I am a uni student starting grad school in Indianapolis. I plan on buying my first car. Just so the posters know, my programme is fully funded and I will receive a stipend on top of it. Now, traditional wisdom and popular opinion will direct one to buy a Toyota or a Honda for their affordability, reliability and resale value. But, these choices seem a bit too safe and sound for someone like me.
I want a car that a suits my personality - a bit of a calculated risk-taking yob with some eccentricity, style and substance. So I short-listed the Subaru Impreza and Ford Focus. Of the two, I am inclined on the Focus. I plan on going for a 2010 or later make, hatchback. I will be driving mostly in the city and downtown, with some occasional driving on the motorway. I plan on owning this car at least for the next 5 years.
I would like to know about people's experiences with car and any suggestions they can make to help me with this are welcome.
