 Re: seeeking advice
american blows 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

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.

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.

 Re: seeeking advice
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=0For the quality - per this study: http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/qualit ... elease.htm the only US automaker in top 10 is Cadillac.

 Re: seeeking advice
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.

 Re: seeeking advice
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

 Re: seeeking advice
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.

 Re: seeeking advice
Pro tip:
Buy American. Don't by a Chrysler Product. (Also, Hemi's are F*CKING retarded.)
