Car for up to 45k

My wife needs a newcar, nav is needed. She only drives local because she's scared of the highway. Thoughts?

M37, GS350, 328i

Ariel Atom, and a Tom Tom. They get great gas mileage.

Hyundai sonata and 20K for mods.

Audi A4. Very practical.

Depends on what she cares about / prefers.

Sonata / Optima / Fusion are great cars and even when loaded leave you with plenty of extra. The Nav system in the Fusion along with SYNC is pure badassness.

GS350 is great, but gets expensive with options (which are necessary IMO).

. Must be 4wd and very practical soccer moms car. I was thinking Toyota sequoia or venza

In that case, Cadillac SRX... or Buick Enclave if she's looking for something larger.

You didn't think of including this information in your original post?

Forester
Legacy
Edge
AWD Fusion
LR2 (if she likes heading in for repairs)

A Sequoia is big, man. You sure she "needs" that much "practicality"?

KingOfJericho · 02-11-2011, 03:42 PM

If someone is scared of certain driving situations, I don't think the largest Japanese export is appropriate.

Hell no to a sequoia or venza.

M37

newowner35i · 02-12-2011, 09:12 AM

How about tsx wagon (not e91 because it's getting old and not Audi because ive had a a4 have it's turbo break at 10k miles)

b0bab0i · 02-12-2011, 10:25 PM

mtla4 · 02-12-2011, 11:11 PM

May sound cheezy but what about a nice dodge caravan.

Year's_End · 02-13-2011, 12:22 AM

Didn't see the practicality bit. New Durango or Ford Explorer ftw.

gun6slinger9 · 02-13-2011, 02:40 PM

A G-Wagon... wait nvm <$45k

Used X5?
Toyota Sienna? (The guy that picks up the dry cleaning at my workplace drives one)
