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?
