Car Suggestions? UPDATE Bought one see post 45!

[Boilerup15]

My wife and I have determined that she needs to sell her Jeep Liberty and buy a car. She drives alot each day and the gas mileage needs to be better. She wants a sedan but some what sporty looking. She hates the color white, I don't know why. What are some suggestions? We are looking to spend around 12K on a vehicle for her and will be trading in her Jeep. I already know about what we can get for the Jeep. I just want to get her a good reliable car that will last her awhile.

She would have drove that one that I had but she wants/needs a 4 door.

Get a Kia or a Hyundai, their warranty alone is worth it. The sonata is an awesome car and the new optima rocks!

I would still look at em...but in four door...

Accord or Altima. Both get superb fuel economy and last forever (Leaving out Camry because she isn't a grandmother). Nissan is making incredible deals on new Altimas right now.

As much as I would like to buy a Brand new car, that isn't possible. We just can't afford that much of a monthly payment at this time. I have been looking alot at 07' and 08' Impala's.

Impalas are pretty decent cars that should run for a good, long time, although their styling isn't very exciting at all. There is a reason they are used by so many fleets.

I don't mind the styling, but there are little things you can do to help that out also. One reason I consider one is because so many fleets use them, they must last.
