[quote=scaredyclassic]Need a new car for a much longer commute. Just spent 3k for smog repairs on a 10 year old Honda. Want to keep that as a 2nd car as I don’t have faith in it anymore.
Not under consideration:
Tesla: fuck Elon musk
Foreign nightmares: bmw, or anything the dealer wants 400 for an oil change
Pickup trucks
Hummer
Tried to buy a leaf, but can’t find anything less than 3k over sticker.
But maybe now is the contrarian time to buy a gas car, with a move to electric?
Lexus SUV?
Hyundai Tucson?
Toyota Highlander?
I hate being gouged due to low supply . I also feel maybe I need a big safe car to commute a lot.
Advice?[/quote]
toyota/lexus because of fit/finish/reliability
hybrid so it won’t waste gas not really going anywhere very fast in stop/go rush hour traffic jams (or in an urban area)
personally would go for a sedan over a higher stance crossover/SUV which is less fuel efficient
if you are spending lots of time in a vehicle, I’d opt of luxury touches to be “comfortable” (hence less stressed)
