All things considered. . . which one is the best; Audi Avant, Dodge Magnum, Volvo wagon, Honda Element.?

Any car I get will need to be Black on Black. . . the car needs to haul my DJ speakers and amps, needs to look cool to the “younger set” because there are times when my 17 year old stylish/trendy daughter will be driving it, and also needs to be economical. Remember I would like to spend no more than 10,000 and have a reliable economical car. Subaru Forrester is definitaly out – it’s too suburban yuppieish looking.

Dodge Magnum will be the best for what you need or the Honda Element. the Honda will probably be more economical, but im not sure if it will do better on handling all the weight of the DJ equipment (not sure of the weight). The Audi will be too expensive and have high prices on parts, the Volvo and is more suburban and would not look cool at all. Another car you could explore is the Scion XB. A lot of kids love them, they’re cheap, economical, and ive seen many people use them for their DJ equipment.
