I want to trade in my old car and want to buy a new one. I am confused which one to buy as I don't like to buy another car for at least 10 years. Please suggest me with your experience.

Buy toyota

What is your budget? I would go with Toyota or Honda. You can easily drive new Toyota or Honda for next 10 years without any issues. I have Camry Hybrid and I am loving it.

My budget is 20-25k.I am interested in Honda(Civic exl w/nav)  but mazda 5 miata hardtop caught my eye. It looks affordable too but I don't know pros and cons of these cars. I am not finding more options to get good car at good price. Look, fuel efficiency are my major concerns and definitely it should not go beyond my budget. 

bhustigre raicha bro! truck nai kinnnu parne ho ki?

being real..20-25k bhaneko big money ho..go for pre-owned nissan maxima or a 370z depends if u got a kid(maxima) or by yourself (z)....maxima is badass..or accord crossover or s2000 ... pani thikai cha jasto lagcha...on that mazda i would say no,,, and avoid toyota.....they may recall it anytime and had u with a ford focus....

Rather than Civic, I would go for CR-V.  It looks nice, inside and outside, and is quite a pleasure to drive.  Gas mileage is decent.  It ranks at the top in resale value.  And above all, it is very reliable.

Sorry: Did not see Miata, that means no expansion of family, nice two person car. If I were you and with that budget I will go with BMW.  Check this .

gaurab_100003,

Well for that Budget you can really get a good car even New ones Nissan Altima 2007-2008  Those years Models are best even Honda 2008 should easily fit under that budget i am almost in same condition might need to go for New car in that case i will either choose among honda or Nissan Altima 2-3yrs back models they are simple professional too .

The value of new car slides $2000-$3000 right after you take your car out from the dealers. I would suggest buying used car (3-4 years) and mileage around 20,000-30,000. It appears Honda or Toyota would be best deal in terms of maintenance. I myself is eyeing on Honda Accord 2008 or newer EX-L. But can't afford more than $18,000.

ipwn and nepalkolato,

Most Navigation equipped car are high in alert for vandalism. Depending upon your city and your parking status, you must consider it.
For Sports car , I liked the Celica too and you can have two more people in the rear so in case if you have to haul 3 or more people it will be extra benefit.  
Buying car is totally personal choice,  most Nepali prefer Japanese cars  , it is  my personal view. 0 mileage car with one hand and matured driving will last longer than anticipated unless it is killed by rust. Not all re-certified car has problems. Do you drive stick / manual? I drove 280K  or over and sold for 550 , wanted to buy back next day and offered 600, he kept it and told me will graduate with it.
Goodluck.

bhojpure01,

About civic, I would prefer SI 4 door with high performance tires, For fuel economy as well fun to drive is manual car,  comes with 2.0 engine will  feel better than 1.8 engine. Choice of color is reflects personality and nature, if I have choice I will go with darker but not black.
 Does it comes with 6 speed,  I will not choose triptonic or what ever they say.

Civic SI seems to have manual transmission only.. 

I think they have both, you will learn to drive manual car in 1 hour. Not a big deal. When you take off and change the shift you will feel the difference driving an automatic and manual car.
It is like driving a kinetic scooter and Honda ( Japanese) motarbike.

bhojpure01, As I said earlier in this thread that I like to drive manual car. But it's not only me so, I have to go for automatic one. Did you find Civic Si Automatic(5) anywhere? So far I know, Honda will never make any automatic SI's ( performance cars).
