Sister is looking to get rid of her 2001 Golf TDI, it's served her well but it's time for something new. I like the 2016 Jetta with the 1.4T, but I'd be stupid if I didn't tell her to look at other options in this price range. The Jetta is pretty basic (steel wheels, lol) and probably not many creature comforts. I'm thinking perhaps something Korean (KIA, Hyundia) in the same price range would get her a lot more bang for the buck..
Thoughts?

A few weeks ago you could get a 2015 Elantra for an insane price. They had something like $5k off of them.
That's the price they should be at lol

Judging by the amount on the road, we don't have a problem selling cars

I personally think she should get a used Escape or something (4x4, Ecoboost, enough room for the kid, etc).

^ new Hyundai hater. Does it mean you hate Honda less? It will make Screamin' happy lmao
Not hating on Hyundai. Just stating the obvious lol. They offer a lot of features, but performance is lacking for the most part. Not just talking about hp, but fuel efficiency as well.

For around 15K or just over. You can get into an EX rental mazda 3 with unlimited km warranty for I think 3 years. NEVER buy a former daily rental no matter how cheap the car is. I used to work at a car rental place, trust me you don't want to own one.

Toyota reliability = almost no depreciation. Probably because $1700 for auto tranny and $4500 for engine.

You ever put a kid in a SUV vs a car? Way easier with something higher off the ground. We'll see, I hope she goes used with factory warranty, I think she'll get more vehicle for her $$$.
