First time buying car - Im tall and confused!
Hi I would like some advice if possible for my first car purchase. I would just like a place to start...there are so many cars and im totally lost.
here is what i know: -I dont care about prettiness, speed or any features. Just want it to go and stop without costing too much $$. -I would like to fit 4 adults in the car. -I dont have a specific budget but dont want to waste my money (i have a good job so i can handle whatever but dont need to impress anyone.) -I figure I would buy used since i dont care about having the newest stuff...but i dont know how old or how many miles is reasonable. ?? -I would like to get good gas mileage to save money -I live in Canada so there is winter but its not too bad here on the east coast. -Some cars are unreliable which sounds bad. -Im 6'6" so I have been told that i should look for telescoping steering wheels. -Im ok with fixing things later on down the line...but i dont know how to do anything now. -I find road noise mildy annoying...but its not a big deal. Does that add up to anything to anybody? A friend recommended the Hyundai Sonata but hes not a car guy. |

Re: First time buying car - Im tall and confused!
What do you think toyota avensis? Maybe you can search. This car is large and comfortable if you want to recommend you should choose diesel . How often drive you car in 1 year or how many drive distance 1 year? If you only use this car home to work or vice versa daily and going to holiday once a year. I think you can prefer patrol car. By the way which country are you living? In below You can find information about avensis 2.2 DCat 150
Engine: 4cyl 2231cc Driven wheels: Front Power (bhp): 150 Torque (lb/ft): 250 0-62 (mph): 9.80 Top Speed (mph) 127 MPG (combined) 43 MPG (urban) 34 MPG (extra urban) 51 Range (miles): 574 Euro NCAP: 5.00 |

They do not sell the Avensis or Ecosport in Canada.
I would say that any full-size Sedan should work - Ford Taurus (available with AWD for the winter), Toyota Avalon, Honda Accord, Chrysler 300 (also available with AWD).
