係美國買車一問!!

本人剛買咗部smart for two佢係benz廠出嘅mini car ,架車好實淨省油
(特別依家D油咁鬼貴)我平時囉反工放工出街兩個星期多D先至加油,
estimate 35 mpg. 新車只不過係16000.架車ス形又夠好開(handling)
同有mecedes benz設計嘅安全,架車夠細好易泊車啱你係新牌
相信呢部車啱你要求.

Your license is the key factor now.

The good thing is you have a good budget. Bad is your driving record. Regardless what kind of cars you buy, your premium will be sky high anyway.

Since new drivers are usually magnet to accidents, buying a used car will be better in your case.

Anyhow, I have found the best in gas, cost non-Japanese cars.

And it is Hyundai (Korea)...

Most cars are within your budget range. You can check that out.

If under 10K~15K brand new, only US car you can select. If you don't like Japs' steel chasis)
Over 20K ~25K recommend to try Audi A3. Fuel saving.
(you never believe. ~<10L per 100 km / 1 gal per 22~24 miles Base on multi-tronic transmission, if manual, more save)
More fun, can modify computer (increase power performance), engine, suspension, ... in future when you have spare buds.

German technique, good chasis, cornering, ....
Funs you need to experience & explore by yourself.
The point is you need to look for appropriate dealers in your area/country.

日本車比較慳油同舒適,而美國牛出名大食,韓國車你唔會想,只有歐州車啦.但兩萬零要買部全新,就無咩幾款車可選,樓上 001 都答咗你.
新牌仔或者買部二手BMW 3系車操吓,車身幾硬淨,同個樣都唔差(個人意見).希望對你有少少幫助.

朋友，美國車無人敢買，日本車你又唔要，咁即係要歐洲車啦，兩萬五樓下，無咩選擇喎 。
兩萬五左右：
Volvo C30
Volkswagen GTI
兩萬左右 ：
Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / Bettle

其實唯一附合晒你所有要求的，是 Mini Cooper。不過個款就見人見智。通常 d 人一係好鐘意，一係好唔鍾意，兩個極端。
如果你覺得 MINI 唔太細，咁佢會係最佳選擇。底價萬八，加呢加路，兩萬五應可出倒門口。 就算 Mini-S (Turbo 板），只要你唔加太多其它野，呢個價位都有得諗。

去 Edmunds.com 度睇睇啦，資料好齊架 ！
