I need to pick a daily driver car. Cause coming home from work, and being stuck in traffic for 2 hours is no fun, especially when driving manual. So im just getting a car that i can use as my daily driver, but it will be automatic. oh it cant be over 27,000 dollars btw. So, any suggestions?

If you want a BASIC commuter and want to spend the minimum the Echo with an auto is actually surprisingly liveable and can be had for like 13K. Plus it gets bitching gas mileage.

If you want to spend more the Rav 4 is decent and pretty nice cause it has teh cargo space hookup.

Used auto IS300

yea i would definitly get a nice USED car. Its your daily driver so it really doesnt have to be anything special, unless you have mad cash to spend. I would save all the extra cash and put it into your own special car

How bout a Golf TDI or Jetta TDI, they give excellent gas mileage.

I'd go for the Max

It's Nissan's nicest car and it's one fine ride ;) :burnout:

Lol, you got headers now too? Seems like only a few days ago you posted about your first mod being the K&N.

Nice choice, the new Camrys look nice and are probably very comfortable to drive.

a miata or a used mitata, convert owns but odn't be surprised if you get the miata have fun and want to trade it in for a stick and fall in love with it more than your celica. :D

nevermind just noticed you have a NA supra so you can't love it more than your celica since you dont' have a celica

I was going to suggest a Miata too. If it is just strictly a commuting car, why not get something that is good on gas, but enjoyable to drive. The Celica auto GT is good too - and unless you are carting more than 1 passenger, it is more useful being a hatchback than the Camry is as a sedan.
