Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural? Support NORML  |

I voted for the Altima.
When I was selling cars at Subaru (just over a year ago), the service for the Volvo dealership across the street was always packed. They actually sent half the cars down the street to Toyota since they didn't have enough bays to work on the cars. That; and horror stories I've heard have turned me away from Volvo. The VW is nice, but I consider it more of a young person's car. See if the guy at Nissan will work on the price. Explain that you don't really want/need nav., so why should you pay for it.

They all suck dude. Well, maybe not so much the Jetta, but I wouldn't want my Mom driving one. Plus we need to know what kind of driver your Mom is and what she's looking for in a car.
If it were my Mom, she just wants cheap-ish, reliable, safe transportation that's somewhat nice. And she's way cheap so there's no way she'd spend 30+ on what she'd refer to as just a car. I'd make her get a Honda Accord and be done with it. Because I def wouldn't want to hear her bitching each time the VW was in the shop. Or about how small the trunk/backseat of the S40 was. Or about how horribly the interior of the Altima was holding up. How about an IS250?  |

i say get the tank (volvo). altimas are for middle aged men and the VW is for people who need the safety of crashing and not dying because they suck at driving

VW has awful reliability. A friend of mine just bought a new jetta last year and has had a million problems with it. I believe her car doesnt even have 20k miles on it...
She is selling the car as we speak because of the problems she has had... |

Congrats to your mom on her new car. I was going to suggest a Lexus RX SUV. They are a good "mom car," and hold up extremely well. A little more expensive than she's looking for, though. Maybe a Honda Pilot. Mitsubishi Outlander sounds just fine, too.
For "mom cars," I think reliable, comfortable, and with some room. VW Jetta and S40 look nice, IMO, but are too small and unreliable for a mom.

if she wants an s40 save her a lot of money and get the mazda3. The altima is my choice.
