A car we agree on?

Question

My mom and I are looking for a new car, either new or used with under 45,000 miles. We're willing to pay up to 16K as well.

My mom wants something that has 4 to 5 seats and good capacity.

However, I am nervous driving larger cars, and I want something with style and sporty handling, that isn't too large for my small 5 foot self to handle, and can navigate rather easily.

Is there a car out there that can satisfy both our needs?

Thanks ;D

Answer 1

what about something like the Honda Rav4 or Kia Sportage, Jeep Liberty, etc.  Small 4 cylinder SUV-type vehicles.  They are great on gas, seat 4-5, and because they sit higher up, it would help you (being short- statured) to see around you much easier than a lower-slung car.

Answer 2

ford escort or focus

honda civic

vw golf or polo

i can get 5 people in my 3 series bmw (3 of them are kids...)

Answer 3

There are not many cars out there that won't seat 4, even 2 door autos usually seat 4 people.

And a 2 seater is so impractical.

Who is paying for the car? You or your Mom? Thats what will determine whats more important.

Cost is the determining factor in many major purchases these days.
