Which is a better vehicle?
OK so this is really embarrassing but I'm 24yr old female first time driver I have a learning disability and tried to get my license but had a very hard time but I finally got it! When I save up enough money to get my first car, I have been looking and I like so far the 2011-2012 Volkswagen jetta, and the 2010-2012 ford escape, which is a better vehicle also is there are better compact sedans and compact suvs that you can think of that are better choices, please let me know thanks for the answers in advance. Also if thats to much of a new car for a first time driver which is a better yr. And how many miles should the car have on it does it matter I won't be getting the car until next yr but still right now i'm just looking to get some ideas.
Congrats on your license. The key to whether car a or car b would work best would be to test drive some. Make sure you can see well and it is comfortable to handle.
as for miles and price, going to KBB.com - Kelley Blue Book - will let you put the age, mileage and get an estimate so you do not get taken going to the car dealers.
I would recommend when you go buy, drive a couple that week and compare cars.
If you go compact cars the ford fusion would be one to drive. I would recommend something less than 50,000 miles so you start with something that does not need immediate mechanic work. Good luck
one addition- my group would recommend staying away from the chevy cars and suvs. This I would call the most important tip… Why? Look at the last 30 years of chevy small cars problems and empty promises and see a very questionable story
I like both the Jetta and the Escape. I think they would be good vehicles for you. You should also consider the Mazda3, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, and the new Chevy Cruze as alternative sedans.
On the SUV market there are so many to choose from. The Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav4 are both very nice. So is the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Hyundai Santa Fe and the Chevy Equinox.
Jetta is more durable. IMO. And a will last longer. Most likely a bit more ricey on repairs but they will be less frequent.
Escape is bigger, burns a bit more gas, but would be better in snow and weather.
- Which vehicle is the better? Volvo wagon Subaru Legacy Outback Chevy G20 van Ford Taurus wagon S10 Blazer Jeep Cherokee Ford Explorer some mini van or other? all for around $2k - $3k on craigslist. Honest opinions/answers note: if other, must be wagon-style, to carry things. But not a truck.
- Which vehicle is cooler for a high-schooler to have? So I know this is kind of a stupid question, but which would be cooler for me to get (or just the better option), a 99 Ford ranger xlt extended cab 4wd (red) or an 02 Mazda protégé lx (black)? It's my first real car that I'm paying for, I had a 97 vw cabrio convertible that I got from my brother and crashed… Also, which one would be more fun to drive? They are both manuals (automatics are boring…)
- Which is better? 1995 ford ranger which is stick or a 2004 Ford Escape? I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm lucky enough to have those two cars to choose from. Both have high mileage, like 350k on the ranger and 250k for the escape. Both have been serviced to a T. I really don't know which car would be best in the Long run. Meaning I don't know which one is most reliable and which one would be best for me and my use of maybe hauling my friends around. So which one do you think is the best choice?
- Off the line which vehicle is faster? A 2013 Honda CR-V or a 2007 ford ranger 4.0 v6 manual. Which vehicle is better looking In Your opinion?
