I'm gonna be buying a car soon and I wanted to see what you guys thought would be a good choice. Looking for something small that handles well and has good fuel economy for relatively cheap.

Edmunds.com was really helpful in narrowing things down and getting info when we were looking. But you should just get an old van with the teardrop bubble windows and a mural of some Vallejo-type stuff on it.

Well that's just entirely too practical, and totally repellent to hitchhikers covered in road dirt wearing hot pants.

Why the hell would you want anything made by GM with all the recalls and news about deaths and shit?

I've always loved Hondas. If you like the Sonic, why not look at the Fit...or maybe even a Hyundai accent? They get better gas mileage, are comparable in price, they should be more reliable, and neither is made by an automaker that's recalling a few hundred thousand to a few million cars every few weeks because they might fucking kill you...yet, anyway.

Stand firm in my belief in going for a Honda if you want reliable and good gas mileage.

It didn't seem so badass in "The Goldbergs" Delorean episode guest starring Dan Fogler.

It would seem my gf is trying to take over the decision. Her grandparents are selling their '05 Mercury Grand Marquis for $5,000, but with only 30,000 miles on it, and she wants to buy it.

That's a boat. So totally not gonna save on gas with that. Great price and low miles, but damn, I don't know.
