What he said and if Mazda is a consideration and she's willing to get into a small SUV, I'd say the CX-5 is worth looking at. My coworker has one and very satisfied with it. I have to admit, for the money it's nice looking, has quality interior materials and should be reliable. Even with the smaller engine it's a bit sporty.

Oh no dear, not lost at all. Now had you said a fire truck or an ambulance, that would be spot on.

I asked her about this, she doesn't have any real parameters set as of yet. She just mentioned to me yesterday and of course, I got all kinds of excited and started shopping for her. Basically just to show her how far $20k would go. She was thinking she would have to settle for something in the 20 range.

Wife and a friend I rec'd to, loves their loaded Civic turbo EX's. Hell brand new is only $22K loaded. Drives surprisingly nice..she came out of a Avalon and Bimmer. Her year is 0-60 in 6.6...not bad. Well and 40mpg is nice.
Also I'm 6' and friend is 6'3, its fits fine, Any Toyota or Honda, go at least 3 years back, or buy new. Simply not enough savings with warranty etc Last edited by 4Hockey4; 03-03-2021 at 04:47 PM.. |

If she's not an enthusiast, doesn't care about luxury, wants a reliable car and likes hatchbacks.... 2020 Corolla Hatchback. Can probably get a brand new one for your budget depending on trim level.
If given a choice to take any of the 4 vehicles in the house my gf will always take the Corolla. |

Not that it would become a classic, or anything, but have you guys considered a renovation? In other words, a repaint, reupholstery, upgrade of the audio system? This may be a consideration, if she really doesn't see anything she really likes out there.

I pulled up some Mazda 6's and CX-9's last night for her to look at. She seemed interested but not overly excited. Personally I feel like a Mazda, Honda or Toyota is going to be the way to go for her.
On her current vehicle? No. It's a pretty old ford pick up with over 200k on the clock. She simply isn't interested in any of that. She has a project car that hasn't been touched since we started dating 5 years ago. |

You haven't told us nearly enough about her to make an educated decision. What aspects of her hobbies, personality, life translate into a vehicle choice? Example: She commutes 100 miles a day and the inside of her car looks like a rolling dumpster and the outside hasnt been washed in 3 years vs. she likes to hike, camp, fish, and needs to carry a kayak.
