    Help me choose a car
    So I am having problems selecting a car to buy that my wife and I both like. Here are the criteria. Under 25K, heated seats, sunroof, and it has to look cool. Her choices are used Mini Cooper, used BMW 328i, or new Scion IQ. I like the new Mustang v6 Premium. Can you recommend something we might both like?

              This is the Scion FR-S just a tad over 25k or listed as such, tell 'em you know Brock Landers, Papertrail, and Yisman they will cut you a deal.

              With that though I honestly don't know about Scion in terms of reliability, It's a Toyota product, I think but no experience with them other than they don't seem to hold their value.

                This would never sell here. Does it fall apart, too?

                  Looks dope, but anything like that around here is going to have a ton of miles on it.

                      I was considering this one, and Im going back and forth between the FRS and the mustang. I think price is the issue. I have the ford x plan and they take another 1000 off for Costco membership.

                                          Valid concern, as for value, depends on if robzilla and the wife trades in the cars every 3-4 years or rides 'em till the wheels fall off.

                                          Rob, may also want to look into any rebates that maybe available.

Under 25K, heated seats, sunroof, and it has to look cool. Her choices are used Mini Cooper, used BMW 328i, or new Scion IQ. I like the new Mustang v6 Premium. Can you recommend something we might both like?
                                                                Those choices are all over the map. Need to narrow to one class and go from there.
