The Most Car For the $ Thread

[c0mmon]

I want to see the opinions of what is the most car you can get for your money in the US. ** NEW CARS SRY****

My start


base model f150, 23k seems like you get alot of car

[Lwize]

$20K for base Passat. Definitely hard to beat.

[ssantoro01]

new car: 2013 veloster turbo when it comes out this summer.

200hp turbo 6 speed hot hatch with crazy standard features for around a little less than 20k.

probably going to be a fun car

older model:

w210 e55 amg or sn95 4v cobras

[2.0T_Convert]

Can buy new for $25,000 or so.

[AHFlynn]

e36 m3

sporty
quick
seats 5
fancy for 5k

[Roboturner913]

For a new car? Probably the Accent 5-door. Tops out in the 15,000 range with all the options, doesn't do anything bad, and will probably outlive anything in the next segment up.

[VR6boi65]

New Focus.

[sethgood]

2 year old used Volvo S80.

[compy222]

subaru forester. reliable, easy to work on, can tow/haul a fair amount of stuff, easily seats a few people, and comes with a pretty long list of options.

[Tuneman7]

Sub-100K world beater performance.

[initiation]

You actually don't get any car at all

[KharatosGTI]

Cuz TCL:

[corrago]

Anything in that $500 car thread, because, you still get a car and it only cost $500..

[SVTDanny]

For a new car, the price:performance ratio of these two will be hard to beat.

[01tj]

Of course the Saab wins but..




Lot of money, lot of car

[Stereodude]

Since the OP said new cars...

2012 Impala (if you have access to the GM employee discount). GM is knocking an extra $8k off the regular employee price. You can get a fully loaded LTZ for $23,586 or a fully loaded LT for $20,744.

[SLC_Punker]

I vote base WRX. For ~$25k, you get 265hp, AWD, and 5-door hatch utility. And sporty.

that will be under 20k????

[turbo_nine]

Probably best to stay with new cars in this topic.

You could get some really off-the-wall answers among used vehicles.

[digraph]

does "most car for the $" mean the price to weight ratio?

[volkstyle]

This is correct, but cars like the 04 GTO, E36 M3 are all great deals

[Lifelong Obsession]

Camry SE
Base Legacy
Scion tC
V6 Mustang (and possibly V6 Camaro?)

[lhcVdub]

volkswagen phaeton.

[chippervw]

MazdaSpeed3

And with the LTZ you get that super sweet 3.6L V6 that nails down some pretty impressive mileage figures and power.

That's the best deal of all of these cars, save for the Accent.

[Sonic303]

Honda Del Sol-15gazillion pesos.

Seriously though, Maxima or Altima maybe Idk, or a cow...

All of the trim levels of the 2012 Impala have the 300HP 3.6L V-6 and the 6 speed auto. Even the LS. However, the LS doesn't get the $8k discount.

e36 m3 : sporty, quick, seats 5, fancy for 5k

For 5k you'd be hard pressed to get a working (read under 150k miles) E36 M3 anyplace .... a much better "most car for the $" would probably be:



Beating 100k+ supercars with a few cheap upgrades and offering the practicality of a 4 door family sedan combined with very decent fuel economy on cruise

[Fe2O3]

Can you still get the Ram 1500 for cheap?
