It's been a while since I've considered buying a little car just to go from point A to point B but I find myself needing one. I have a few requirements.

1. It must be capable of at least 80 on the highway without being right at redline.

2. It must get at least 30 MPG on the highway.

3. It must have enough room for 4 people or 2 people and 2 big dogs.

4. It must be competent in bad weather and snow.

5. It must be cheap because I plan to pile miles on it and replace it in a couple years.

6. I'd preffer sometheing newer to keep maintenance costs down.

Any suggestions?

Mike I hate to say this. How about a late model Taurus. Auction prices around here have 04/05 with 25,000 aprox 8,000. Still have factory warranty. I just wonder what the repair bills will be after a few miles. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) Later John

I was thinking about suggesting the taurus, too. Unfortunately I bet 80% of the used ones you'll find are ex-rental cars. :leaving:

I guess the same can be said of the Alero, Cavalier, Grand Am, but not that high a percentage.
