Leasing a new car for my gf, any opinions?

[shu5892001]

Right now we are thinking of, Rabbit, Cooper, Fit, and Versa. Any opinions? or recommendation of other cars?


Thanks

can't go wrong with VW! I'd say go with the Rabbit.... Coopers are $$ (expensive) but decent cars not sure how they handle in the winter..


Friend of mine hated his Fit and traded it in for a civic. I test drove a Versa .... loved the room inside, but wasn't a huge fan of the lack of power and exterior design.

There is a girl in town (kingston) that drives one dropped with 18s on it.. colour of the car is white... wow the car is CLEAAAAN.... nice cars ... only downside.. parts are more (from what I've heard)

Hate to say it... Rabbit is a great deal.

drive to sku everyday commute from aurora to ut scar/toronto, so pretty long drives, and we are both short asians... lol

do you really need the versa than? (if you don't have kids ... I'd kick the versa off your list) The fit is nice... I'm 6'4" AND found it smaller inside than the mazda3. The cooper would be an awesome addition for you both... but you may end up stealing it once and a while (they are fun as hell to drive ) ... best thing is reviews and lots of test drives.... also compare prices/options and truely look what your wanting. Good luck with finding something and post up lots of pics when you do make the jump

which dealer did u go to?

[Dreamliner]

20 year old couple leasing cars? At that age things are still not final, I'd be careful about these types of decisions. Buy her a used car to start maybe?
