Good grief, let's get to one style, SUV or sedan or sports car? I would go with the Honda Accord.

I had a 2008 Accord for a year (it got totaled, and saved my mom's life) and a 2011 Accord since then (14 months). So I have a little over two years experience with that generation of Accord (2008-2012) and I can honestly say that they are very well built, drive very well with great handling, braking, and acceleration, and are very comfortable. An all-around awesome car, and probably the best thing you can get at its price.

One of my friends has a civic and loves it, does a lot of highway driving and gets 38MPG.

I'd rank Mazda number one strictly for the fun to drive. At my age, that's all that matters.

The Civic has an older design and isn't as roomy or safe as the Accord. It's a good car, but if you can afford the Accord, get it.

I've been in most of the 9 cars on that list. 8, I think. All but the Edge.

Here's me the day my 2011 Accord was brought home, May 4, 2013:

Good looking car wawa. That's top of the line. You did good.

But this OP doesn't want a safe and sound car. He thinks its too boring and dull.

This is his 10th thread about which car to buy.. He s still lost and confused. But doesn't want to listen.

Of course that's his prerogative.. But OP keep going around in circle.

I stopped giving advice. Last advice I gave was. Go ahead and buy an Audi or VW or heck. For 15k. Get a used range rover.

He ll really be cool and it'll keep his heart beating..

Ford 15K he could buy a 2003-2007 F350 Super Duty FX4 4x4 with a 6.8 liter triton V-10

He will be pretty much normal where I live where most people use PU trucks for work or hauling 5th wheels and Horse trailers..

But unlike a Range Rover he could then buy a massive off-shore power boat or a 5th wheel and have some adventure and fun during summer.

Also help friend family move furniture and take stuff to the dump or haul building materials and supplies and in winter he plow his driveway and his neighbours/friends driveway(s) in winter with a snowplows attachment
