The roads are getting real ****ty and I am not in the mood to be replacing tires every x amount of days/weeks.

I want to lease a car for around 200 a month with 0 down I can get a few cars, 2016 civic, 2016 jetta, 2016 mini cooper which one would you get it ? Do you guys have any other ideas for any other car for a daily??

I just care about good mpg and comfortable low key car that I can use my phone bluetooth stream on and hit potholes/bumps without much consequence. Sometimes I drive 200+ miles a day and I get tired of watching the road like a hawk for potholes/debris and the roads I drive on are beyond terrible.

From a driving experience the mini cooper. I have leased a bunch of civics over the years for 200 a month zero down and they are good cars, just not very fun to drive - if I could have got a mini or even a jetta I would have done either of those, but they were always a few grand down to get to 200 a month.

Is it blasphemy to suggest a Rav 4. Maybe lease on coming off lease?

I wouldn't see that as a bad DD. Maybe a bit girly, but otherwise perfectly capable.

I lease a Ford C-Max energi. I plug it at work and it's good for ~17 miles with the charge, then reverts to a conventional hybrid. The MPG savings offset the C63s. It's not an engaging drive, but adequate for daily driving and beater duties. I just slapped on a set of winter tires and it'll take the snow and salt too.

You may even be able to get an Accord on your budget. I have an E350 and a 2009 Accord- in its own way the Accord is superb. I know someone who just got a RAV4. Nice car- if your are a girl.

If you drive 200+ miles a day I don't think leasing is a good option (most leases allow somewhere around1 12k miles per year).. unless you meant 20 lol. One of my friends was looking at the new chrysler 300c really nice car good power really comfortable. He said it was something like 1000 down and 250 a month. I rented one recently for a road trip, it was a great car. good gas mileage and really comfortable.

200+ Miles for a leased car is a lot. Im gonna just echo what akmatic63 said: You may wanna look at other options if youre gonna put more than 12k a year on it.

I have my toy p31 coupe and I daily drive a leased crv and.i went all out and got it fully loaded and did a zero down lease for 369 a month but you can do a base model crv for 208 a month zero down,only doc fees around here.

the crvs will go on crazy leases soon as the new model just came out and it's turbocharged.

I love my crv,just took it with the girl on a 2 hour drive to the casino and that ride would kill me in the coupe.

My dad used to daily a VW Jetta, then stepped up to a Passat and that thing is actually pretty nice and works well in the snow. Most of VW perform pretty well. I would say go with whatever you like the most.

Try to get an accord in that price range if possible. I had a base model as a daily when I was making a long commute. It was more than adequate for slow traffic daily driving. Jetta for me was in the high 3's when I priced out zero down. We currently have a junky Jeep Patriot for daily/bad weather days. The engine is an absolute POS and it is all around pretty bare bones, but at $250 per month, it has hauled a lot of crap for us and been generally reliable for the past 2.5 yrs...and I regularly drive full speed over speed bumps and the occasional pot hole. I'm also 5k miles behind on getting the oil changed...but I'm turning it back in at the end of this month, so crossing my fingers for 15 more days!

Used Honda Crosstour? I was looking at one for an airport car and initially turned up my nose--I never liked the combo-sedan/hatch. But it is solid and utilitarian enough.
