if you were forced to chosse a tracker, 95 jetta or escort, what would your choice of hell be?
crap vs more crap with a side of double crap
Obviously I'm not going for looks here, just something in a 20 mile radius of this shit hole town thats under 5k with relitavly low milage. With the hopes and prayers of reliability. And by tomorrow. This is why my selection does ever so suck. So what would the opinions of the masses be. So far I've got a couple friends telling me jetta, one for escort, but I hate fords and my parents for the tracker as it has the lowest milage on it.

fords are pants imo.. and wouldn't go with one of them
that jeep/tracker i've never heard of but looks pretty slinky, cannot comment..
best bet go for jetta in my opinion
I agree - VW Jetta is probably the best although '95 is as old as you'd want to go. That last Escort looks suspiciously cheap too.
back in high school, this guy drove a purple one and thats how he got his nickname "Barbie" from his Barbie tracker!!
I've found a neon and a saturn, but I've heard they are both shit. True?
Don't know what a Saturn is. Ford?
I wouldn't get a neon (look Dodge up in the dictionary and it says "to avoid" )
I've heard alot of Hondas get good gas mileage and last a way long time. My gramma is extremely wealthy but refuses to give up her beaten up Honda Accord. Its really old but still runs great. Has over 200,000 miles on it...
before you buy a car, go on the websites like bluebook.com where they say the actual value of the car. so do car searching and write down what they are asking $$,how many miles on the car, if its a 4 cylinder or V6 or V8, stuff like that. When we bought my car (which was orginally my brothers) the dealers we went to before were scary. Be careful to be manipulated if you go at the end of the day because they will do anything to have you take the car home that night.
Hondas are good :yes:. And Nissans, Mitsubishis and Toyotas.
Nor is the Escort, but Fords should be cheap to run.
The dinky 4x4 could be useful if you suffer from bad Winters, but the maintenance and parts could cost more. I'd be tempted by a 4x4, but on looks alone - not that one.
Reliability wise, theoreticly the Fords & VW should be the best for reliability. You should find plenty of local specialists in both, and parts specialists that offer good prices too (this can make a big difference in the affordability of VW's).
If it were my money, just on prefference, I'd go for the Jetta.
Escorts was pulled ages ago..Stopped making them at the MkIIIIII I think..
:yes: it seems the best car.
Well anyway.. how can you post the jetta as more crap eh? it's a good car.. i wouldn't mind to have any of them as my first car
ha. I'd rather jump infront of one naked than take one. Public transportation is for... well its just wrong. Anyways, for those who do not care, I got a 01 Chevy metro. Its cute and it runs. Cant ask for more than that
