Yoda!

Honda accord. Toyota Camry or Corolla. Nissan Altima

2005-2010 Almost anything Toyota. Avalon if it's not too big.

His career (coaching College baseball )does not pay well when you first start out. He is working two jobs in Nashville to pay the bills currently and can't really take on a traditional car payment.

Agreed. I think the better values are going with a non honda / toyota known for reliability and you get much more bang for the buck. Even something like buying a scion instead of a toyota, even though they are the same company, can save some serious money.

Porsche for sure

my wife had a Scion TC. Very reliable and ridiculously fast but fun to drive. It threw you back in your seat even slightly pushing the gas haha. About 10 years ago they were the most pulled over car brand in the country.

absolutely one of the worst vehicles in the snow :laugh: I think I’d rather drive a RWD full size pickup with an empty bed than that RWD TC

Honda or Toyota. Any model works...

Toyota or Honda

Civic and Accord. Hard to go wrong.

2 of my granddaughters drive Nissan Altimas. One is a 2.5, the other a 3.5. Both have been trouble free with the exception of a battery that died.

Anything Toy

Those old ones were bullet proof.

Find a late 90s, early 2000s Buick….good mileage, super comfortable, cheap, reliable
