I have decided to pump the brakes on a new car. I am going to try and hold out for a few months. I am waiting until my second bonus check of the year so I can put more down and get something better. Should be around June/July.
Looking to get a new car - any recommendations

Do her friends understand that you're a grown man and don't need their or her permission to buy a vehicle?
What are the collective thoughts on the Nissan Maxima? I was behind one today and thought it looked pretty good for a sedan, all things considered. Looked like it had some kind of clear top.
Of course I also saw an Audi TT today I really liked.

The Audi TT is fun to drive.What are the collective thoughts on the Nissan Maxima? I was behind one today and thought it looked pretty good for a sedan, all things considered. Looked like it had some kind of clear top.

Beautiful dzyn too! Something you'd expect to see a King drive.....:wink:
I like the older ones, like this 2000 model:
They are really great, but a ridiculous car for me to just drive just to work. I will most likely end up with a 3 series BMW like I always knew I would.Beautiful dzyn too! Something you'd expect to see a King drive.....:wink:

You know our Forester has one and I was prepared to hate it, but it's not been bad at all, except for my tendency, when I switch to it from the Taco, like I had to yesterday, to scratch off inadvertently. I was around and learning to drive when GM pioneered it. They had it only on some models. The early '50s Oldsmobiles, for example, had a standard auto transmission. OTOH, my BIL had a '51 Chevy with what they called "PowerGlide." We called it "PowerSlide." It was awful. It seemed like it had to rev to 2500 before the car moved.
I have a cvt in my Toyota and like it ok. Nissan has had a load of problems with theirs. My daughter just a week ago had to have hers replaced in her 2015 Rogue, unfortunately out of warranty.You know our Forester has one and I was prepared to hate it, but it's not been bad at all, except for my tendency, when I switch to it from the Taco, like I had to yesterday, to scratch off inadvertently.

There must have been something wrong with your BIL's powerglide's torque converter. It was a tough tranny and is still used today in many dragsters. Its drawback wasn't slippage but that it only has only 2 speeds.
May be. That one was so bad we used to make jokes about it. I hardly notice the CVT in the Subaru...
I will be holding off even longer than I thought now. Just did my taxes and it was not good news.
Forgot to stipulate - get a manual transmission!
Sorry to hear but while you are waiting here's a decent webpage that might help, assuming you are open to a sports car that is:

I just finally got my new car - a Nissan Rogue.
Sales guy was splendid, and given my previous bad experiences, I praised him to the heavens to his manager.
