with the crappy gas prices you should get something that still gets you decent mpg. maybe a 240sx or something. something fast for less then 10k is kinda low for anything worth a shit

Somebody hasn't been keeping up with the times! This was true a few short years ago. Now, however, we're reaching MPGs closer to the other guys. Check some out, you might be amazed. For example, the Chevy Cruze gets around 42 MPG, not too shabby for a $17k vehicle. I use to own a Chevy Malibu and we got *maybe 19 MPG, the newer ones get 37 MPG.

Ford and Dodge have done the same thing. My Durango that I have, I'm lucky if that bitch gets 15 MPG, the newer ones get 23 MPG, though that's not a huge improvement, every penny helps with gas as high as it is now.

Truth. The fusion is a great car and is super reliable. I have a 4 cyl sel and i love it. You should be able to find a 2009-10 near your price range and they are great cars. The 6 cyl has plenty of power for a day to day driver.

Back to the topic (which is car UNDER 10k) - my recommendations are:
- V6 Accord
- Impreza WRX
- H6 Legacy or Outback
- V6 Camry

Like: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale ... 6122&Log=0


For the quality - per this study: http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/qualit ... elease.htm the only US automaker in top 10 is Cadillac.

95% of our so called problems are sync and nav related and are easly fixed with a free software patch and ford just realy got into the nav ,sync , and high end audio scene so its normal to have programing issues,and we were on topic.

The quality of most cars built now is pretty similar. But you are looking for one under 10k. That isnt going to get you a new car so you are going to have to go with a slightly older used car. That puts you in the import area for quality and gas mileage. F*CK all these people that are like "buy american". You are buying it used so you are stimulating our economy cause it is going to an american that already bought it and drove it for awhile. So get whatever you like the best. Do some research on what you want and price check them. Do you want good gas mileage, 2 door, 4 door, sports car, wagon, truck, suv, etc.? Once you figure out what type you want, then look for stuff that fits those requirements.

My recommendations are:

2004 Subaru WRX
Nissan 350z/Infinity G35
2005 or newer Honda Accord V6 2 door
Toyota Camry V6

I love my Chrysler 300, so if you want fast get the version with the Hemi. I personally have the 3.5L V6 and for me it's fast enough, I got it more for the ride and look.

Pro tip:

I think he's saying that the hype behind them is F*CKING stupid. The ol' "DUDE, IT'S A HEMI!" shit is F*CKING retarded. Most people who say that shit doesn't even know what it means. Yeah, it's MARGINALLY more efficient... but it's a marketing ploy just as much as the Miller "triple hops brewed" shit is.
