Poll: Looking for a car, need opinions

[mrfreyguy]

Out of that selection the Audi will be the lady killer in that bunch for your age. Though worry about the mileage versus that turbo-ed engine. My only concern would be the insurance rate.

I go to the "rougher" high school of the 2 in my city and any lady appreciates just about any kid that has a car/truck lol. I was looking at the older Toyota MR5 (3.0 liter V6) pickups and they seem to get great gas milage out of a truck their size. and their about $1000-1500 cheaper that the audi. The more I think about it, I should probably get a truck instead of a Audi, or something of that sort. Basicly its the "best of both worlds". It gets 20 mpg lifted with some minor upgrades, and from what Ive heard there very fun to drive, annnnnndddd I would be able to haul all my crap around. Im also pretty sure insurance would also be pretty cheap. What do you guys think about this idea?

By the way you all have made many very good points to someone my age whos looking for a car, Thanks!

Lifting it in the city? That seems like a waste of cash IMO. A good suspension lift is $700-1000.

Ford. I accidentally voted Toyota. Oops.

Ford is your best option out if that list though.
Those years were tough as ****. An I'd recommend finding a 300 straight 6 instead of the v8 if you want good economy. The straight 6 us bulletproof and great torque.

If that Yota is 4wD you can beat it to hell and it'll still run.

it may not be the biggest or the fastest but after uv wasted loads keeping the others going and finally given up the toyota will casually drive past and ull go "bugger"

And i'll bet that the transfer case will go first.

Well it turns out Ill actually be buying, and driving my grandma's 2002 Honda Accord EX. It has the 4 cyl 5 speed manual so Ill be pushing 30mpg highway. I get the family discount on the car so it will cost me next to nothing. On the side, I will be saving up and buying either a 1995> F-150 (regular cab, short box), or a 2000>Ranger(Extended cab, Shortbox) as my winter, mudding, and cabin driver.

For your first vehicle, I dont recommend a truck with a v8. Especially if you dont have a job to pay for the gas. I have a 2008 Dodge Dakota with v8. I get horrible gas mileage, but since I work until 11pm mon-fri, I need it to get home in the winters.
