What is the ultimate $40k daily driver?


Recommended Posts

Here's challenge to pick the best all around nice daily driver.

 

Criteria:

 

- $40k total price (new or used), see below for corrections. Do not include taxes

- You have a $300/month budget to maintain the car. If the car is new and includes warranty/service, this may be applied as a monthly payment on a more expensive car for 3 years, for an extra $10k to the total price.

- 25 mpg, 20k miles a year is the baseline mileage, or $3200 a year for gas. Add or subtract cost over 3 years for a major variation in fuel economy

- Modifications should include cost of parts plus labour and count as part of total price

- Must be 4 season capable, include any costs for winterization (snow tires for RWD/FWD) in the total price

 

Goals, self scoring:

 

- Fun to drive, extra points for manual, big HP, good handling

- Practical, must transport 4 adults and/or a good amount of stuff

- Luxury counts

- Must impress women/peers/other people

 

Example:

 

2012 STi hatch, stage 2+, suspension mods, etc, w/service package for total $50k. Is plenty fun and fast, is impressive to younger people, not as much luxury.

 

2010 Audi S4 or BMW 335xi manual, $40k total used. Fun, fast, very nice and impresses the ladies.

 

ETC.

 

GO!

My 05 5mt wagon. what would be even better is this car with a sti 6mt.

 

Roomy, rides nice, good HP, cheap on taxes...quick

 

And I don't think it high on the "let's steal that car" list.

 

And it didn't cost 40K, not that I haven't spent that much on it... ;)

No girl gets moist thinking about a station wagon.

 

Your meeting the wrong kind of women. LOL

 

That's why my other car is a Spec B. LOL

 

Te GF has even received comments from other women about that car when she drives it.

Yes they do. The divorced MILF's that are looking not only for a companion, but also a father figure for their kids. They see a wagon and think, here is a responsible young man that I can screw and ask to go to the grocery store to buy my kids' school supplies.

 

If you are into redneck women, I suggest a truck. The bigger, the better. If you have big old wheels, you are bound to attract a redneck female with big old jugs of her own. She will show you her people of walmart inspired tattoo, but you will have to lay some rubber down and peel out to get her to strip.

 

If you are into wholesome, girls next door that like to dress up, I recommend buying a car with a badge. BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover, etc. They may look nice on the outside, but these girls require maintenance and want someone with a deep wallet. You will not get them wet if you show up with a Nissan. If you want a girl that likes your Honda/Nissan/Toyota, please cruise by the local HS.
