Looking for a new, reliable car?

Question

What is the best car within the 15k price range. That is new? I would like a sedan. Any brand is good. No yaris or fit though.

Answer 1

Amy,

The 2011 Aveo and Cobalt would be really close to your price range. I would definitely recommend looking at the features and specs pages for these vehicles as well as the build your own tool on the web site, www.Chevrolet.com. The features and specs pages will show you the differences in trim levels. The build your own page will allow you to build the vehicle of interest to your specifications. It will provide MSRP information on the right of the page, as well as an option to locate the closest match to the vehicle you built in local dealer inventory. I do not see any other vehicles that fall in your price range. I would also recommend looking into GM Certified Used vehicles. Here is a direct link for an advanced search on that site:

You can choice from the following known to be the top 10 best car interiors for 2010. Chevy Aveo, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, Mitsubishi Lancer, Chevy Cobalt, Kia Soul, Scion xD, Nissan Cube, Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra. Visit the carfinderservice to find available units on your place. Wish you all the luck.

Answer 3

Just be sure it’s American or European because the quality of Japanese and Korean cars has been going down hill faster than a run-away train in recent years so avoid anything from Japan or Korea, they have high repair costs and often need to have parts ordered instead of being in stock like American cars will and that will leave you with nothing to drive while you wait for ordered parts to come in. They also don’t last as long as American or European cars. Even the ones “assembled” in America are built with low quality imported Japanese parts.



That fact being said I suggest a Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Solstice, Corvette or Ford Mustang for sports cars.



Chevy Cruz, Chevy Cobalt, Chevy Malibu or Ford Focus for practical cars.



Jeep Libertyor Jeep Cherokee for off road fun.



If you prefer an imported car go with Mercedes, Audi, Vauxhall

or VW they will be a LOT more reliable than Japanese or Korean.

Answer 4

I would highly recommend a Scion xD.
