by reliability I don't mean it has to be super reliable like a toyota corrola but just genearaly a reliable and fairly cheap car to maintain. Owning a 20 year old porsche that costs 1500 bucks to replace belts and seals most newer cars should be much more reliable and cheap.
LOL yummy, if you think all the 4 cyl or small cars in europe are diesel u are greatly mistaken..
I can think of at least 10 new 4cyls (gas) in Europe/Japan that I would LOVE to see in North America... and probly 50 dif cars from 1985 to date that i would love to have.. none are diesel.
yummy, how much do you want to spend? i've never found standards that much of a hassle even in rush hr traffic, hills or in the wet, but I learned to drive on std trannies, and being a mechanic by trade, I stay away from autos because of what i've personaly seen..

I have a hybrid and a 1996 saturn sl1 my saturn gets 35 miles to the gallon.saturn is a standard
the hybrid gets me 55-60, the hybrid cost me 25 grand the saturn cost 1900. I am thinking I like the saturn more. But I only drive high way pretty much, maybe 10 miles a month city driving.

well my saturn has 160,000 miles and is going strong its easy to fix and cheap for parts, Its about as good an economy car as it gets
I would have to agree with Okrascope and Beancounter that the Honda Civic is economical and reliable. It is such a good little car that it is hard to find used.
BTW, the Yugo that Nokuy showed you in the picture runs on methane and you have to eat at taco bell at least 4 times per week and wear a hose going from your ass to the methane digester while you are driving. If you need more speed, you simply fart harder.

fuel ecconomy hmm my rotor hasnt a chance at 200k per 70litre of 98 octane..
Thats driving off boost round town lucky to get 150km per tank when i my right foot starts feeling heavy on higher than normal boost.
Best on fuel ive driven an old 1987 carolla (not ae86) with carb or webbers was my bunky $5 of any fuel would last all week and was nearly impossiable to kill.

what about a 2003 newer dodge neon........ yeah dodge neons have a really bad reputation for being horribly unreliable but I've heard the newest models are improved.
I think it looks nicer than a toyota or honda civic.
