New car
I am buying a new car but I haven't decided on which one yet so I need your help.
i am looking for a brnad new car around 25,000 give or take. That's my budget.
I do about 60, 000 km a year. i am currently looking at Diesel but I don't know which one would be the better choice. I see pros and cons all over the web but no definitive answer.
Does anyone have a good suggestion?
I need something good on gas, something very sturdy that can last me at least 300, 000 km without any problems and eventualy last me 600, 000 km.
I take care of my cars. Always get them oil change at the right time etc etc.
So let's see what you guys have to say.
Cars I have considered so far:
Honda CRV
Toyota Rav4
hyundai Genesis
Jetta TDI (diesel)
PS. Can i trust Ford to make a decent car now? One that lasts more than 200, 000 km. I have had a lot of problems with american cars. i am very skeptical of their quality.

Mazda 3 (quality vs price is top notch)
Rabbit 2.5
Corolla Sport (great look since 2006)
I never was a fan, but the new Hondas are great. The new Honda Civic is awesome looking. And the quality has always been there.
And Ford... Now? Really? I mean, were they ever reliable.
Fuck American cars. My friend's Ford Taurus' engine just fell down. Yes. The damn thing fell out of the car.
No wonder they're all going bankrupt.

60.000km a year? Holy crap.
Do you ever get out of your car?

Years back I too had a Ford Taurus who's engine nearly fell out of the car. It was a design flaw where they failed to rustproof the 2 large bolts holding the front of the engine compartment up. Doh! The fix cost $250 and they payed for it. I got the recall notice about it after it happened, of course.
Out of your choice, Rav4 is probably best. Do not get diesel. Pollution.

The average person does about 20 000KM/Year give or take. Now, I don't know what the fuck you're doing with your car, but you won't find one that will last you till 600 000KM... After 150 000KM, repairs will need to be made, especially if you drive it as much as you say you do.
That being said, the Hyundai Genesis' are freaking amazing.
