Recommend me a car to buy/avoid? 20k

[Sebby]

I got a job for when I finally graduate from school, it is with one of the big C.A. firms (accounting). I am looking to get a brad new car com this summer when the prices drop in August. Can you guys recommend anything you are driving now for about $20,000? That is in US dollars. Or tell me what to stay away from? I was thinking of something somewhat sporty or what not. I’m only an accountant by title. If I could afford it I would be driving a Grand Prix GT Turbo off the lot but I think it is out of my range, but what can you guys recommend?

Remember I have to drive in the Canadian winters up here…

Forget that, there is nothing wrong with used cars, I might get something a lot cheaper and just as good, recommend away.

Don't buy a new car, it will only be worth 15K by the end of the first year...

Nathan, what do you drive?

yep. unless its a toyota or honda, i dont think they depreciate nearly as fast, but i would highly recommend not buying any new american cars. Just get a 2 year old car its about 60% the price of a new one.

It depends on what you want. do you want reliability, sportiness, a nice interior, or what?

I would get a Toyota Camry, but thats just me because i like reliability.

It`s not a sports car but... that could be your next car after you make partner at the firm. lol

I was going to suggest a sub, awd is great in this shit weather,we just started getting the snow here in brantford a few hours ago and I have a fwd acclaim with bald tires

Appreciate the help. Keep it coming.

Honda, Mazda, Toyota and Nissan are great reliable vehicles

HOLY SHIT 20K?

BUY USED.

Stay within Honda (top choic) Toyota (close 2nd) , Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru (if you live where there's lots of snow)

For 20k you should be alble to get a car that is still under warranty.
