I currently drive a 2003 Mustang V6 automatic (yea...im sure I lost some of my viewers right there lol)

I just cracked 105k miles- not that much.
But I am getting slipping and engine lights and other garbage. Plus I live in michigan and that thing sucks in the snow.

Im looking for an everyday-er.

Currently looking at (all new models)
Fusion
Malibu
Cruze


I dont know anything about cars.
Which one is the best buy?
I do need to be able to pack a golf bag or two and a hockey bag or two. The trunk of the fusion is the only one Ive seen but its pretty dang big.

Which one would you go with?
Are there better buys for the same price range?
Buy or lease?

Of that list, i say the fusion...

I would personally get an AWD if you have bad winters, but even a FWD would be a vast improvement over your mustang.

if those are the only ones you are considering, I would go with the fusion


the cruze is a piece of shit



if I were buying a smaller car right now, It would probably be between a Mazda 3, a Nissan Altima or Acura TSX, Hyundai sonata, Honda accord,

honestly I would buy something non American.

unless they had a diesel motor option, which I think only Audi, VW, BMW and Mercedes have

It would be between the fusion or cruse for me. Im a chevy guy and they have been on their game with the cruze so I would have to go with that. Id either go the 14 Cruze diesel or 2013 Cruze Eco. Both get awesome mileage and have decent reviews as far as interior, repair, etc.

fusion or malibu, the cruze would be to small i think. get a mid sized sedan and you should have plenty of room
