affordable cars

any of you guys in the market to buy a new car? what kind of cars would you look at?

the new kia forte starts at around $13,695 - what do you guys think?

From pictures the Forte looks like a nice little car and seems like a good price. Too small for me to even consider though since I need something to haul around a bike and camping gear.

I'm not in the market to buy a new car right now, but without hesitation I would get another Pontiac Vibe (however I like the old styling better). It is the perfect size for me (I call it my baby SUV :D ). It gets great gas milage, is fun and comfortable to drive...and it can haul stuff. ;)

Take care

It looks good but my car is only 2 years old right now ( a PT Cruiser ) and paid for, so I'm not looking to buy.
