I hez new car

I want a new car but I'm up in the air on what I should get. Originally I was looking at going back to VW and getting a Rabbit but then I started contemplating getting a Mutag. I also thought about an SUV of some sort because I bet I could get a really good deal on one right now. I'm open for suggestions....I just plan on doing my research this time because I've never really made good decisions in the past with car deals.

Restrictions: Under 20K and the newer the better (I've had bad expierences with used cars). Pictures are helpful so post them if you want.


And for all that don't know, I'm currently driving a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ edition.

And go!!!

dond you have been wanting a mutag for the longest.. I say don't do it. Punish yourself further and what is wrong with your current car? Aren't you switching jobs/quitting soon

reasons?

Its an SUV, its 22k MSRP, it has a 10 year 100k mile warranty. Who cares if its a Kia.

Hell, if it makes you feel better, buy the Hyundai version instead. They're just as good.

If my criteria met yours, and knowing from personal family experience with the Hyuandai, not to mention a 10 year 100k mile warranty if anything fucked up, hell yes I would.

My uncles company uses Hyundai SUVs as work vehicles, he says in 80k miles the only thing he's had to do is alignments.

not sure how my criteria led to a kia my criteria was pretty open and for under 20k, i can get a lot better of a car i think. thanks for the suggestion though.

If you want to buy a Mustang or any other American car/truck/SUV now is the time. There are some killer deals out there. Japanese and Euro cars are still normal priced.
