Participant[quote=flu]This is a no brainer if the car doesn’t need to be performance oriented…
2011 Hyundai Sonata….You barely will break $25k out the door….
10 year warranty, pretty fuel efficient, and excellent crash ratings from IIHS.

http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=427Why even bother buying a used accord or camry? Most of those have an older design, and aren’t as crash worthy.
Camry and Accords are overpriced appliances these days.[/quote]
I would agree with you except the Sonata is a new design, I would wait for the next model year to work out the bugs.
I also have a Sienna – and it is an awesome vehicle, seriously.
I test drove a 2008 328 Sedan today and was surprised how small the interior is – at 6-1 a 3 Series just seems to small for me.

ParticipantA good bang for your buck right now is either the Fusion or Mercury Milan and you can get these in Hybrid and still come in under your number.

ParticipantSo far…here is what we tried today:
Toyota Avalon–he is still too tall and can’t see the stoplights.
Camry, Mazda6 (I have one) too small.
Honda Element–fit him well, very boxy, large interior, but seems a little cheap.
Toyota Scion–better price than the Element, also boxy and fit him, but again…just didn’t seem to be the right car.
Prius–he liked all the gadgets, but again too small.
His partner has a 2003 Grand Marquis, and he thinks maybe a new one of those might suit.
Will definitely check the Toyota Sienna.Like I said…he is a big guy!
