Sooooo the Ralliart is done for DD duty. Not 100% sure what I'm doing with it just yet but trading it in for -$6,000 is definitely not it. So I need a new DD for the girlfriend/roadtrip vehicle for me. Rules are little different this time:
no boost
no awd
ABSOLUTELY no fancy trannys (DCT/DSG)
no fun allowed
requirements: 4 door, auto(boo), big enough for a ~300 pound ginger giant, actually has a dealership in or around Harrisonburg that doesn't suck shit (so no to Dodge this time)
wishlist: ~40mpg, hatchback, under 80k miles, less than 6-7 years old, lime green paint(not srs)
Suggest the most boring, most reliable $10,000 car you can think of. Not seeing much probably because this is what 90% of America is looking for at any given moment. Found a few $8,000 Fits, Civics seem to be $12-15k or 10 years old. Found a few Focus/Fiestas as well but their tranny issues are pretty well documented at this point. There is a brand new 2019 Fiesta SE sitting on the Ford dealer lot around the corner from me that they're probably dying to get rid of for $15,000, 0% APR and an extended warranty. Tempting but the I have DCT PTSD at the moment.
