so the girlfriend is saving up to get another car, and I want to get a list together of some good reliable cars, preferably easy to work on too. She's looking to save $2000, something from the mid-late 90's.
Honda.
Pick the model and age that fits your needs and price range.
2 or 4 door
4 or 6 cyl
Foreign or domestic
i should get her to buy my neighbors ford focus svt
94 thru 97 4 door 4 cyl Honda Accord. Absolutely dead reliable. And, you can still buy all of the parts. Honda doesn't believe in "Not available" or "Discontinued". Plus, there are millions of them still on the road.
Any Cavalier with the 2.2 cast iron block and head. My wife drives one and this thing just goes. 200K plus and no oil burning issues or anything. This car has been so reliable for her it will be sad to see it go. Our friend gave it to us 4 years ago as he had bought it for a winter car. Stay away from the 2.4 Z24 models, stupid engine design. Water pump fails to oil.
