I agree with main... you can't go wrong with honda or toyota. You don't have much trouble out of them, and if do it isn't near as expensive as the luxury cars (BMW, Lexus, etc.)

Bah, I dont trust Honda anymore after my experience. To replace the automatic tranny on that Acura TL I had you were looking at around 6k. When all of those transmissions starting going bad they would put in a rebuilt tranny in your car, and those would break down later too. Some people went through 3 or 4 transmissions in the space of 20k miles. So the Japanses arent any better than the others.

There's good and bad with any car manufacturer. It really depends on what you are looking for. How much are you looking to spend? Do you want to buy brand new or used. A lot of the luxury car manufacturers are offering certified used with 100,000 mile warranty. Toyota Camry's are great on gas and very reliable, the Corolla is even better on gas and just as reliable.

lexus LS hybrid. Great on gas mileage, looks good, and it comfortable. Nuff said.

Lexus will cost you NOTHING to maintain. They are the best built cars I have ever experienced, and believe me, I've owned a lot of cars.

Altima

Sorry. Just a new guy opinion but.... My friends mom has had 4 Altima's in a row. All different styles and trims. She's never had any problems with maitenance. Maybe she's just lucky. I think for gas mileage and a nice ride and the with trade in of you c320, a newer Altima would be the way you're wanting to go. Just my $.02.

my best friend drives the lexus luxary sedan, dont know what model, but he also has an H1, bmw 745, and a mercedes, and he says out of all of them, the lexus is his favorite. might not look as 'flashy' as the others, but tahts not what youre looking for anyways...but he does like the lexus the most. i personally have the chrysler 300 and love it, so i suggest a 300

Replacing a transmission is costly no matter what type of car you have.

No doubt its expensive no matter what make of car, but you would expect the tranny they give you to hold up for at least 60k miles and not blow out at another 10k miles or less. SOme of those poor folks went through 3 transmissions. They were junk.

Ok so i have narrowed down the 2 options.. test drove a bunch of cars today..

its either a nissan altima (loaded) or a toyota camry SLE (loaded) about the same price.. i am leaning towards the camry because i like the interior better... they both drive very nice and good deals on the prices...


any thoughts
