This is in Europe and we don't have many Acuras unfortunately, so they are really hard to find.
Lets say you get to choose a Honda that can comfortably go at this speed for 4-5 hours? What Honda are you choosing - Civic Type R, Accord, HRV, ZRV, CRV or something else. Must be a model between 2015 and 2025.
Lets say you get to choose a Lexus that can comfortably go at this speed for 4-5 hours? What are you choosing NX, IS, UX, GS or something else. Must be a model between 2015 and 2025.
Lets say you get to choose a Mazda that can comfortably go at this speed for 4-5 hours? What are you choosing 6e,CX-60, CX-5, 3 or something else. Must be a model between 2020 and 2025.
Would you say its is considered a sporty vehicle similar to a couple BMW or Audi.
Soon turned 30. Life is somewhat good - nice job (and tutoring in a college on the side), almost paid off a small apartment, work out and eat right thus in shape, have some although not much time and money to travel even if it is locally.
But then there is the acceptance I am single and living alone. And every time I think about it I understand that finding someone that is right for me and living with them is work and I wonder is it worth the effort. Many say it is, but they also say you have to be content single to find someone and now when I finally am I wonder should I change it, should I go through the 7 layers of dating and then through a 1000 more? Maybe this is the way of thinking that is amoral but why should I care? I haven't been in love in 10 years it is very likely I never ever will have butterflies in my stomach. But then I love my life so much. Why change anything?
As a 30 years old man I am baffled by how many men my age stop caring for themselves and let themselves go.
Ideally a similar sized SUV that can go through snow and hilly regions and doesn't break often even if it is 5-10 years old. Looking for a 2020 or later model and plan to keep it.
I know about the CX-60 being well made as it is manufactured in Japan but I think I looked some videos where it had 23mpg fuel economy. Lexus is too expensive. Maybe a Skoda?
Or should I go for a full sized sedan and hope I don't get stuck in the snow.
Everywhere when people talk efficiently they talk about the Corolla or Civic. What about the 3 hatch? Most of the information I get online is 30-35 mpg while the Corolla and Civic get 40-45 mpg?
Would you say the 2.0L is truly less efficient that the other two and why?
What is your experience in the city and on the highway?
Want to upgrade the Micra. Don't need a big car as I will be by myself in it and I want fuel efficiency. I know diesels are more efficient but because I am in EU and there are restrictions and because I heard it is not good to leave diesels not driven for weeks on end (which I will do). I want a petrol.
I will drive very little (3000miles/5000km) per yer probably 70%+ on the highway. Would you say an old A3 is a good choice or will it be too expensive to maintain. Here in Europe there are a lot of Golfs and Skodas on the streets so maybe there will be parts available.
In EU, 30 years old. Basically I live on rent paying 30% for rent spending 30% for expenses during the month and saving 40%. The issue is my rent goes up roughly 10% per year (usually my landlord gets it up by 20ish% every 2 years which is the avearge rent growth in the city). I am 30 and can get a 30 year loan for flat similar in size to what I am renting now. The issue is my salary goes up roughly 10% per 2 years and the rent will slowly become a bigger part of my salary. The issue is the pay of the mortgage plus interest at the beginning will be like 50-60% of my income in the first few years until my salary increases. So is now the right time or do I wait to potentially get a relationship/get married to share the downpayment with someone.
Want to buy a car bigger than my Micra. I am 30 and ideally a car that is second hand will do as I won't drive it much. I live in Europe so public transport is ok and I will drive it 3-5 times in the city center and probably once for 4-5 hours on the highway. Between the CX-5 and NX300h as I want reliability even if I buy from 2019-2021. The issue is I can get 60,000 miles of both by the Lexus costing 30% more. Plan to do no more than 5000 miles an year and keep it at least 7 years.
Now the lexuses are a little bit more expensive 30% or 30,000 euros and I can get a CX-5 takumi for around 22,000 euros. So, I wonder can the Mazda match drive comfort at 70mph. Also, I am a little paranoid on crashing and although the usual advice is get a sedan to avoid the crash the 3 and 6 are sold much here sland if they are they get sold at very high miles. So, my question is will the Mazda be more expensive to maintain and is the 30% worth it. Also I like that mazda being short and easier to park then again the Lexus is a hybrid and it will be cheaper for fuel in the city but will it make a significant difference at only 5000 miles per year.
I don't care for luxury that much or quiet on the road so if that is the only thing going for the lexus I will go for the mazda the only reason I will go for the lexus is if proves to be cheaper to maintain/repair to offset that added price.
Want to buy a small hatch/sedan that is hybrid as in the EU there are restrictions in the city centre. Lexus is too expensive and I want something different than a Toyota (i.e more responsive and a little more powerful). But the reliability of the Toyota hybrid set up is legendary. What other manufacturers can match it?
