[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not VW.  Everyone I know with one in has hated it.

I'd do Acura/Subaru/Honda, but that's because I've had great experiences.  I just said goodbye to my little Civic that lasted me 20 years.  For a family, I'd do an Accord.

I'd revise this to include Mazda/Subaru/Honda/Toyota.  Acura's reliability is an issue (for that matter, so are some Hondas).  Toyota and Subaru are pretty bullet-proof.  Mazda is underrated, but reliable.[/quote]

This poster has it right. Acura/Honda's reability seem to went down recent years. I'd suggest a RAV4 or a small Subaru. [/quote]
Thanks, but no Mazda. My parents had one in the 90s and it felt AWFUL to drive. Sadly, we can't test drive anything which is why I'm limiting it. I don't want to buy a car and have it feel cheap and perform poorly. Thanks for the input on Acura. Drove an 8-year-old one in HS and it was wonderful. [/quote]

What an absolute idiotic way of thinking about cars. Do you evaluate potential friends based on what they were like when they were in the 90s or in high school? If not, why are you judging cars based on these outdated impressions? I had a Mazda3 and it remains one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever owned - I am a car nut and my current car is over $100k. I strongly recommend that you give Mazda another look.

Also I was going to recommend one of the new Mini SE electric cars. The thing is small but can hold your family just fine. It offers a 130 mile driving range and fits great in your budget. I test drove one and really enjoyed it. It would be the *PERFECT* city car and one that will fit in your tiny garage. [/quote]
