Any ideas?
So far I've looked at the 2009 Corolla XRS - it's a nice car, but at $23,000 it's a bit spendy. The Scion tC is pretty sweet, but there's no trunk space and mileage isn't that good, especially from a car as small as that one. Hell, I drive a 3,500lb Volvo S60 right now, and I get 25/33 miles to the gallon - all the while I get 208 horse power and 250 ft-lbs of torque thanks to it's 5-cyl engine.
It sucks that the tC is so cheap, because it offers all kinds of cool shit for such a low price ($18k) - but no trunk space.
Suggestions anyone?

I drive a Nissan Versa (the hatchback instead of the sedan...in red, my fav color of course) and I L-O-V-E it! It's small yes but, it gets GREAT gas mileage and it has a very polite monthly car payment. For an econo car it looks quite smart too. There's not a lot of bells and whistles in it, but the interior is comfortable and tall people comment on how comfortable it is for a small car. One tiny con: It only has one charger. Even the most basic cars need 2 now days. Other than that though, its all gravy.. I couldn't be happier with it.
My husband drives an hour one way to work daily..and that's distance, not traffic. The other day I filled his truck up for him...( He was using my car again for work to save gas, go figure! ) Well, it wasn't on empty yet... about a 1/4 was left and I paid 86 bucks!! I wonder how much would have been if it were on empty! When the kids and I aren't out so much, he drives my car and I'm stuck w/ the manly truck! You know after a year I still can't park the damned thing straight...
Men, think practical..think gas mileage and low car payment!
Get thee to the Hummer dealership.. MALE
I just think those cars are FUCKING ugly. Did you miss the part where I said I was looking at a Corolla and Scion? Definitely NOT a gas guzzler.
I just want something that isn't tiny, ugly, incredibly basic (it has to have a moon roof), decent trunk space, and good mileage.)
Same price range, and better cars, IMO.
For Familial Thrills - Ford Mondeo
For SUV - Nissan Qashqai
By the way I think all the cars I mentioned are awful and ugly looking. But they are great.
If you rob someone rich then get a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. For the price they are asking they should throw in that fit girl as well.
I think it might be the XRS.
Just throwing in ideas as I pass by.
For what you what I would go with Honda or Toyota. I have a 07 Corrola XRS and so far I had to take it in twice for computer problems. Apparently it is a big, big problem on the 9th generation toyota corrolas and scions, they tend to fry out quick. So much so that the computers are on back order and can take a month to get in. Besides that it drives great, good size and mileage. Hopefully the problem has been fixed with the new generation. Here's a website devoted just to new corrola's with usefull info, http://www.9thgencorolla.com
As for the civic, I know what you mean. The dash feels like a jet fighter cockpit and the four doors versions are just plain UGLY. If you have the dough the accord is the best four door in its class (top pick for consumer reports too).
