end of story!!!

the kid is 6'4'' which is kind of tall. I think he is looking for a midsize


the gti and Si have height adjustable seats. the Si has tilt and telescoping steering wheel. im 6 foot and i had PLENTY of head and leg room. enough for a 6'7" person
 
umm did he say what he wanted in a car? speed, comfort, good mpg, luxury, 4 doors, 2 doors, new, used, truck, car??? he needs to know at least what he wants and let us know. everyone is just going to say what car they own or wanted to own if you just say any car.

If I were your friend I'd get a Prius or buy a corolla/civic/XA/XB and get a motorcycle....Starter Ninja's get crazy MPG along with Honda Rebel's etc.... If he doesn't give two craps about gas prices or the environment FRJ.....

why not have a fun car (used mustang GT) and the bike to offset the gas? plus used priuses have often been selling OVER MSRP due to such high demand (damn retards + media)

Yeah good point....If I went the fun route I'd probably get the bike and an International Scout fixed up or that year of bronco that looks similar (my brain is mush right now).....that would be fun to me.....not into fast cars much....

Either way you drive alot having at least one MPG mobile is a great idea....
 
06 Camry - Well within budget and the majority of the depreceiation is done for the first few years. He can get all the extras he wants and and have LOTS of life in the car ( I had a 93 with 280K that ran smooth as silk until november when it got ran over by an Explorer)
 
He'll have no problem with the hight in an SUV and I say the new Nitro - he'll like the looks plus you can sell it to his parents as being safer because it'll do better than the sports cars in the weather, crash tests, etc... But the dodge is something that a 25 year old guy would really like plus its only like $20,000 so he could have money to spare to trick it out and customize it. Tell him to check out it's youtube page: Nitro He'll be convinced
