So I'm in the market for a new car. New new. The used market is fucking stupid and apparently my almost 10 year old Honda is worth $15k trade-in.

My first thought was to stick with Honda, but they seem to have paired their trim levels down and now the base model comes with almost nothing and they don't have the options to add things. You have to go up a trim level. Even the mid trim is lacking features my current mid trim Honda has.

My next thought was Toyota. I was onboard until I read you can't do remote start unless you pay a monthly subscription. Not only is that fucking retarded, that's a deal breaker for me.

So I'm not sure where to look now. What are the Poalr suggestions?

Things I need in a new car: - reliability - good gas mileage - remote start and auto lock (crazy that this isn't standard these days) - Android Auto support

Things I'd like to have in a new car: - wireless android auto\phone charge - moon roof - heated seats - not ghey looking

I posted one too! Yay!

I ended up with a Ford Edge SEL 2016 ensuring that I got the AWD 6 cyl, 3.5L engine. Its family friendly, its AWD, the engine comes from the F150 side (no strange 2cyl turbo shit that breaks). Engine bay is decent sized/accessible, the wheels are all independent suspension, good crash ratings, and parts are domestic for the most part.

Edit: it was $15K with $3k down, borrowed the rest on kikes usury terms but that won't last long.
