I agree with Honda being the number one choice, being a car girl and all
, also, Hyundai's are pretty good-I had an excel(ugly as hell) that took me for a looooooong time with much driving-over 200 thou miles. And I have an 01 accent right now that I have had for 6 months, and its doing great!! Just make sure you have it checked out before you get it. And if you can, you should get it from a dealer, and not a private seller-mine came from a dealer and as a bonus, they do free oil changes and tire rotations as long as I own the car!!
