My husband works on cars for a living. He says the Toyota Camery or the Chevy Malibu, best rated cars on the road, pricier would be Volvo (safest on the market but are high dollar).

I have heard the most popular colors are white, silver. There are so many to choose from. Pick a make that is made for quality and mileage. Hubby said to tell you to do your research as now they make some cars mostly plastic. Lots of options to pick from out there! I like the ones that parallel park themselves! And start with pushing a button but not sure I would trust em to behave! Toyota changed some parts from the old way to computers and look what happened to them. Just keep your eyes open and don't let them swindle you. They love to swindle women!

buy a used car...you get more for your money.

i pretty much always buy used cars because of the IMMEDIATE depreciation of buying a new car.  with that being said...i buy cars that have very low miles (not more than 15,000) and are still under warranty.

never give the dealer what he is asking.  look the car up on the computer...like in kelly blue book and see what it is worth "wholesale"...even with all the bells and whistles that you want.  with that knowledge...start offering 500.00 over that price and SLOWLY work your way up to a price that you can both agree on.

my car now is a cadillac srx.  it was not quite 2 years old and only had 12,000 miles on it when i bought it.  it is MAXED out with options and i "worked them" until i paid 10,000.00 less than what they had it listed for.

I have a Toyota Sport, all black, 4 door but is a small car. Gets great gas mileage and have not had one iota of a problem with it in 4 years. Only maintenance is oil change and tires. Love it and will drive it till it dies.

The remote start can be added to any vehicle after the fact.  My husband got one installed in my Toyota Camry and I love it and the car.  Where I live there are 2 Toyota plants within 30 minutes so in my area we are pretty loyal to Toyota.  I have to say this car (I bought a used 2005) has had the least amount of issues over any of the Fords I had previously owned.

I would highly recommend a Subaru, which are highly rated all wheel drives. They're highly ranked for safety and have excellent maneuverability. They have attractive and unique styling features. And, they offer very good mileage (21-31 MPG) on regular gas. I bought a 2009 Legacy Outback, which is a crossover SUV/ Wagon for 30K, including tax and licensing fees. Mine's a fully loaded 5 door hatchback... with an enhanced speaker system plus satellite radio; leather seats, front and side air bags, tinted side windows, heating system inside the front seats; sunroof... etc. So, if you went for smaller model (like the Impreza) or an Outback or Forester without all the extras, you just might be able to buy one for around that 25K price.
