What kind of car should I get? |
|
I'm gonna trade in my gas guzzler for a fuel efficient car. I'm looking at a Toyota Corolla or a Saturn. I'm leaning towards the Saturn cause they are really cheap. Anyone have a Saturn Ion 3?

1. Check Consumer Reports for reliability ratings first. |
|
I don't remember for sure, but my recollection is that the Saturn Ion is a lemon.

3. I don't have a Saturn Ion, but I do have a Saturn and am happily amazed |
|
at the service, the car itself and the whole experience. It was worth it for me but I wasn't looking for much.

4. I like the Mazda 3 for that spec/price point. |
|
But both those cars you're looking at are good.

5. My Corolla is a hooptie wagon |
|
The engine is good, but all the interior trim fell off LONG ago.
Get a Honda.

I got rid of that piece of crap earlier this year. It had some major electrical issues. I swear that thing was possessed. I would go with the Toyota.

car you could probably get a great deal on a Ford Focus or better yet the Ford Fusion.
