[QUOTE="dsw1204, post: 8573465, member: 663807"] If you plan on keeping the car for a long period of time then get a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. I like Honda Accords. Much more fun to drive than a Toyota Camry. Camrys are great, reliable cars. They are just boring...grandpa's car. I've driven a freind's Camry and "boring" is the proper word for the driving experience. The Nissan Altimas are fun cars. Tons of power, more than the Accord. They just don't have the fit and finish that I prefer. The manual transmission is not as refined as the Accord's. That being said, if the best thing about driving is listening to the sound system, then you should probably get a hatchback, as previously stated. Wouldn't get a Mazda as a friend's son had one and had major, major issues with engine and transmission. Had to get a new engine from the dealer and had nothing but problems with the tranny. I've never been in a Subaru, so I cannot provide any input on that manufacturer. These are just my opinions. I've been driving Accords since 1991 and have had no major issues. My current Accord is a 1991 that I have had for 10 years and the car is approaching 300,000 miles. Still has original clutch (5-speed) and engine. I did put in a new gas tank, recently. It's nickle and dimeing me a bit, but nothing serious, yet...knock on wood. [/QUOTE]
