OK, in August of this year I'll be offloading my leased van and reverting to a decent car 'cus I deserve it. I believe that in the next few years: Interest rates are going up. Gas prices are going up. I plan to buy and keep a decent car that's good on gas and will last a long time. In the $30k-45kCanadian, price range So regardless of brand would you pick: A/ Brand new or 1yr old, 2 yrs old or older etc. Whcih of these brands do like and why: B/ Prius Subaru BMW Jaguaar Volvo Audi Lexus Nissan Infiniti Mercedes Acura Saab Thanks Edited by Harry |

Sorry Harry, I'm just a Canadian carpet cleaner. I can't afford any of these until I get on the IICRC BOD and "line my pockets" Seriously though, I like the looks of most Acuras, BMWs and Lexus. As far as reliability goes, check out Consumer Reports website. |

Love my Lexus, great car and great service from my dealer. The Prius is great on gas. as a matter of fact, a friend has one and told me he just drove to Florida and back on $50.00 for gas.

Don, what do you like about your Lexus, and how is for gas, repairs and maintenance ?
Other than gas consumption what else do you know or like about Prius? Thanks psst, Paul, don't tell Joe for pitys sake..... |

Harry...
here ya go... A/ I'm buy an off lease certified car..WAY cheaper! B/ Prius - good friend has one and loves it. I love the mileage and it actually rides nice and is comfortable. Downside is not a lot of history on the drivetrain, how long will they last???? Subaru BMW- I have an older one..the ultimate driving machine! The new 7 series reliability is not as good as in the past. GREAT CARS!!! Jaguaar - better since Ford in in the picture. Volvo - Nice! Friends are happy with them. Audi- underated..I really like these cars Lexus Nissan Infiniti Mercedes - new CLS is one of the sexiest cars I've seen in a LONG time...I WANT ONE!!! Acura Saab
my.02! AND..whatever you do...don't get the leather interior, if you rip or stain it the guys who fix it will rip you off BIG TIME!! f**king crooks!!!
