The dust has settled mostly from my collision, the Insurance has paid off 3/4 of the value of the car and the gap claim is being filed. My old 2001 Rio had been restored to some what driving capacity and will be totally not wrecked looking when the new hood arrives next week. I have been cogitating my next auto.
Here is my short list in no specific order:
Kia Rio5 (mini mini wagon) aka Rio Cinco
Scion XA or XB (leaning to XB - I like odd)
Toyota Yaris
VW TDI Beetle
The Yaris and Beetle are pending my actually sitting inside them. I need enough legroom to allow my somewhat short leg to stretch out or my knee locks up. I had to trade off my Jeep Cherokee because the knee pain was horrendous.
I am not necessarily cheap but I don't see the need for big bucks being spent on a car new or used since it is a "use it up" consummable. My guitar and camera collections indicate I'm not cheap on durable goods. Status cars ain't necessarily my thing. One of my workmates keeps pushing me on a BMW or a Chrysler Charger or 300.
I am not putting rebranding of these cars by other companies (Rio-Accent) because they are similar and therefore would be considered especially if pricing is better. Any suggestions on these or any other's I have not necessarily listed? The Beetle is really at the upper limit of price tolerance so no suggestons of Lamborghinis or Silver Shadows
