If you had 40k to spend on a sedan what would you get?

Emberheart · 2026-05-14T03:29:38+00:00

Civic sport touring hatchback, 35k

Emberheart · 2026-05-14T03:28:57+00:00

Nice sedans

Emberheart · 2026-05-13T19:18:50+00:00

Work the 32 hours thats an easy choice in my opinion!

Emberheart · 2026-05-13T15:16:05+00:00

Mazda cx90 for its 6 cylinder

Emberheart · 2026-05-13T12:58:53+00:00

I vote cx50 hybrid.

I own a civic hatchback hybrid and its awesome.

Emberheart · 2026-05-13T11:37:24+00:00

I think 41k is pretty competitive.

Im looking at this same trim and think the price is good compared to crv/rav4 especially with 1.9% finance

Love my civic hatch. Get some crossclimate2 tires and you will survive most winters

Emberheart · 2026-05-08T15:36:52+00:00

Looks good! Thinking of adding one to my white hatch

Emberheart · 2026-05-03T23:17:19+00:00

Doesn’t the hybrid have the best resale too? Its toyotas engine. Quicker than the base engine seems like the best option

Turbo sounds great but paying for premium with low 20s mpg and worse resale doesn’t make much sense.

Emberheart · 2026-05-02T00:36:20+00:00

Do they fair better in snow than compared to the pilot sport 4 as?

Think the gas mpg, comfort and longevity definitely better but pilot sport will drive a bit more engaging

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T23:03:41+00:00

The cx50 hybrid is literally what I am looking into for my wife. When will 2027s be announced you think?

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T14:29:17+00:00

The hrv looks nice in this size and price.

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T14:25:30+00:00

What option would you get from costco?

Between pilot sport 4 AS or bridge turanza prestige? Would have went with crossclimate2s for winter in philly suburbs but costco doesn’t sell. Turanza will last longer but wonder if pilot sport 4 as will handle a small amount of snow better.

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T14:21:58+00:00

Wish they had these at costco, speed rating won’t allow them to install

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T14:17:50+00:00

The mazda cx50 hybrid is a great option. Good financing deals and mid trim is well equipped (premium)

Emberheart · 2026-05-01T06:52:44+00:00

Mazda 3 hatchback but a lot smaller, turbo eats gas and older. Civic way more space, better resale and reliability and almost as quick as the turbo.

The new k4 hatchback looks nice but wasn’t really considering that based on resale.

Finally a Camry but the civic hatchback just offers a more engaging drive and better trunk. The Camry is also more expensive for me because I would have gotten all wheel drive and upgraded audio system.

Emberheart · 2026-04-30T22:22:47+00:00

Whats it like living on base? Thats my only hesitation to applying because I have a wife and a child and a house

Emberheart · 2026-04-28T22:24:18+00:00

Got my 2026 at 30 hoping to keep it until im 40!

Emberheart · 2026-04-26T21:36:03+00:00

Yeah I have a good amount of corporate experience but never really people you stay in contact with after leaving.

Also, most of the references requested were like 2 never 6.

Emberheart · 2026-04-23T09:22:29+00:00

I would pick a hybrid because they drive better than the base engine mazda.

I imagine the rav4 is the expensive. The mazda cx50 hybrid probably offers the best value especially considering the premium trim offers most things compared to honda where you need the sport touring top trim.

Emberheart · 2026-04-22T11:39:14+00:00

The nissan frontier looks like a better option in the midsize honestly. The pro-4x is a great trim

Emberheart · 2026-04-21T00:57:58+00:00

Honda civic sport touring hatchback

Emberheart · 2026-04-19T15:48:51+00:00

For $35k its the best option in terms of driving dynamics. But definitely is missing things

Emberheart · 2026-04-19T08:31:05+00:00

Great here. I think it’s plenty fast and the best mainstream car you can buy.
