I’ve offered to teach her standard but she doesn’t want to learn :shrug: My dad could probably get a good discount at Northtown from points saved up on servicing his Solara there. But right now I think the Passat is sittin in 3rd behind the other two. ---

Mazda 3/6’s are nice but you cant really go wrong with a camry, accord or civic. ---

You’re trading reliability for luxury to get a Passat at the same price range as the others. Have her drive both the Accord and the Camry and get whichever she likes better and can get a better deal on. Both are a pretty safe bet. If you’ve already got a history at a Toyota dealer then that could be handy should you ever need warranty work done. ---

Alright, I know it’s a month later now and it’s down to the Camry or the Accord. My parents have been busy with a couple of house projects, so they haven’t had much time to do some price searching. Is there anyone on here that works for a Toyota or Honda dealership?? I’m just tryin to help my parents out with their pricing options (and maybe get a hookup :tup:). Thanks!! ---

So you’re down to two vehicles with excellent reliability records rated highly in their class. Drive both, price both, pick the one she likes best. They are direct competitors so I doubt the price will be much different if both are similarly equipped. The two definitely have a different flavor and one should appeal to her more than the other once she drives them. I’d probably like the Accord more while my wife would probably prefer the Camry. I’d say the Accord felt more sporty, while she’d say the Camry rode smoother. We’re both saying the same thing but expressing it differently because of driving styles and preferences. ---

Very well put, and I think she’s still leaning toward the Accord. I didn’t know though if we had any Honda/Toyota sales reps here that could get them a deal. ---
