for 2+ hrs to work, you need a cruiser, not necessarily fun to drive (you're prob gonna just be going in a straight line on a highwaty or something)

lexus's have great interior features for comfort

next best thing is prob a camry

try to find a tdi also

google search "top fuel efficient cars" and you should see a few top ten lists that will help. I was in the same boat but did not have the cash flow you have and was looking pre-owned but found a number of them from that google search. My favorite from the list was the mazda 3 which gets up to 40+mpg.

Hi, thanks for the input.

Knight 2000 I don't know what you are getting at... sorry i am new to cars.


A gas efficient car is what i am looking for, but i also want a car that is good in snow and rain... especially for long distances.

What about suv's like jeep compass that get 30+ mph?

[Makaveli.]

I'd absolutely recommend the V6 Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima.. Have tried both for a daily 90 minutes drive for more than 6 months (ps: for long drives do not get leather seats). I think they look much more better than the Camry, interior quality is excellent for the line range, price is very reasonable. It's also pretty economic, even the V6 3.5L..

If looking for higher quality, check the Honda Accord too.

Goodluck
Mak

Sorry, nothing against you. It's what I used to do when selling cars and someone told me they had a budget of $10,000 - $50,000.

Go with a Camry. Size and fuel economy.

It may also be beneficial to move closer to work?

Passat TDI? Comfortable cruiser with excellent mileage.

[BRealistic]

I had a great suggestion- but alas, it is 51k.

[Zyoid]

TDI: (Golf, Jetta, Passat)
-Great fuel economy
-Fun to drive

[goshem]

your budget is VERY broad $10,000 to $50,000 could be a econobox camry or it could be a luxury sedan, what do YOU want?

[08 MKV GTI]

I'd recommend at least test driving a 2013 GTI before you even think about a Camry, Sonata or Fusion.

New here and I just picked up a 2012 TDI jetta. Technically I actually don't get it till Monday. I did a lot of research and discovered that for the money, it really doesn't get much better than the TDI jetta.

[Mishimoto]

Don't get the Jeep Compass.

[mujjuman]

Don't get Dodge Caliber

[Blingmo]

I think the Toyota camry might have been a better option for you if you are really looking forward to have a nice ca in your estimated budget... Because of the Fuel efficiency and the comfort as compared to the other cars i think it might suit your need.......
