Which car to buy?
Have to commute 30 miles daily. I live in bay area. Not looking to overspend! What factors should I consider before buying? This would be my first car ever. TC: 190k Age: 24
I’d go for Hyundai Santa Fe with all options. IMO, the best affordable SUV ever that will serve you for many purposes and many years.
Got my model3 3 months ago. Love it.
Awesome! I love it too! What was the onroad price? Is charging a hassle?
They'll cut the price soon again so might wait a little. Or buy a used one. Depreciation is insane even factoring in tax credits.
Depends on your lifestyle and requirements. Also if renting, it’s better to pay more rent and live closer to work rather than drive a luxury car. But that’s just me.
Got it! Thanks!
Looks like you need to do some research before buying.... There are 3 categories of cars you listed. What do you want/need? Lux compact sedan? Bigger family sedan? Considered SUVs?
Need a commute car but not too cheap. Looking to make a decent impression. Confused between lux and sedan Definitely sedan and no SUV
Sedans come in different sizes, from sub compact to large. They also divide into luxury segment (bmw, audi, mercedes and the like)and non-luxury(honda toyota etc) segment. If you want to make an impression I'd choose from luxury segment, and if you just need a commute car then a4 or model 3 would fit that description. Do look into their competition though
Prius with adaptive cruise control for stop and go traffic.
Prius 5 used or Tesla s used
Get a model 3 (and maybe a job at a company with free charging, less commute, more TC)
GT350 R. I’ll sound great, eat up the miles so the commute feels like nothing. And both drivers and pedestrians will move out of your way in fear of you hitting them.
This 👍🏻
GT350 R commutes exact at the same speed in the bay area as anything else. 3 mph
Go up a class, but not luxury. Check out Infiniti Q50 or Acura TL. Won’t break the bank and nice upgrade from a Honda.
How are Inifiniti and Acura not Luxury?
Civic or corolla. Not a new one. Get a three year old used one.
This. Please explain why? I've seen people recommend buying used cars. What is the reason?
Cheap, reliable, economical
