I just have a few questions regarding new car purchases and figured this would be a great place to look.
I have only ever had one car, and am looking for a new one.
When it comes to cars i know about the looks and style of cars but know nothing of the engines or anything mechanical with cars.

I'm looking for a car that would be about 8000 or less and be a good daily driver, including in the winter.
Something relatively speedy and stylish but not too old.
What would you guys suggest.

There is a nice silver jetta on here for around your price range. nice interiors, 1.8T engines are awesome.

So you want to get a new car for $8000 or less? Not sure if there are even Hyundai's that cheap. Possibly a Lada? Not sure if they'll meet your other requirements though.

What color do you want?

Well not like brand brand new, like used.
But not something that is gonna be pushing 180,00 km's
I want something that will last me a few years until i am at least done with school

if you had a slightly higher range you might be able to get a pretty nice car, but it would be older.

Your requirements are way too broad, can you narrow it down for us, any particular manufacturers you prefer? coupe/sedan? AWD/FWD/RWD? Style, performance, reliability, what are at the top of your priority list?

If you actually want some serious answers, do some research first and come up with some candidates, you'll probably get more useful info from here then.

Celica Alltrac Turbo :)

ST185s should be about that price, and are quite stylish despite being like 17 years old.

You have 200hp, and full-time AWD. Fun in the summer, and in the winter.
