Hello guys. I plan to be buying/leasing a car in the near future. In the past I've only driven hand me downs from the family and this will be my first go at this. I'm totally overwhelmed at the options available and would like some help narrowing it down. So far I think I'm looking for a vehicle that matches the following criteria:
1) Mid Size. Not looking for a sub compact or something huge. Not sure how the categories work but something along of the size of the current Honda Accord and Civic.
2) Decent MPG. Mid 20s combined city/highway.
3) Modestly Priced 12-23k. (At the lower end of this range would be better.
4) Reliable/Low Maintenance. Available third party parts and easy service would be nice.
5) Not a super sports car ie Mustang/STI/Porsche but not super slow and boring ie Corolla/Camry.
6) Decent not super cheap looking interior.
7) Decent Ride (Will be driving this to school and to activities.)
So basically what I'm getting at is I'm searching for a decent well rounded car without breaking the bank.
So far I'm sort of musing the following:
1) 2013 Ford Fusion
2) 2012 Nissan Altima
3) 4-5 year old Lexis IS/Audio A4/Infiniti G25.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
