Bullit in flat black looks fantastic.Veegie wrote:HAMANN modified BMW M3 Coupe e92, touching 198mph
This is also true. One kid at my school was talking about his "sweet superfast Mustang" and getting 30+ MPG, but it was the four cylinder Fox body.Veegie wrote:Now think about how many spoiled high school kids drive around in their V6 models not knowing better.
The ZR1 looks boring on the inside, as well...my friend's Cobalt has the same steering wheel, but with a Chevy badge instead. Yippee.Veegie wrote:They couldn't even manage a proper interior on the mythical Ford GT.

Fiat getting 35% of Chrysler, Y/N?
Also, Taurus: http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/2010fordtauruspress/
I like it, along with the new Fusion. It looks like it took some influences from the Mondeo and Euro Fords in general. A big step up.
