Well my sister needs a daily driver and I am not sure what to have her buy.
Car is just a commuter for her to go to and from work about a 40min drive. She is a Scientist and has little to no interest in cars just wants it to be reliable and good on gas. She lives near Seattle as well and it snows some not much. Im thinking maybe Impreza, Legacy, Civic, Corolla.
Here are the details:
2004 or newer
under 40kish miles
15k to spend
AUTO
Good on gas
Let me know of any suggestions.
Thanks,
Andrew

corolla.
Get one a couple years old.
You won’t have to do anything to it besides general maintenance.

2004 or newer TDI will put you right around $15k at least. Look at the Jettas, timing belt maintenance and oil intervals are the keys with those cars, i am sure she would enjoy it too even though she “doesnt care”

Sam already bought her a car and now they need a second one for Dan or he will take hers.

No she does not need a lot of room at all. She really just wants something that will be good on gas and be reliable. We are going to look at a corolla and a civic today I think.

i had an 06 non turbo legacy. that thing got about 21mpg and had absolutely no passing power. I can’t say i recommend one of those.
