Can anyone recommend at good car? Nothing fancy....can't afford it. But I don't know if Ford, Buick, Toyota, Volkswagon are good or not!! Any ideas? Any help would be welcomed!!

Husband has a Toyota Corolla, fairly good price, great on the gas/petrol. he likes it. Maybe I shoudln't be answering this post, as I am certainly NOT a gear head.

I am hoping to keep the payments under $150. And I'm not picky, a used car is good enough! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Get a standard,more fun.Find a backyard mechanic who loves them. Otherwise, Land Rover.. as you say you have a Jeep going over the great divide and you may miss that 'truck' feeling.

Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Accent are the first two that come to mind and both have excellent track records. 10K financed 72 months at 8% would get you around $175.00 per month.

I like it a lot but it will cost far too much to repair it! I can't drop that much on it now. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
