Question for everyone:

With the stolen-ness of my car, I will be shopping (and hopefully buying!) one within the next week. My question to you:

1. What are you driving right now?
2. What do you like about it?
3. What don't you like about it?

Thanks!!

I drive a cavalier (2004, i think), car payment is 195/mo. Insurance is pretty cheap too. Its fine and remarkably handled well in the snow. Back seat is tiny though. The cobalt is much better in that respect (I've ridden in one several times, us grad students can't afford much ( ... )

I have an '01 Hyundai Tiburon. I like it alright. Handles well... I wish it had more power and I hate how it's geared. Should've went with the manual transmission. I have put some money into it though... had a sensor go out and recently the starter.

Jessie has an '03 Chevy Cavalier. I'm not the biggest fan of Chevy. However this car has been reliable for the first 50K miles. Changing the oil is a pain in the ass because of GM trying to be cute with a different type of oil filter... but if you don't do it yourself that wouldn't matter.

If I were currently in the market for a car my search would begin (and likely end) with either Japan or Germany. I would seriously look at used Honda's, Toyota's and VW's.

I'm well. New job, new digs.

Hope everything is going alright with you and the job search.

1. 2002 used Saturn. pretty much just like the old one, just 10 years newer. and with a cd player! i'm just about to hit 50,000 miles.
2. a) small enough that i can park and drive without worrying about where the ends of my car are.
b) good gas mileage, in my opinion.
c) keeps going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going. danielle has my old ('92) Saturn, and she's at about 150,000 and still going strong.
d) i've always had good luck in the snow.
*i'm sure there's more, but it's late and i can't think anymore.
3. a) the muffler strap can ONLY be bought from saturn, and costs around $35 (compared to $5 from a regular place). BUT, it should last a couple of years versus 4-6 months.
b) i haven't had to replace much, but a lot of other parts can only be ordered through Saturn, and they can be more expensive than typically.

anyway. i LOVE my car and will continue to buy saturn. so... perhaps i'm biased. but. there ya go. :)
