could use some car advice

[Hajo]

My advice.  Purchase what you want but do some research first.  You will  own it and drive it.

So best be satisfied with your decision.

I have an '04 Subaru Impreza 2.5TS sport wagon. Fun little car, been driving 2 years and full coverage I'm only paying $200 a month with one recent accident on my moms license. If you can find an '04ish impreza and you want something sporty, not bad on mileage and cheap on the insurance, get one and put some aftermarket goodies in it.

Camrys are great cars. dependable, lot of room inside, and pretty dependable.

I had a V6 camry too, bought it new in 2000.  This thing had quite a bit of 'zip' to it as well, way more than I needed, but fantastic acceleration if you wanted it.

I had it serviced regularly per the manufacturers recommendations, never had a single, not one, maintenance problem.

Sold it to my brother for low blue book, he's had it now for 6 years and had no problems either, got about 200k miles. 

It's just a well made car.  I felt I got great value from it.
