Help me pick out a car for my girl

[Hahahaha]

My girl drives over 20K miles a year and is pushing a 10 year old Elantra POS. We are looking at a new car and I'm looking for suggestions.

Looking for high MPG, leather interior, cheap maintenance and long term reliability. Rest is pretty whatever. My guess is buying new would seem to be a huge waste of money due to mileage and depreciation.

Looking at preowned Altimas (2013), Optima, Prius and Mazda 3. Not looking to pay more than 22K

Which way would you lean?

Honda Cr-Z

great gas mileage, reliability, sporty, low miles (most still come with factory warranty).

only downside is it's a 2-seater.

 

[Hahahaha]

I think she prefers 4 doors. How do you feel with new vs preowned with the miles that will be put on it?

pre-owned is the only way to go imo, makes no sense in buying a new car unless there's a major body revamp or you got money to piss away.

nowadays 15k to 20k miles a year is about average. so that shouldn't be an issue.

I like the 2006-2008 acura tsx. 4 cylinder, "luxury" interior, and reliable.

 

[Slystallion]

2008ish Lincoln MKX

comfy affordable and luxurious

 

[Hahahaha]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to look through them and see. The MPG on some of these is low than what she currently has so don't think they are an option.

How does everyone feel about after market leather upgrades?
