My wife is taking a larger role in picking our next car because the perfect Corolla I picked is "too loud". Here are are bulletpoints:
I have a consumer reports subscription, but they unfortunately don't have any way to filter/sort used cars by Owner Satisfaction (a roll-up that includes comfort and noise) so I have to pick the car before I can check the noise level. Hopefully you all can throw out some options to check out.

There is a lot of road noise when you're driving on the highway and inside the car. It makes sense to me because Consumer Reports only ever dings Toyotas for having too much road noise/not a smooth enough ride, but it is entirely possible that her expectations are just way too high. Is a used luxury car going to be a maintenance/maintenance-cost nightmare? I could be open to it if it is a manageable cost. I forgot to mention that electric/hybrid features (especially regenerative braking) would be a really huge nice-to-have but maybe I'm dreaming too big for the current used car market. Edit to add more car facts: The Loud Corolla is a 2018 Toyota Corolla LE CVT Corla Plankun fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Aug 6, 2021 |

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:consider going Full This is the first I've heard of it but this looks good as hell. Is it worth it to buy 3rd-party stuff (e.g. canoe racks and dashcams, etc) at time-of-purchase? It seems like they could either be subsidized or marked-up-extra-high depending on how mean Ford is to its customers and I don't know enough about how much this stuff usually costs to make a call about it.

Yeah, it is some random sales guy at a dealership responding to a HRV I picked out and want ordered. I feel like he's laying the groundwork for really racking up the dollars on nonsense dealership fees. Seller's markets are tough. I'm getting worried about how far the actual price of this car is going to stray from the sticker.

Queen Victorian posted:a mid 90's Buick Roadmaster wagon My father-in-law had a mid 90s Buick that we would borrow from time to time and I'll be damned if it wasn't one of the nicest cars I've ever ridden in (including my rich tech bro coworkers' brand new Lexuses). Never would have set foot in it on my own but I really enjoyed it once I was obliged to by circumstance. They're good cars! Nice cushy ride with an unexpectedly grunty engine.

Mustache Ride posted:I vote you get this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3147177368885942/ I wish these were loving legal in Austin! Kei Trucks are absolutely perfect for my needs (carrying random stuff out to the lake/woods/trails and commuting), but last I checked they're completely illegal to drive on roads, regardless of speed limit.

Motronic posted:80% of new cars that gave been sold in the last month or two (I forget the exact numbers but I saw them last week) are being sold for above MSRP. This is absolutely true. I didn't sound like enough of a sucker while trying to buy a Honda last year and they ghosted me. It's a seller''s market right now.

Was it this thread where people were talking about custom fit window-shades all around a car? Was it Weathertech or some other brand that made ones that fit really well?

Can you elaborate on the HR-V's flaws? I almost bought one of those last year but then my father in law gave me a car after I spent about 4 months on the waitlist. What kind of bullet did I dodge?
