I'll reply to my own comment on this. If you're gas is paid for, why wouldn't you just buy a truck?

I have no fear of CVTs nor give a shite what the OT thinks.

I just hate the way they drive plain and simple.

Thanks for all the responses. Again the car is a company car that I’ve been given a few days to pick. Gas and maintenance are covered.

If gas and maintenance are covered and you will only be driving it a couple of years before getting a new one, who cares about brand or long term reliability. Just get the one that has the best ride, comfort, and options (stereo, heated/cooler seats, etc.), since you will be spending a lot of time behind the wheel. Will you be using the vehicle for family functions when at home? Maybe something to consider.

2019 Subaru Legacy


It has 2.5L engine with major oil burning issues (shows up around 50,000 miles) and not enough power. It also has a CVT which can be annoying. If they let you get the 3.6L model, this could be an interesting option.

quote:

2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid


That thing has been beaten with an ugly stick. Why would you do this if your company is paying for the gas? Toyotas don’t have Apple Car Play but the Camry does have a comfortable interior. It’s just extremely ugly in a “design by focus group” kind of way.

quote:

2019 Ford Fusion


No CVT, comfortable on the highway. Older but attractive design. Decent Infotainment. Lots of standard features including CarPlay.

quote:

2019 Nissan Altima

New one looks nice and has a (very) comfortable interior, but still has CVT. And Nissan’s CVT are notoriously unreliable and tends to keep the engine at a droning, steady RPM, which can be annoying. Nissan used to make CarPlay as an option. Not sure if they still do.

Of these 4, I would go with the Fusion. If they are getting you a higher trim model, I might also consider the Nissan. I wouldn’t bother with the Subaru or Camry.

Go drive a new 2.0T Accord and you will be pleasantly surprised. Just bought one last November and love it.



The Unibrow look doesn’t work on the Accord. We had a 2013 Accord and couldn’t even consider the new model when we replaced it last year. Honda ruined the styling and got rid of the V6.

The Civic looks much better.

Altima. I’ve heard of earlier ones going 140 on i10 without difficulty

But how much gas did it produce at that speed? Camery would have made about 1 gallon per minute.

Camry Hybrid. No brainer. High residual value, so you can minimize the depreciation hit.

Definitely not the Fusion. Any car that has an announced discontinue date means the resale value will be horrific.

This is a company car , I get to pick one of the four only. Free gas, maintenance and car.

Really wanted to know if anyone had experience with these, which one was most comfortable and the fewest issues.

Fusion

Had a Camry rental with 1,100 miles on it. It wasn't as nice as the Fusion I had rented before with about 14,500. Ride, comfort, interior, etc.
Never rode in or drove the rest.
