Subject:Recommendation to buy car

I have researched multiple possible vehicles that I would consider buying. The purpose of this report is to ask your opinion on which car you think is most suitable for my needs. After gathering information, I  narrowed my choices down to three possibilities: A 2012 Dodge Charger, a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, or a 2006 Nissan Xterra. These are my three criteria.

1.Miles per gallon

2.Cost

3.Eye appeal

Recommendation

I recommend that I buy a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This car, in my opinion, looks the best. It caught my eye more than the others. It gets 13-20 miles to the gallon, and it costs between $23,590 and $44,710.

Discussion 

Miles Per Gallon

I am looking for a car that has good gas milage, but I won't be going long distances very often, so I can be flexible.

Silverado

The Silverado gets 13 city miles to the gallon, and up 20 highway miles to the gallon.

Charger

The Charger gets 14 city miles to the gallon, and up to 31 highway miles to the gallon. 

Xterra

The Xterra gets 14 city miles to the gallon, and up to 19 highway miles to the gallon.

Cost

The price should be within the range of $50,000.

Silverado

The Silverado is priced at between $23,590 and $44,710.

Charger

The Charger is priced at between $25,595 and $45,925.

Xterra

The Xterra is priced at around $8,703 used.

Eye Appeal

The car has to look good inside and out.

Silverado
The Silverado looks great inside and outside.
 

Charger
The Charger looks equally great, but i am more attracted by trucks.
 

Xterra

The Xterra also looks good, but not quite as good as the others.
 

Conclusion
The price range is similar for the two cars I am leading more towards, ad they both meet my budget. The cars all look grea, and I thin they could all be possibilities.
