What is the best car out of these 4 and why?

Question

I'm 18 and finally getting my first car. I've always been obsessed with a civic but it might be too expensive. We have 12000$ plus my uncle might chip in sooo...

Honda civic

scion tC

VW jetta

hyundai elantra.

I'm thinking of 2006-2008 models lol any information is helpful. 10 points best answer!!!

Answer 1

Well, the Elantra is tied with the Civic for best small sedan by Consumer Reports, so those are the 2 I'd look the closest at and they both have great gas mileage, low depreciation and extremely reliable.  Scion is good too if you want a coupe.  I think the Hyundai is the best since it has the most features for the money and the best warranty.  While VW's tend to hold their value and be popular, they are well known to have electrical and other mechanic problems, only worth leasing.  You can't go wrong with a Civic, though you'll blend right into the crowd.

Answer 2

scion Tc, Great price, milage, and elbow room!

Answer 3

The scion tc is probably the better pick out of those four, unless you are going to get the civic hybrid.  The reason i would choose this car is because its a great looking car and it is very very reliable.  It also has better horsepower and from what i'm told, its cheaper insurance and maintenance than civic.  Additionally, the resale is higher than the others.  Whatever you do, stay away from the VW jetta, i know a lot of people with problems with them.

Answer 5

Honda Civic definitely. It is the most reliable, service is cheap, spacious, and good-looking.  Plus, it is pretty fast.

Answer 6

Of the ones listed Honda Civic is the best, great quality, solid resale value.

Answer 7

Honda civic all the way,, eveen if you have to buy an older one it is the best choice. GREAT gas and very reliable. scion sucks, vws are ok, and stay away from hyundais

Answer 8

If your buying a used car, go with the civic or the tC.

If your looking for a car your going to use for a long time, go for the civic. Its reliable, good on gas, stylish, keeps its value, and is decently cheap to insure.

If you want more of a car that you can customize as you go, get the scion tC. It's a scion so parts are easy to find, and its a part of toyota, so it's reliable.

If you want a car with a bit of luxury in it, and great safety features, the Jetta is the way to go. I've never had a problem with mine, but i definately don't recommend buying a used one. Jettas are german cars, meaning they need maintainence done ALL the time, unlike toyotas where you can skip one everyone once in a while.

and as for the hyndai, you've waited this long to get a car! don't settle for the hyundai!
