    Nope, for once its NOT me whos buying it LOL....

    The g/f needs a new car and is having some trouble "narrowing down the list"...

    So, heres the info we have right now....

    Her current car that she loves

    2000 VW Cabrio Convertible in "Blurple" i think the color is called lol....
    Positives:
    "its cute"
    gets a lot of attention
    Is small and quick
    is a convertible

    Negatives:
    Is 2 door
    Has a tiny trunk
    is old and beat up

    Initial list of cars she likes:
    Mazda 3
    Toyota Solara
    Mazda 6
    Ford Edge

    She's undecided as to what she wants (or even the kind of vehcile she wants)

    I believe she really would like a car thats "Cute" and "fun" but has 4 doors.

    I think shes really leaning towards the Mazda 3 but shes been talking up the Ford Edge lately...

    Can I get some more suggestions for cars that might be a good fit for her? lol

    She would love having an SRT8 GC but its a little out of the price range for her lol...even that one and shes not letting me help

    I'd say 15k or less...or something she could get for a good monthly lease price

    I am trying to talk her into leasing a car and shes starting to warm up to it....

    the way she is with cars it just makes more sense to lease....

    You need to put some serious effort into this.

    Think about Ron's bobble head avatar
    Move yourself over to the passenger seat
    Change car to Cabrio convertible
    and going to meet Markus for lunch...
    How are you going to convince her that she needs to park around the block?

    Dont think it hasnt come up...but no LOL

    No on the Nitro, but the Compass has come up quite a few times...she likes it cause its "cute" and a 4x4....

    Everyone in her fam has a 5 speed but her (mom, dad, and both brothers)...she just doesnt want to drive a car with a manual tranny lol

    PSSSSSHHHHHHH SUCK IT

    tell her to get the Mazda 6

    its sporty, fun, cute, 4dr, trunk space, great in corners, and comes in auto or get a manual and show her.
