Hey im buying my first car soon and dont know which car to choose from the ones i mentioned in the title and was hoping for some assisstance ... im no car expert but here are the reasons i want each ... Impala - new design looks awsome (ext and int ) , powerful 3.6L V6 (compared to the 328i's I4 ), lotsof great features like the blind spot assist , has nav , good ground clearance (7.1 inch or somethin ). 328i M sport - even better design than the impala (especially the estirol blue with coral interior looks amazing ) , good but not as good as the V6 I4 engine , very comfortable cockpit , the on glass HUD , decent ground clearance (5.5 inch)(cuz i live in a place with lots of bumps ). i know im probably missing lots of technical and important stuff but that why im here ... can u guys help me decide ?

I'm buying my first car soon and I've been looking at different cars that were in the price range of $5,000 or less. Now I'm looking for other people's opinions for which cars, used of course, are trustworthy cars and fast too but still look nice. I've looked at many cars so far and I've been checking the years too so that I can check which years are bad and have many problems and which years are better so that's still an important factor. Thank you to all!

I honestly DO NOT know where to post this, hope it's okay I am doing it here. Hello everyone, I am 24 years old from Toronto and I obviously have a G licence. (I am from the suburbs actually but it's close). I drove my father's car for years and now I need my own. I have not more than $10,000 for the car and that price should cover EVERYTHING I need for the car other than upgrades I will spend on individually later on Facts: 1) I can't drive manual (yeah it sucks) so please don't ask if I can. 2) I want something sporty (2 doors or 4 or a hatchback). 3) I will share this vehicle with my mother and sister so it can't be something like a Toyota Celica which according to them is " too small and uncomfortable". 4) I love how reliable Toyota Camry is and honestly the car looks great but I want something more powerful but as reliable or close to it at least. 5) I already said I can ONLY afford in TOTAL on EVERYTHING not more than $10,000CAD so if it's even a dollar more it's out of my budget. 6) I LOVE MUSTANGS but doubt I can get a nice one in good condition for the price (they're coming with a face-lift on 2015 and I will probably finance that if I will be able to afford it then) I also hear that the Mustang V6 2004 has a good name when it comes to power and reliability but I am not sure how true it is, so let me know. 7) I love the 2014 Subaru BRZ and I checked it for insurance and it was $245/month. (I don't know how accurate it is but just saying) I love that car. As a side note I also really like the Acura RSX but I think they're too pricey mainly for the fact it's still a Honda. Anyway correct me if I'm wrong. Keep in mind that this is my first car so even if a Lamborghini is only 5 bucks, I still won't get it because the insurance will rape me. So please be mindful when it comes to cheap but insurance costly cars. I will periodically add more points but for now this is it. Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hi i just turned 16 and have started to look at cars to buy. My budget is up to 8k. Two cars i have been interested in are the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix. I have done some research and know that they are practically the same (toyota made a deal with pontiac and made the same car) but found two similar deals in my area of residence and cant decide between the two. Heres the link for the Pontiac :http://denver.craigs...2802330271.html. If the link doesn't work then this is what the description says: 2007 Pontiac Vibe, 71,000 miles. Exact same car as the Toyota Matrix. You can expect the reliability of a Toyota. This is a solid car, great brand. Automatic Transmission. Four door. Hatchback liftgate with separate liftglass Large carrying capacity - great for hauling bikes, skis, strollers... Seats in back fold flat, great for car camping - you could even make a bed back there. Air Conditioning, Dual Air Bags, Roof Rack, Sun Roof The front console has a handy 115V plug outlet (that is like a two prong wall outlet). Front wheel drive. New wipers. Tires recently balanced and rotated. Recent oil change. Cautions: Windows and locks are manual; CD player doesn't work (radio does), no back wiper. This car doesn't have bells and whistles but it has a reliable brand. -$6900 The Toyota Matrix i found said its a 2003 matrix xr automatic transmission with 60,000 miles and has a sun roof also. The seller is asking for $7900 but im pretty sure i could bargain him down to $7500. My main delima is that the pontiac is four years newer, a bit cheaper, but has 10,000 more miles and does not have a working cd player (cheap to fix), has manual windows and locks, and has no back wiper. Both cars are in good running condition and seem to have been taken care of well. If anyone knows anything or might have some advice, please comment. Thanks.
