My ex-roomate ruined Cavys for me, and I work for a GM dealership, so I see the little querks with them. Kia parts are a PITA to get ahold of when something does go wrong. Imports can cost ya' a nice penny (atleast around here) to fix. With my heavy foot and my heavy car (93 Grand Cherokee [ZJ] w/ all wheel drive and the 4.0 I-6) I still get around 14-15 mpg city and about 21-22 highway.

As you can tell, when I drive (even if it's to the corner store) I gotta have my space... Maybe I'm not the right guy to be talking about some car that gets good gas mileage...

Ashley - Get the 5.2 (318) V-8 in that? I'm looking for a 1998 ZJ that's the 5.9 Limited Edition. I'm droolin' just thinking about it. Hit me up w/ a PM and tell me how ya' like it (and let me drool over the list of options that you got! )

crown vic polic package. It totally rocks, and will seat zix in comfort, seven or even eight if you really need to, and thats without putting anyone in the trunk (at least ten if you do that). On top of that, you get the police package which means your car is a decent performer (don't expect good 1/4 mile times, it is a huge car, but its got a good top speed and good high speed handling. And you get a spotlight. And american full size sedans are totally awesome. Also look into a town car or a grandmarquis (crown vic with some extra options). Cheap, reliable (don't believe the fix or repair daily nonsense, mid and late 90's crown vics are about as reliable as cars get. I've got a 15 year old ford that has never had a major problem.)

But you gotta pay for gas. Beats an SUV, but not a civic.
