If there was ever a bulletproof Honda, it would be the 1st gen Pilot or Ridgeline from 2005-2013. You can’t even get them to rust too much without being straight up negligent.

He needs something reliable. Any Chrysler product after 1997 doesn’t fit that bill.

A 2007-2009 Acura MDX would be the perfect purchase for 10k. You can find one with reasonable mileage, you can do most of the maintenance in your garage and they are virtually bulletproof as long as you change the fluids when you have to. If you don’t want to deal with premium gas prices, you can get a 2006-2009 Honda…

Just get them a 90s Civic hatch and everyone will be happy.

They’re working on a midsized 3 row SUV to take on the MDX, Q7 and X5.

I’d have a hard time choosing now, especially when you consider the value that most Buicks give you for the money.

Yeah, but options tho.

Buy a Civic Sport Hatchback and be happy with life. You can always buy a Hondata ECU tune and coilovers in the future if you want more fun. Its got a nice interior, nice cargo space, stellar fuel economy and its probably gonna be more reliable than a VW GTi in the long term and cheaper to maintain which is very…

Dude, thats how the rest of us manage to get nice cars without taking a loan out on our houses. Anybody who had 80k sitting around for a Camaro, could take the hit for the rest of us.

They’re lightweight, give good feedback through the chassis and and carry momentum through corners nicely with a good suspension set up. There is a reason why track rats love them so much.

Its called a Hilux SURF for a reason.

Give the base model the Quadrifoglio V6 or 392 hemi with an Alfa designed interior and a Targa option. I’d sell several organs to put a down payment on one.

Nothing will beat an old Civic in terms of bang for the buck fun. Especially since clean NA MX-5 and S-Chassis cars are demanding upwards of $9000 in most regions. For under 6 grand, you can have a legitimate track car that can keep up with anything other than another Civic with more money invested into it. The best…

If I were to buy an 80's money pit, I’d rather get a Porsche 924 or 944 and at least make some money back on resale before i went bankrupt on parts cars and keeping a specialist mechanic on retainer.

Fake/non-functional hood scoops and vents.

So as gas prices are currently rising, they decide to dump their economy hatchbacks? I understand killing the Taurus and C-Max but the new Focus would sell like hot cakes among loyalists and students like myself. I just hope the ST manages to squeeze through the bars (it probably won’t, I know). At least we have the…

No one buys a civic for looks, dummy. They buy them for the driving dynamics and drivetrains.

At least you didn’t buy an STi for sticker.

Have you seen some of the Tacos and 4Runners for sale right now? Most of them are beat to shit and you’ll still have to take out a line of credit to get one.

Everything a Wrangler does, a Tacoma does without breaking and also while having a Bed, A/C, and the ability to drive on a highway without trying to kill you. (Unless the owner is a doofus who would hook a winch to the rear axle) Did I mention that they both cost around the same?
