Lets talk about new vehicles

[drtyler]

Nissan makes a good car. The Altima is pretty nice and gets good fuel mileage.

 

[Zee09]

Oh no Jim please tell me you didn’t choose a Nissan

Lets put it this way
I have had numerous CVT's from day one. Had two 7 year old Mitsus with CVT's and no issues
Had so many push starts with never a replacement. I can go on and on.
No I haven't bought anything yet but at this point find one car sold people haven't plagued with bad press.
Stuff happens. Warranties are far better than the old days of 1 year or 12,000 miles
I guess at this point buy what you want and own it. Nuff said

 

[Zee09]

Oh no Jim please tell me you didn’t choose a Nissan

You haven't liked much
So go on record and name a new car I should buy- not old but new and under the parameters I set and when you
get time tell us why...

Well Ford, Mazda, Toyota Jim those are really the only cars we don’t see too many problems with and Honda but you don’t want those. Oh well if you have a warranty it should be on and sell it after a little bit.

 

[Zee09]

A 4Runner would be a great choice
Awesome resale value but it is dated and a gas hog
Plus I have a truck
The price isn't bad but its old.....

Toyota used to fill the automotive journals with all kinds of issues
Just this year they had recalls on the 4 cylinder engines
Remember a few years back Toyota would not sell an upscale model because of seat fires from Chinese
supplied parts. How about Hybrid gas fill issues this year. Honda- I have had so many and every year they get worse.
A great lease car- cheap because of high resale value. Mazda is okay but just one dealer here in 50 miles

Yeah you are right Jim lol I can’t be up to date with the modern stuff as I don’t like it.

Everything has issues. I suspect older is better because of easier fixing without all the electronics to you.
If I get a turd I will just trade it in. I get bored quickly anyway

You're never going to find a car posting on here all day.

I was going to recommend one of those big Buicks like a LeSabre but it seems Buick stopped making sedans. Buick Enclave? 300?

The big LaCrosse was still being made as of 2018. My 2016, the penultimate generation, fits most if not all of Zee09's criteria, and doesn't have the Auto Stop Start of the 2017-2019 models.

Actually I'm online for business all day- shipping
In fact I took a break and power washed my house. I'm "on throttle" lol

Yes I looked at them when they first came out- I agree
Plus all my family is GM and I would have gotten a discount.

Haha Jim if I done that to my house all the paint would probably come off.
