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

20K? The 3 -5 YEAR OLD USED ones are north of 70K in the southwest. Granted they are 2500 cummins but still ..

Yeah, that's why I'm not complaining about the price. 100k is a lot of miles, but Frontiers are known to go 300k, so I'm not worried. I'm trying to learn basic maintence specifically for this vehicle. Hell, I'd even attempt my own spark plugs if it wasn't so difficult to do on this specific truck

you have to remove the intake? Damn. Thankfully the iridium plugs last a while though I personally don't run them ( too weak of spark for my high hp stuff, but they do go 100k).

Yeah, my local places quoted 850 and 760. Plugs and gasket will be around 150-200 on their own. There's several videos, but I doubt I have the tools, much less the know how to even begin to attempt it.
