E-Tank Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 My dad just got a new job that's about 60 miles from home. Right now he drives a Ford Escape that has like 130k miles and is having exponentially more issues. He loves the car and wants to keep it and needs a second reliable/ fun commuter. He is 6'4" so it'll need to be something he'll be comfortable in. He told me to find him a car. He said he wants to spend 10K but I could probably get him to spend a bit more.

AShoe Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 2005-2006 Honda Accord. Comfortable for taller people and it'll get 30-35 on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gholman12 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I got my '05 2.5i Legacy Wagon 5mt with leather and a sunroof and only 44k miles on the clock for $11.5k. It's plenty big for me at 6'1", fits a ton of sh!t when I need it to, looks sexy, has enough pep with the 5mt that I enjoy driving it, gets 30mpg highway, has AWD, and is just about the best looking car I've ever seen. But a Honda Accord would work too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I picked up a 99 Accord for 2,200$ and its awesome it gets me about 28-30mpg so I vote for what was said above a 05-07 accord you cant go wrong esp with a long commute I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Scooby Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Try a VW Jetta TDI. They are fantastic cars and get about 42-45 mpg the MKIV generations go well under $10K. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of evil low life recommends a MkIV Jetta to someone!? There is a reason they go for under $10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
