Would think long and hard about some of those new VW's. I've read two articles now that say they really chew the oil big time and can seize up quite young.
Stay with Aus or Jap cars, otherwise some other ones aren't bad like the new Kia's and the Skoda's. I personally avoid Euro cars just for repair costs.
Hi, I was wondering what car I could get with my tight budget. My budget is ranged from $20,000 to $30,000. I am having trouble picking out a good car for myself and family. What do you guys suggest?
I need one before this coming christmas as I would like to go on a holiday with my friends and family. Help is much appreciated!
Op seeing as your post says the word "Family" thats probably the most important thing i value enough to make the decision as appose to getting a car to go quicker.
The keywords thou is "FAMILY" "TIGHT BUDGET"
I would definitely recommend the Accord Euro .
Get an Automatic CL9 or even the CU2 (the new version)
Why automatic cause it will still be easier for your wife/girlfriend to drive.
With a nice budget like that you can option up with leather heated seats, automatic window wipers, all electrics. Safety with so many airbags to protect better for the ones u love.
The extra money you then save goes into the on road costs like REGO and Insurace.
The parts and maintenance , insurance wont cost the earth like a EURO (BMW, MERC, VW, AUDI etc)
I think "Same thing, different clothes" would be more accurate - same platform, different panels and trim levels...
To the OP, you really need to get out and inspect and drive a few different cars, take the family and get them all loaded up and see if it works for you. What some people love and recommend you might hate - whether its the way it drives or the seating position or just the way the indicators sound - you won't know until you drive or at least sit in!
