    Jesus christ. In my country a 1.6L midsize sedan is considered a gigantic gas guzzler, meanwhile you guys have little girls riding around in Camaros and V10 trucks :O

    So Jeep decided to facelift the Cherokee.
    This doesn't look bad compared to what the pre-facelft looks like.

    What about coupes? Or are there so few of them that no stereotype exists?

    around Philly, if you see a truck thats anywhere from 20-5 years old, theres an 89% chance you're going to need a stepladder to get into it, it's tires are super thin, It's frying pan sized exhaust spews black smoke, and the headlights and taillights are tinted all the way. It's super annoying, being woken up by an F150 at 6 in the morning by a redneck racer

    Wait, are you serious? The smallest engine that I have every even had the opportunity to buy was a 1.8L and I bought that only because I had no other option. Other than that the smallest I have ever had is a 2.3L. A normal sized engine in most cars that I have had is a 5.7L.

    Is your brother buying the car, or are the parents?

    Buy a used Golf or a used Corolla. Cheap, reliable and just enough power to break the 120 hp barrier.

    I don't know how viable of an option it would be, but I'd personally just cut my budget, and pay for all of it. Sure, it means there's alot less that you can get, but atleast you can get what you want. Your parents don't seem to be keen on anything your brother wants, atall...

    Most cars here are in the 1.0-1.4L range. 1.6 is generally seen in midsize cars and anything bigger than that is for sports cars and luxury cars.

    Such is life in a country where you need to take out a god damned mortgage just to fill your tank with gas.
