You don’t need to spend more than $300/month.

Years ago I bought my e46 for about $12,000. Maybe $1000 in maintenance in the 8 years I had it.

POLL: Flash poll: 2018 Ford Fusion

Ford is discontinuing the Fusion soon so parts may become harder to find/more expensive.

Good point. Wonder how long it takes for parts inventory to dry up for such

For a Fusion? A long, long time.

It’ll be well served in the aftermarket too. Boring parts are easy to churn out.

Fusion is a good car. I'd buy one.

I find the driver's seat area a bit cramped on the Fusion. My father has one

Agree, had one as a loaner while my car was in the shop, it was a little cramped

Also consider a Camry. Toyota seems to be doing a bit better than Honda recently in reliability ratings.

Ok, you 4! I didn't think I'd need to spell it out, but {this} means "fill in

If you must be boring at least go test drive a G70.

Which is what cars should be.

I don't even own a red shirt. I could never do a car lol. Yeah, drives my wife

52??? This thread needs a redirect. That is mid-life crisis territory and we should be talking about...

Those thoughts do cross my mind lol. But the "I'll look like a tool" thoughts

thankfully? I was in your shoes once but I grew out of it when I was 26.

Ok. That was pretty compelling. Next time! I signed paperwork an hour ago. 🙂

This poll makes me sad. Are those really your only desires in a car?

Tokolosh

While I get what you're saying, I've never had a car payment > $300 and for now

Sounds like you did well. BMW/Benz never really been on my radar for whatever

Go with a preference that works for you. I prefer German but lots of companies make fun cars...

I picked up a 2000 E320 for $5500. 28mpg, solid ride. I had one issue in my ownership, a rear window
