03 Northstar Caddy. Keeps the V8 rumble, has reasonable grunt, comfortable as hell and will pull about 26-27 mpg on the highway. A tank in the snow too. You need to be a reasonably capable mechanic to own one I think...a lot of small stuff breaks.

Depends what you need it for, and IF fuel milage is a real considation and ultimately the utility of the vehicle will weigh out overall.

TO me the car needs to be reliable and not going to have issues 3-8 years down the road.

Example, paid $1500 for a 2000 Buick Century 50ish on the odom and needed just basic matience and tires and gets when driving correctly 20-26 mpg on ave 50/50 freeway/in town mix.

Wife has a DD 2007 HHR Auto that gets upwards of 24-29 mpg but imo they have issues but depends on what you get.

If it came down to a new DD I was eyeing Fords and some Buicks.

Too much reading... Whats your daily commute like?

I take my CTS-V DD becasue I commute 8 miles to work...

If i still drove much more than that I would need a MPG car not a HP car.

From my old car... Subaru Legacy GT 05+. They are turbo and fund to drive and AWD and can get 25+mpg. Also comfortable and the heated seats/mirrors/wipers come in handy in the winter.

I daily a 1994 Ford Aspire. I got it free since it didn't run. $50 and a few hours, and I get an average of 40 mpg. It's ugly, but I can carry my bikes and yak without a problem.
