New Car
So it looks like I might be needing a new car. I currently have a 1993 Dodge Spirit which has been a great car, but now it's time for me to get my first new car. I'm currently looking at:
Mini Cooper
Hyundai Sonata
Honda Civic
Toyota Camry Solara
VW Jetta
I'm trying to get a decent engine (prefer V6) and stay in the low 20's. Anyone have any other suggestions?

the only one i can say anything about is the civic we have one and they are very reliable and feul efficient and if you you look on the roads there are many civics that are 15 years old still running if that says anything

yeah, the Mazda is nice,
Or the nissan Altima with the 6, I also like the new Mitsubishi Eclipse, I had a 2000 and loved it, not practical when you are married with children though
Subaru's are always a good choice, all wheel drive, and even the 4 bangers pack a punch!

Those are all nice but I need to stay in the low 20's. Some of those you mentioned start at 23k, then you get a cup holder and it's 25k+.

toyota corolla, toyota Prius(might be more than low 20's since i last looked at them). btw, i'm pretty sure that Mini's are more than low 20's.
have you thought about a 4cyl Pick-up? a man needs a truck.  |

The non-sport version of the mini loaded is like 23k. The sport version is about 3k higher. I'm not really needing a truck and I like smaller vehicles. My father in law lives close enough if I need a truck I steal theirs. |
