It’s like a parallel world was opened, and suddenly Viper owners are nice. And 1.8T’s aren’t all that. What the hell?

I thought that was funny you wanted good milage but you also want a v6 or better, hehehe…

good luck finding your first car  
mine was a 89 silverado that cost 500 bucks with a 350 that got about 18mpg on the highway, thankfully gas was only $1.00 a gallon then :tup:

Just remember… there is no such thing as a sub $4k - $5k reliable car.

You buy cheaper and you will most likely end up putting more into it in maintenance.

Of course, there will always be anomalies… but it’s a good general rule of thumb.

What makes a car unreliable though? IMO if you have no major engine or transmission failure, a car is reliable. Replacing Tires, Brakes, Suspension compents etc, are all wear items, just because a car needs a ball joint at 100K miles doesn’t mean a car is unreliable.

There are lots of cars I would purchase for sub 5K dollars and drive to Cali and back tomorrow, without worry. I would say that is reliable.

On the other hand I would not get in a 1995 F355 I paid 70K for and drive cross country. How much one spends on a car means nothing on reliablility, how much one has spent on a car before one purchases said car (maint records, etc.) is a better indicator to most.
