I was thinking to choose a Ford Focus ZX3, A Honda Civic EX, a Nissan Sentra, fully loaded, (what SE?), or a Toyota Corolla S. ABS, Dual Air, all the goodies, etc. The honda and Toyota get great milage which appeal to a tree hugger. Which would you give as a present. Check back later. Thanks

Depends on the personality... Most GIRLS between the ages of 18-21 would love the styling of the Focus ZX3, and I can't blame them, it is a sharp looking hatchback. On the other hand, if she is older, I think that a Sentra, or the Civic would be a better choice. And another thing, if you think that she would be having this car for a LONG time, then you gotta go with the Civic for reliability...

Just my $.02

Beast, it may surprise you, but over the last 10 years, the Sentra has had a better reliability record than the Corolla or the Civic.

I'd say the Sentra, personally. My girlfriend sure likes driving mine. :) But what about the Golf? For some reason, most females I know really like VWs.

The VW Jeta is also a nice car for girls. They seem to like it a lot and it gets almost 40 mpg. Not quite as much as the Golf, but still pretty good.

Smooth, I doubt the Sentra is more reliable over 100K miles than the Civic... I know that she probably wouldn't be driving the vehicle this long, but I am just saying...

Every girl has different tastes, but out of the ones you listed, I would prefer the civic or the sentra. I dont like the focus at all.

from the way girls drive... get something that can be repaired easy
:D
j/k

VW's are usually a huge hit, most of my female friends are obsessed with them. if she's short probably an SUV, short females tend to like driving high cars.

Nice gift :) Just keep it registered under your name until you're sure she isn't gonna take off in 6 months with a new car!

<< what about a saturn coupe >>


Ahhhh.. a estrogen dispenser with 4 wheels...

I'd say Sentra or Corolla. I doubt shes going to be beating the hell out of it and if I had to choose between those 2, I'd go with the Sentra. :)

Um, not listed, but Honda Accord. More room than a civic, not much more cost.. and a lot damn nicer.

Otherwise, my two picks are a Chrysler 300m or a Benz E class :D
