    I know it' a BMW , but my wife got the 07 turbo mini cooper and it is fun. Yes it's premium gas but 34 mixed driving mileage and as good as 38 MPG on a 500 mile road trip at cruise set at 78 mph most of the time and the price o gas is alright. I just have to make sure we get rid of the thing in a few years before all those German pats start breaking. We got it with a couple k left onb the warrenty and made sure all little problems were fixed. Super fun. Would like to MOD it but Taco get's all my $ love.

    Saturn SL4... cheapest car I have ever bought @ $1000. No AC in South Carolina didn't work out too well though. Cornered like a champ.... that's about it. Thank God I'm not in college anymore.

    Well if you're 6-3 and 230, the Outback Sport would be cramped. Go for a full size Outback then ... gas mileage is about the same.
