Help With a Car for My Daughter

**Red*Lion** · 03-25-21, 16:36

My oldest Daughter will turn 16 in a couple of months and I am looking to buy her a solid used car. I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that is my usual work driver and it has been fantastic. I am looking at used Corollas, but wanted to see what others had to say about other brands and models? Looking for a small car that gets good gas mileage that will be reliable. Honda civic? Hyundai? Others?
Any guidance and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Give her yours and find an upgrade for yourself.

Nah, mine has 150,000 miles on it and I would like hers to have half that. I take care of my corolla pretty well and expect to get another 100,000 more miles out of it at least.

One of our daughters drove an ‘07 Honda Civic for 13 years and the other drove an ‘08 Nissan Altima for 12 years. Both were good cars with few issues. They now drive a Toyota Rav4 and a Toyota 4 Runner.

Sounds like both were reliable then?

Yes they were. The Nissan paint didn’t hold up as well but it may have been due to the black color showing imperfections.

My daughters only drive Hondas. One a 2002 accord, which is mechanically perfect, and one a 2012 Civic, which is stellar. You CANNOT go wrong with a honda.

The only other car I would recommend is a toyota camry.

Thanks, I have been perusing civics on-line.
