Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Don't know much about cars. Maybe someone can help me out a bit. Getting a new car soon (have been saving up for years) anyway, I either want to get a 2015 VW jetta, or a 2015 Camry. What would you guys suggest?

 

 

EDIT: Also open for other suggestions!

I wouldn't go for the new Jettas. Theyre nothing like the ones in Europe, which are amazing. It's a completely different car here (except the Sportwagen). Not nearly as good. Same with the Passat. They've been too Americanized

 

Why have you narrowed it to the Jetta and Camry?

Not really narrowed down i guess. Just when it comes to cars I know nothing. I'm more of a computer guy. That's why I'm here in this thread, for advice i guess. Also open to suggestions :)

If this post helped you, mark it as solved and give it a like - Always like seeing when someones issue has been solved. :)

Nah, you can get a new one decently cheap and an older one really cheap.

Not sure really, Some people suggested to me that i should look at VW, ever sense then i have really liked the jetta. Then just recently someone had told me to go with a Camry, because they are very reliable and last a very long time.

Perhaps look at the Focus as well. It's going to be a bit cheaper than the Jetta or Camry. Its a nice little car, and I have heard very few complaints about them either.

 

If you want something a bit larger there is the Fusion, which I think is the best looking 4 door sedan on the market right now at any price.

I was thinking about buying a new car, is this a good deal? it is a 2012 Dodge Charger 5.7L, V8 Auto Tans, Sat Nav, Blutooth, and they want 9k for it.

hmmm, Well, Good Mpg that's for sure, fun to drive. Something that will last me a long time, and still hold value.

How about a diesel BMW 3-series? I have no idea about American car market

Ask to take it on a test drive and run it through the gears, 9k seems too low for it.

Not to mention all the money spent having it in the shop for repairs.
