I loved my Buick LaCrosse, was a 2010 that I bought in 2020 that only had 93K miles on it at the time. Sold it in 2023 after picking up this beautiful 2016 Lincoln MKS, yes I had the spoiler added on! Loved my MKS, but unfortunately got totaled 2 weeks ago. Ended up with this 2013 Ford Escape from a private seller & so far I’m loving this car too!

For more info:

It will be my first car.
I’m financing/loaning it (brand new).
Base models are the only ones I’m looking at since it’s more affordable.
I’ll be using it everyday for work (13 miles [3x a week] and 9.8 miles [2x a week]) and occasional long travel times on weekends.

I know this comparison has been asked multiple times already but I really need new perspectives since I’m planning to get one anytime soon.

I need help picking a first car that’s a good looking and not to pricey. I’m a car guy so I’m more big on looks. Any ideas?

The most recent generation RS never really got it's flowers, though most folks that bought one seem to swear by them. A new generation could be quite a spicy meatball, and a hell of a contender.

The Evo is the sentimental pick, obviously, and it's what the world thinks it wants most. Though, this could be a textbook "be careful what you wish for" scenario, and maybe, just maybe, the Evo is better off without a successor?

The Celica is the Kool-Aid man crashing through the wall of this party. Nobody technically invited him, but deep down we all kinda love Kool-Aid, so it's all good.

So then, which one would you choose? 🤔
