honestly you might laugh but saturns. they get good gas milage i get bout 31 miles to the gal. insurance is cheaper then over half the cars out there. as long as you matnence them like you should any car they last a good long time. Bought mine with 30,000 miles its at almost 110,000 and still drivers great. and as a bonus if you get a saturn wagon cops don't really fuck with you. and the insurence is even cheaper. but check one out if you get the chance I've seen a saturn with over 400,000 miles on it and it still ran.
