Need a car to daily in college, but unsure which to go with.
Im a college student who needs a car to go from my apartment to college. The average drive will be about 15-20 min drive on both streets and highway. I have a budget of about 7k and I’ve been looking at various cars to get. I need a reliable car that can still be a little fun. The cars I’ve been looking at are the ES350, Acura TL, Honda Civic, etc. I just need a sedan or a hatchback with good space cuz I wanna drive around with friends. IK it’s taboo but I also wanna mod the car just a little a bit. I’m mostly just gonna do cosmetic mods like coil overs to lower ride height and maybe a small spoiler, as well as other qol things like adding a screen with car play and better speakers.
PS: I live on socal and gas rn is like $6/gallon so gas mileage doesn’t need to be a main focus point but still needs to be taken into consideration.
