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?

Agreed, the 28-30 mpg is strictly highway. My commute is 80% highway, so I hope to average 25 or more. We'll see. So far this first tank has 150 miles on it and I still show over 1/2 tank. But I have no idea how accurate the gauge is. When I bought it, it was showing almost empty and the fuel light was on. I filled it will 11 gallons.
