I didn't make the above statement about trading the Toyota for a Buick, but all I can say is why wouldn't you. To say he should trade a Mid-size Buick for a tiny Corolla is non-sense. Toyota is very overrated and none of it's products offer any pride of ownership at all and their reliability is falling drastically. I am only 22 and own a 1999 Buick Park Avenue and plan to trade it soon for another one. I have had absolutely no mechanical problems at all with the car and I get around 25 mpg, not to mention the superior comfort over any Toyota product. It is true that Buicks are not cool cars designed for young people, but to say Toyotas are is a joke. Have you checked the buyer demographics on the Camry recently? I may be young, but I am not to stupid to tell a superior car when I see one. I say he definitely made the right choice and at least his LaCrosse isn't styled with all the enthusiasm as his refrigerator like the Camry and Corolla.
A Corolla will suit their age bracket?! The only people I know that have Corollas are 55 year olds that can't afford anything better! Not that a Buick is really a young persons car, I would say a Fusion Cobalt or maybe a Focus? Despite whatever you may think tho that Buick will outlast the Corolla by years.
To 15:29, since when are Corolla's rated at 90 miles per gallon Highway? I think you have not only exaggerated your mileage figures significantly, but Toyota's reputation as well.
I agree that to trade a Buick for a Corolla is a bad idea. I'm 19 and own a 1995 Buick Park Avenue. I get about 22mpg in car and got 30mpg on a recent trip with the a/c running going 70-75mph. The Corolla is a lot smaller than a Buick, and looks more of a feminine car. Also I wouldn't want to get hit in one of those, you might not survive.
