My neighbor has had Corollas for many years. Puts a couple of hundred thousand miles on them and sells them. Highly reliable but boring.
I would avoid older VW's and Mazda's(yes I agree rust issues). Nissan Altima 2.5 has the same engine as our Xtrail. Reliable and a tad bit more fun to drive than a Toyota....
And when you have decided pics please..  |
Bad advise much easier to roll a vehicle with high center of gravity
