Pretty shabby for a first car dude.

Yep. My father owned this car before me, it's a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander. He decided to get himself a truck, and didn't really know what to do with the Outlander. Due to my Taurus being a piece of shit and my grandparents refusing to let it go (it's in their name, cheaper insurance) I got this

Picture:

I'm happy for you man! Finally getting rid of that piece of horse shit Ford.

My father is getting a settlement check because of a lawsuit, he intends to spend some of it on a new truck.

Side question guys, what do you think is better? A Chevy Silverado, or a Toyota Tundra?

I like Chevy, but I did have a relative with a Tundra and it worked great.

I was going to overall suggest that he get the Tundra. Even though the Chevy Silveraydo kicks ass (Amiri King )

Oh god.... stay clear of everything Chevy (at least for consumer vehicles).. and Toyota trucks can be good, but as a mechanic I've seen them go bad more than good.

Woah.. I like the fact that it's big, and it could be warm inside the vehicle.
10/10, don't sell it by the way.
If you don't like it, in 50 - 60 years time, give it to your son, too.

The Tundra is probably going to do better on reliability, although Chevy is pretty good these days! I would just compare pricing, fuel economy, safety ratings and reliability reports. See which one comes out better on paper. I will admit the Tundra is a pretty nice car too ,though.

50-60 years time? I doubt the car will still be going, and I hope he is still alive by then, since he'd be in his retirement age lol!

Oh dear lord no! also, don't forget to look at average repair costs and recall lists (ford and chevy usually at the top of those)

No what? O_O You'd know far better than me... I speak only from experiences I was part of...

And yeah, good point to add those.
My main point was to check out the facts and figures for these cars before choosing one xD

I had to put half a fortune in the Taurus just to keep it running so yeah.

It's actually my second car. My first car's a 2003 Ford Taurus and MAN IT WAS A PIECE OF SHIT!!!

If this is shabby for a first car, I think you'd be utterly disgusted by the average first car in the UK lol, I am pretty sure half of them aren't even sold in the US... Nasty little French cars.

Also, just realised the car I'm in now (uber) is actually a Mitsubishi outlander... O.o

Yeah, a "first car" in the US could be anything from a Shitty Dodge Neon to a 90s Toyota Camry. Even the rich kids' first cars are average most of the time, like a Pontiac G6 or some shit.

My aunt's first car was a 1995 Chevy Cavalier for example. Now she drives a 2011 Toyota RAV4.
