Been looking for a 2001+ used car for my wife. Shes intersted in a sporty sedan or some covertible. Well She wanted an Eclipse and well they are crap. Then she wanted the MR2 spyder and it appears that their engines eat oil and freaking suck. Then the Nissan Altima, but they appear to be plagued with engine problems and some electrical stuff too. I looked up the Audi A4 and that seems to be a huge pain too....
I don't get it. Its like buying a new car is a crapshoot these days. I mean my 94 celica has had zero problems and I have 220xxx miles right now. Do automakers really not care to make a decent quality car anymore? she doesn't want a Accord, civic, camry or corolla...so I don't know where to look mazda? Maxima? Volvo? THis is such a headache...

Here is my advice dude, and sorry to say this, but go ask your balls back from your wife. She thinks she knows what she wants, but if she jumps from eclipse to MR2 to A4 it's pretty clear she has no specific utility in mind (meaning she could live with the MR2, easily one of the most impractical cars on the road, or jump at an expensive german sedan). Sounds like she's all over the board, so just get something YOU know is good and make her live with it.

I don't want to have a ****ty rest of my life and force her to get a car she doesn't want.. I got balls, but I'm not an idiot and that would just be a lifelong headave to force someone to get something they don't want. I mean would you want a car you were forced to have? nope you'd whine like all hell too... so how about you go sit in a corner and let the grown ups talk Plus I already tried it with the celica I forced her to get and she doens't like it at all. Yeah, its a headache looking at all these cars... if she was a car person it would be much easier I didn't think of the IS300 or WRX. Thanks Super... |
