Cars and Transportation

AlchPons asked:


I’m turning 18 in a few months, and when I pass my driving test my parents are allowing me to choose what car I buy, though the budget is 8-9K. I’ve been looking at some luxury cars, but is that too far a stretch for a budget like that? I was looking into the Lexus IS series, but I heard they’re just Toyota Camry ripoffs or whatever. So is there a good car (luxury, if possible) that fits in my budget and looks pretty decent? I’m a car newbie here, so any tips/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a ‘98 Toyota camry, but i’m moving up to Alaska and I was wondering if it would do ok in blow zero weather. (Fairbanks) If not, what are some good cars to own in an area with cold weather like that? Thanks!
