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.

Cityside has a bad habit of being thoroughly condescending toward women, however, or at least it did the last time I was foolish enough to go there. :/ In the one test drive and the seven or eight visits I made there while I owned a Subaru, I got talked down to every single time.

I was -markedly- unimpressed by their behavior when I bought my last Subaru - I ended up going to Natick. Natick was OK, but it was really far away from where I am now, so I wasn't so thrilled.

Now I have a Honda Civic from Honda Cars of Boston (Everett) and I love the car. And the service department has yet to condescend to me at all.
