Next project

[msmemory_archive]

OK, on to the next thing. I need a new car. At least, new to me. Candidate makes and models include Toyota (Prius, Corolla, Matrix), Subaru (Forester, Outback), Chevy something, Saturn something, Honda something. Or something else I haven't thought of.

Must have: mpg comparable to Prism (~30), auto trans, CD, excellent acceleration (I do have to drive in Boston), support system convenient to my home, rear window defrost. I expect to drive it for more than 100,000 miles, so reliability is key.

Thanks for the comments! Keep 'em coming.

No minivans. No Hyundais, and especially no Kias. No Fords. Probably not a PT Cruiser -- even though the aesthetic is funky Roger Rabbit, and it's a hatchback, I haven't heard glowing reviews (though I guess I could ask my two next door neighbors).

Fu's sister has a PT. One advantage is that he actually *fits* in it -- but that's a feature you don't need.

Fu, having ridden in my Geo Prizm a couple times, might disagree :)

PT is a great car

Not only do I fit in the PT, I fit in the back seat of the PT. Comfortably. I would take a long trip in the back of a PT.
