Bye bye Baby Bunting, you father's gone car hunting...
So, I'm torn between several used cars, and I wanted to ask for thoughts from the masses as to their preferences. Also, let me know about any horror stories with any of them. Here we go:
1997 Chrysler Seabring convertible coupe (not sure it'll fit my hockey sticks/impractical?)
2000 Chevy Prizm sedan (up to 36-38 mpg on highway, but maybe no CD player or cruise control!)
1997 Mazda Protégé sedan (dark green, but I am a beggar...)
2002 Accord Coupe (the safe bet... but only two doors and boring silver)
2002 Mazda Protege5 (stylish wagon with decent fuel efficiency and high ratings, but a smallish engine in 1.8L)
One can assume 65,000-110,000 miles on any given car and a price from $3,500 to $7,000.
I prefer the imports (for example, the Chevy Prizm is actually a Toyota Camry in disguise), but beggars can not be choosers (unless muffin tops are involved). So, any ideas guys?
