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 gave up on VW. My wife had a new-to-us deiseal jetta A major wiring harness had a flaw and would get in a spot where it would rub and break some wires and as a result the break lights and cruse control would no longer work. It took hours to find any info on that in a obscure forum post.

I had to fix it TWICE before the whole buyback program thing happened. All in all it worked out for us because they bought it at the Sell price, not what we paid for it (it was used). She bought a toyota and has been driving toyota only ever sense.

I had a VR6 jetta that was fun to drive but the coil packs would fail all the damn time. It had a few other problems too but it was mostly a good car. I kind of miss it.

Yea i get that. The new stuff seems far better. My Mk7 Golf R is great and my wife's Atlas has also been trouble free.
