Hey All,
I need your advice, being the car gurus you are, on what are some good new cars to look into, considering price, incentives, features, reliability, etc?
Now, keep in mind, I’m not looking for a car to soup up as some of you may do, but simply something semi-nice and reliable. I’ve looked at the Corolla, Mazda 3 and 6, Altima, Galant, etc.
I’ve checked on various various prices at carsdirect.com and other sites and see some of the more expensive ones for me (altima, mazda6, gallant, etc) have some rebates which may make the car affordable for me… I’m not sure though.
Preferably, I’d like to spend around 15,000 but even with a Corolla, once I get the features I want, still ends up to be around 17 or 18k, which makes me think maybe it’s better to get a lower class altima, mazda6, gallant, etc. which would be around the same ball park?
What do you all think? I really need some ideas and suggestions as to what is the overall best buy. And oh, PS, reliability is a very important factor to me. I can’t afford to get a new car every few years.
Thanks for the all help!
