Exclamation First Car Buyer 2

I recently fell into some finances when my family sold our other house. I am now alowed to spend $10,000 on a car. I was thinking of a Jetta vr6 or a Eclipse GSX, but I am open to all suggestions. My priorities are reliability and insurance cost.

Re: First Car Buyer 2

Out of those two I would take the eclipse gsx. You said that insurance and reliability are you priorities. Are they your main priorities or are they the deciding factor out of faster cars. If you're just looking for a reliable,low insurance car I suggest a corrola,civic,or an accord.
