taking suggestions for new daily driver

[jrb92se]

i really like infintis (m'sand q's) and wouldnt mind a volvo they are pretty nice (those r things) i dont know about whether they have reliability issues or not, im not a honda/acura fan from past personal exp. but i was thinking about maybe a subaru legacy, or outback thing because my father is a subaru specialist , and one other factor is that i have a dog (with white hair) that rides around with me sometimes. i actually had an 87 bronco2 but the trans blew then the h/g, ive had rangers and dont mind them or other trucks. but any way post some more pics and sorry that im being kinda vague in what id like becuse it leads to a more varied selection from many different people everyones made alot of great suggetstions already thanks

The Legacy is nice looking, but I dont know much about them. Think its available with the STi's 2.5L turbo (300hp?)

[Veriest1]

The GC8 2.5RS tempts me.

[HashiriyaS14]

Buy a $2,000 Civic, keep it stock, and spend the rest of your money on something fun (or don't spend it at all)

[sbird1]

Take a page out of MoD's book and get a Lincoln LS V8. Nice cars.

[naladude911]

Get a 2WD (you're in Florida) Infiniti QX4 or a pathfinder. You have something nice to drive, and a place for the dog.

I like the last-gen Legacy. I'd like a 3.0R (H6) with a manual.

a 1st gen CRV would be good. Mines got 166k on it and its still drives like new. Its also getting from 27-30mpg, which is great for it, its epa is like 22ish.

or a Honda Civic, pre the current gen. An Accord, Legend, Sentra, Tacoma,

It'd be a little help of what you're specifically looking for. And what you do daily, have family? etc.

The new Hyundai Tuscon and Kia forte and Forte Koup are pretty nice.

i dont have a family but i have a big white dog i bring with me alot, i also drive around alot for work everday but sunday, i do site prep and survey work so i have to carry tools sometimes but nothing to dirty, i agree with the lincoln ls, my brother had one and they are mint i also i reallly like the legacy but id like to get one of those outback wagons (the ones that kinda look like sti's), because of the dog, and i can stuff tools in it for work when i need to, i wouldlnt mind gettin a crv but, no offense, they are kinda girly, but that is a good suggestion because there are alot of little trucks like that i didnt even think of.

The Outbacks are nice! I like SUbi's alot tho. I just can't budget one yet =[[

The Mitsu Outlander isn't a bad vehicle either, and its a decent price.

And well I am a girl who owns a CRV lol

But little trucks are good like the Tacoma. They do good with gas (unlike bigger ones) but they're not so big and stuff.

What about the Rogue? Or the Equinox & Terrain (not sure how you feel on GM)? And the Sportage or Tuscon?

With a dog, and some tools it seems a small suv/crossover, hatchback or a pick up would best instead of a sedan.

I wouldnt suggest any recent Toyotas tho. They're failing miserably, going on a 3rd recall. -.- And older Tacoma (before they got bigger) are good, and they do go far. I've found several with almost 400k on the odo still running good.

[flohtingPoint]

VW Jetta/Golf TDi. Runs forever and great gas milage.

ive concidered z's and g's, i like them alot but my family has has 4 g's and 2 alts, also my brother has he sickest cleanest baller 4 door 35 ive seen and i cant have a car thats the same as his but not as cool lol. how do you guys feel about mazdaspeed proteges not mazda 3s, but the earlier mazdaspeed proteges? im gonna make sugestions light trucks, diesel trucks, hatchwagons , sports cars and performance sedans. im not gonna lie and say i wouldnt mind being able to have a fast sleeper sedan, i really like the new shos and like fusions too. as far as pick ups i like tacomas s/c version=drool, frontiers, rangers and f150s, sports cars i like z's, g's, m3s, hatchwagons are outbacks legacies wrxs, and of course new stis, perf sedans are older m5s, m45s, pont g8's and new taurus shos (high priced),. im not a fan of any gm product besides the g8 and corvette. i like cummins diesel dodges and ford powerstrokes for diesel trucks. as for small suv i like honda elemenets and ford fusions (im not a flamer) when i can think of some more ideas on my end for your judgement ill post them .

[MinisterofDOOM]

MS Proteges are fun, but they're not in the same league as the MS3, WRX, etc. They make very little power and aren't nearly as hotted-up. Still fun, but they haven't really aged well.

[s14_girl]

If you considered a Volvo, I think an 850R would be pretty sweet!

i had a 92 prot i got for 500 bills it was one of the most reliable and simplest cars to repair ive owned, drove it all over and then the bands in the transmission went at 220000 so i sold it for 275! i have a buddy that has an ms prot, ahem, friend of a friend has one (hes a solid ricer with bad taste) but its factory turboed and if you take off the badges and stupid wing add a blk frount mount an a real tasteful exhaust it could be a good sleeper, of course nothing like my 240 but sill fun (i dont autox or drag race/street race) the ms prot isnt highon my list of favorites but i dont hate them. i said above i liked small suv's and said the ford fusion but i meant the ford flex. and no im not gay, although if i was id probley actually get laid. , my friend just got a newer 5 series with m6 wheels for graduating college and i am no bimmer fan but it makes me drool. . eventually when i decide to get the car i will post pics somehow because i cant figure out how to any more. thanks guy youve all been very helpfull i appreciate the lack of sarcasm and serious replies. but keep the suggestions coming im not gonna stop reviewing this thread for a couple weeks. thanks again. id like to add that one of the biggest selling points will be the cars lack of attention it garnishes from cops!!

[jrb92se]

well i decided im going to get a forester, mid 2000s infinti m45, a 4 cyl white ranger or v8 f150 worker, a retired crown vic police detectives car, a licoln ls, a xterra or fronteir, or a legacy gt thats not numerically organised or a list of best to worst its just what i think would be suitable for me as a daily
