> Some car models I personally would recommend looking into are the Honda Accord, the Honda Civic, the Nissan Sentra, and the Ford Escort.

Don't personally know about the other three models, but I recently purchassed an old Honda Accord off of my grandparents. They had owned the car since it was new, and by the time I got it, it had a little over a hundred and fifty thousand miles on it. I've since added a TON of milage to it, with hour drives to and from Logan every day, and a couple trips down to Southern Utah, and all I've had to do to it was get a new muffler, change the oil, and replace the carburater. (Assumed total cost: $130 or so)

I've had the car for just over nine months, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
Hondas live forever, and take a lot of abuse before they finally die on you.

Half"Liked his Ford Probe's manual transmission a lot better, but that car didn't last more than 3 months before throwing a rod"Witt
