My parents are looking for a new car. We want something dependable and fun to drive. My parents like the Accord and Camry. Are there any other cars under 25k that deliver comfort and performance?

Does it have to be new?

I just recently bought a 2000 BMW 323Ci that has low miles, is in pristine condition, and is just plain awesome. Something to consider.

Yeah it has to be new, my parents dont want to worry about a car. Being new, it has a warranty...

That's a good consideration. To counter you, though, I got mine as a certified used car from a BMW dealer so it has warranty good through April of next year, I believe. That's over a year after I bought the car so that's not too shabby, I don't think. Plus, you can always get an extended warranty from an outside company for fairly cheap. Places like Warranty Gold have been doing that for a long time. I don't want to pointlessly argue about this if they're set on a new car but, as I said, the used market can offer a really good deal on a really good car.

Subaru makes good cars under $25 grand, too. You could look at them.

Might want to look at the altima.
I would take an Accord and Camry any day over an Altima.
I'd almost have to agree with you, since both the camry and accord are supposed to handle better, but I just like the looks of the Altima.
