Celica Forums General Discussion General new car?

my girl owns a piece of shit saturn, and she needs a new car and looking for something reliable. she wants to spend about 17,000 on a new car any ideas?

well there is the scon tc which starts at 16
mazda 3 4 door starts at 14
chevy is getting ready to release the cobalt which also starts at 14

just a few suggestions of what cars i would look at for 17 or less

Cobalt is the same car as a Saturn Ion. I don't think they want a repeat.

I'd get the scion tC for sure! Hell toyota makes it

scion tc

or corolla. the xrs starts at 17,455

don't forget you gotta take taxes and all that crap into play here.

dont get a chevy. thats the worst thing you could do. stupid americans dont know how to make cars. Ne way i'd say go with the tc or the corrolla.

she could always get like an 03 Celica. Brand new i would either go with scion TC or the Mazda 6.

well what is she going to use it for??

if she needs a comfortable daily driver that seats 4 get the corrolla or the scion tC. nice two seater will be a 7th gen or 6th gen celica ST or GT. roomy in the back for average sized people and they run for ever... even when you beat them to the ground with constant redlineing and abuse itll still run like new.

if she likes to run or drive the car hard best bang for the buck car is a used SRT-4 , cobalts are going to be cheap and will rape most cars on the road. 95-02 civics.

but it depends on what shell use the car for..

the cobalts do look nice. and the SS model is even nicer.

The Mazda 3 is a nice car.

yeah i seen the commercial for the new cobalts. They look very nice, especially the red ones. But the thought of a Domestic with a look of an import is just not right.

Let not forget tC's ugly sisters xA and xB!!!! They are even more affordable$$$$$!!!!!

do the right thing buddy and get a celica...

actually, American made cars are making a (slow) comeback in the realm of quality. i could see what you said being true 10 or even 5 years ago, but now domestic sport compacts are much more reliable than before.

not really, if you haggle for the price you can get it to fit right around 17Gs.

I'd go with reliability: Toyota Corolla, Toyota tC, Honda Civic, hell a used Celica.

TC or rolla Xrs

thanks guys ill let her know what you said.
