I am wondering if you were in the market to buy a new/used car what would you want to purchase and why? Or do you love the vehicle you currently drive? Why?

    If money were no object...a brand new BMW 750LI

    but money is an object so I'd instead be looking at a year or two old BMW 3 series.

    ;-)

    For now, though, Im totally 100% happy with my '05 BMW 330xi, black with black interior, silver inside trim and 6 speed manual transmission.

    I love my Kia Sorento.......It is a SUV but a smaller one. I love that it is like a car but also has 4wd. Seats fold down if I need to haul something. And good gas mileage also.

    Honda Accord. Relatively inexpensive, great gas mileage, good resell value, and very comfortable.

    however, I have been eyeing a dodge Challenger.

    I would get another Kia. I love the Rio I have now and the dealership that I work with. I would probably get a Sedona or some variation of an van or SUV from them as my 14yo son is now 6ft tall and is having issues fitting in my subcompact. My mother has a Sedona and I love the way it handles (I driven it often) and my brother the Soul. They love theirs too.

    It depends on what you need a vehicle for. Do you have kids? Pets? A trailer/bike rack, kayaks? Do you have a long commute to work, or is it through town?

    I need more details before I can give you a suggestion :)

    I really like the looks of the Honda CR-Vs. However, my budget is a little tight so would probably look to a Honda Civic. I also like the looks of the new Ford Focus Hatchbacks.

    I will always drive a Honda.

    Great on gas, not too expensive and can get all the bells and whistles, and they hold their value well.

    Well my old car was a honda accord and i liked it fine till that lady ran the red light and crashed into me and wrote it off. I was not even thinking new car. So I went to look the other day and realized I have no idea about cars. The dealer would say let me show you a toyota matrix and I was like a what now?

    I use my car to get back and forth to work, groceries, take my dogs hiking in the bush, occasional out of town travel for work. I am also in the process of adoption so now I have to consider how a child will influence my choice of car too. Oh, but no mini-vans.

    I leased a 2012 Hyundai Elantra last year - traded in a Jeep Compass. I get new cars every 2.5-3 yrs. I love my car - the gas milage is great, it rides well, it fits 5 people comfortably and I have all the options that cost thousands more in other cars. With the prices on used cars right now being so high, I wouldn't even consider getting anything but new. I've had my car 14 months, have almost 11,000 miles on it and I've seen ones a year older than mine selling for more than what I paid originally - the same car with the same options but higher milage. It's crazy! But have fun car-shopping - do lots of research first. It's one of my favorite things to do! (an expensive bad habit - lol). Did I mention we love my car so much we will probably do the lease buy-out next year & get rid of hubby's car? NOTE: The car is awesome for safety, too. I actually leased a 2011 same car - but totalled it by someone in a Land Rover. The car was a mess - the only thing that happened to me was when my side of the car bounced against hers, my glasses got smashed off and twisted from the air bag. I didn't have a scratch on me, I was just sore.

    I have the Ford Fusion which I love. My boyfriend has a Scion which is very roomy and unique. I also really like the Nissan Juke. Its a quirky car.

    I have a 2004 Acura TSX with almost 140K on it and I love it! If I were to buy a new car tomorrow, it would be another TSX. The new body style came out in 2009 so I'd get a used new body style. Acura also has a new entry level car, an ILX and it starts at $26K brand new. It's super cute!!

    i have a 2000 honda accord and i'm looking to buy a new/used car SOON (hopefully before winter gets too bad). my honda is okay, but it's old and is starting to have lots of problems. it does have ~180,000 miles on it, so they do last and it rides great.

    i have always wanted an audi (a4's are nice) but i'm looking at a mazda3 for now. we'll see!
