My dad just informed me of some bad news.. help me out..

[alxmlr789 10+ year member]

Well, after deciding on what college i want to go to, looks like ill be driving around alot.. So i think my dad wants to sell the durango.. It gets 10 in the city and 14 on the highway(5.9L).. and to and fro west palm to orlando is not a short trip it will be 100 bucks everytime i go back and forth, Im pretty upset, i love this truck. so i need some advice on a decent 6cylinder car~sedan or a coupe~

I really like the Acura 3.2 CL, and the TL But i need some more options to look at..

Preferances:

Decent sized V6 that is capable of gettin mid-high 20's on the highway

Preferrably a 2 door, maybe a 4 door if neccasary..

Most importantly, UNDER 13,000

Let me know if you guys have any ideas.. (BMW, Honda, Acura, Mazda, Nissan.. and so on)

Thanks..

I have a 03 TL type-s, awesome car and never had a issue with it. Sure there are tranny issues, but i read somewhere that that has only effected 22k TL's. Now figure that that sell around 60k a year thats not bad, so dont let that scare you. Also Honda Accords are extremely reliable. My mother ownes a 04 Altima and that hasent given her any issues either. So there are 3 picks right there.

Nissan Maxima 5th generation 6 speed 3.5...

Under your price range, well equipped, powerful and fast, yet fuel efficient, roomy...

And one of the best engines ever made, the VQ

I sold my Explorer last summer because I was driving 80 miles roundtrip to/from work. I wound up getting a Civic and am glad I did...especially the way gas prices keep rising. I've been averaging 35mpg. That's with AC on half the time. Interstate is about 70% of my driving. 30% is city.

I'd honestly look into getting a Civic. You could probably pick up a newer (used) one for near $13k. I know it's not on your list, and you'll definately miss the room you had, but you'll love the gas mileage. Just don't rice it out.

srt-4's can be had for around 12-13k if you get one with "high" mileage (being like 70-80k) and get 22 in the city, depending on you're driving. take the spare outa the trunk and there's plenty of space for subs and ****
