Under 25,000 miles
Not RWD

Choices:
Toyota Yaris Hatch
2008 with 5k/mi for $10k

Honda Fit
2008 with 17k/mi for $11k

Honda Civic 2006+
2007 EX with 9k/mi for $13k

2007 with 22k/mi for $11k

Any common problems or years to avoid?

I would say either the Fit or the Altima. Depends on how much space you really need. They can both look nice when done up right.

DPancoast · 07-14-2009, 07:20 AM

I'd go with the Yaris or the Fit. Both are solid, cheap, reliable cars. Easy to work on (the others are
too but these are tiny) and they rock MPG like it's their job. Gl with whatever you buy.

omgjacki · 07-14-2009, 07:50 AM

Kia Soul+

240sxDann · 07-14-2009, 10:24 AM

Nissan Cube!

Out of those choices though I say Fit cuz they are baller little cars.

Elliott18t · 07-14-2009, 10:27 AM

fit all the way.

found that on a fit forum

Nors · 07-14-2009, 10:29 AM

Fit hands down.

SuperCoyle · 07-14-2009, 10:31 AM

Toyota Yaris

Cheapest car with lowest miles of all the choices.

that might help if your stuck between the yaris and fit.

jpalamar · 07-14-2009, 11:12 AM

Of those choices I would get the Yaris S.

For 14k you can get alot more car if you buy used....

You can buy my 2009 Fusion for 3k more, consumer reports top pick for reliability for 2009. Has a 6 year/60k mile warranty with a boat load of options compared to any of the cars you're looking at....just a thought

GMLSDRIVER · 07-14-2009, 12:22 PM

How about none of the above!!

PAFirefighter11 · 07-14-2009, 12:24 PM

I don't really like any of those. But if I HAD to chose... Altima.. I had a 3 series Bimmer I bought from Thompson. They gave me a loaner Maxima for a week when my Bimmer was being fixed. Man was that a fun car! Why not get a Maxima instead?

Maxima isn't an Altima... Not even close.

+1. Your looking in the **** box class of cars. For just a little bit more you can get something soo much better.

Good point! lol

Fit - going to be lots of aftermarket support for these things. Looks better than a yaris. As long as u dont' mind being in a smaller car. I've actually been considering one of those for myself. Its a nice car imo. And Honda to boot.

Showoff03LS · 07-14-2009, 01:36 PM

which ever is the easyer to Mod

Zillon · 07-14-2009, 02:31 PM

Why automatic?

Personally, I'd go with the Yaris.

Easy to work on, they handle amazingly well with springs, shocks, and a swaybar, lightweight, and you can hit 40 MPG easily.
