Camry or Accord, unless you want your mother to hate you after she brings her Passat for a $1000 40k service 2 years from now.

Key word retired, were trying to stay in the 35k-40 range, and we really wanna stay in the 4 cylinder or diesel I also am not opposed to a honda accord but I find them to ride a bit more rough and where I am hills potholes bumps fricken suck

i was just efing with the dude who suggested honda accord, passat 1.8t would be good enough of a choice and its also torquier on the low end as its a turbo so its good for daily.

Alright so its about that time for my mom to get a new car, I have a 2011 gti 6mt so I know the quality of Vw. Now the two cars that are at the top are the Toyota Camery and a 2014 Passat , in my mind the Passat drove better, has a much smoother ride and the build quality is much better then the camery, however she cant seem to put the fact that the Toyota has much better mpg (hybrid) so I am looking for some reasons that I can use to help settle the choice and pick up a Passat.

(I am not trying to turn this into a argument on which car is better just looking for some convincing arguments to help choose the passat.)

IMHO, I would look at the new Avalon instead of the camry as it's closer to the Passat in size and price.

yeah avalon is on the list of things to test drive, so people really are aiming away from the passat thats really surprising to me.

Lettuce be real tea... well all know the Passat has a good chance of causing issues :bellyroll: as much as we love VW's.

I'd vote for the Accord... they come with some serious luxury level tech in them nowadays which has me surprised!

Interesting there's a Mazda dealership across the street from the Toyota dealership I will have to stop in and take a look. I also want her to look at a x1 because with the new car the SUV will be going to Syracuse with my sister And my parents ability to haul stuff will be gone.

So what we have looked at are
Subaru cross trek-ruled out
Toyota camrey
Toyota Avalon-haven't driven new model have the old ones
Vw passat

What we will look at
BMW x1 (humoring the father for a SUV)
Mb cla 250
Mazda 6
Honda accord (may have been mentioned as a joke but it fits the class were looking at getting so y not)
Hyundai sonata-maybe



Anything else you guys think would be a good choice
