'98-'99 Civic. Tough as nails (I know, I had one that was totalled :( )

Mine was automatic :ugh: but it should not matter.

6th gen Celica. Trust me, you'll enjoy it far more than a Civic. Plus, they don't have the reliability problems of the 7th gens.

A civic is still a good choice, with better economy.

You may want to look at the previous gen altima's say 99-01, they were 4 cylinder and drove pretty nice and comfy for a commuter car.

older civic, camry, corolla, etc etc. Basically any cheap Honda or Toyota will last many miles as long as you keep up regular maintenance and not dog it

[jerry rojas]

thanks guys

My previous car was a 6th gen celica, extremely reliable, never let me down and still looks ALOT better then your average civic.

Rolla

[timm3r]

corolla or civic.

[jeetee-ess]

Rolla


yep :thumbup:. saves you some $ with good mileage.

[techgeekwill]

any civic or rolla will save you dough.

what about a geo metro, you will be the envy of the office.

Or just buy a bike and take lessons to drive it.

[jerry rojas]

a bike is also a great idea, totally slipped my mind. 50+ mpg!, who doesn't want that? plus used bikes are very cheap.

Diesel VW. Pretty reliable, great mileage.

get a used civic, do a b18c1 swap or a k20z1 swap if you can afford it.

corolla is nice for gas mileage but really boring to drive, even a stock Civic is a ton more fun.
