I didn't know which forum to post this on, so hopefully this is as good as any. I'm in the market for a new car. My 3 biggest concerns are:
1
) gas milage / size - no huge SUVs here
2
) reliability - I'm a Toyota girl at heart
3
) my bike! I need a car that's easy to get the bike in and out of. I have a bike rack, but with where I work
(very bad area
) that's just something else I'd have to carry up to my office every morning I bring my bike in. So, I'd rather a car I can just easily put the bike inside of.
So far I've looked at the following:
Toyota Rav4 - still a possibility but a bit big for me
Toyota Prius - hated driving this for a variety of reasons
Scion xD - going to give this a second chance but the one I drove didn't have much pickup
Honda Fit - loved this one, but possible it's too small - I don't want to get run over by the trucks here. Also afraid I love it now but might get bored with it after year or so
Honda CRV - I'd get the Rav4 before this one
Hyundai - didn't like the cars I tried here. I think it was the Tuscon and Santa Fe
So, right now it's down to possibly the Rav4, Fit or Scion. My mom mentioned the Nissan Rogue so I'll test drive that tomorrow. But, I am still looking for any or all suggestions as I'm not sold on any of the above cars yet. Also, if you have any of the cars I'm considering and have any things to say - good or bad - I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
