He's not a car guy at all so he doesn't care about acceleration, braking, handling fresh out of college he just wants something better then his POS Pontiac G6 that is costing a fortune to fix/maintain.
I'd prefer he get an AWD vehicle for all the snow in NY but that's a little more money then he wants to spend right now.

Those three cars are just nice solid little cars in general. All FWD too. With a set of snow tires, it'll be good.

Going later today. Honestly I'm hearing nothing but great things about the 2.0. Nothing against the 2.5 but as fun as it is, the price difference isn't juatified. For me as long as I have leather and back up camera I'm good. You can buy the navigation disc for like 400 bucks as opposed to the 2 grand or whatever dealer charge. I'm trying both today and will.let you know sir.

AlexSU the 2.0 had a lot more pep than anticipated. Getting onto I 75 wasn't very impressive but put putting around town and once up to speed on the highway it was nice. I actually really like the feel of the cloth.
The 2.5 was a blast but if your brother is looking for 20 and under its either 23 is for a standard touring with leather but no navigation screen and 27 fully loaded. 23 is about what a decently loaded 2.0 costs so for me, I'd go 2.5 with leather and no navigation over a 2.0 with navigation. Sadly the little plastic thing in place of the screen on the base looks horrific. The screen in person is not as bad as I thought and I love using it and the smart control twist nob or whatever. Fit and finish were nice on both cars. I really like the cloth better actually since Florida and leather don't go well together in my.opinion. plus it's pretty comfortable cloth.
I need to make my way to a Honda dealer tho I know a civic is not for me. Can't stand how they look. An accord sport though needs to be driven as they're gorgeous. If your brother wants under 20 I know across the country old 12 and 13 M3s are pretty much being whored out right now. Can get one brand new for like 16.
That's my report lol
