this one looks better, but slightly more expensive. The mileage kinda sucks compared to the honda fits and corollas we've been lookin at tho. 18/25 is only slightly better then a G >.<

iii knoooow lol. she wants it more then the fit too lol and i guess gas isnt such a big deal since work is less then 2 miles away and school is about 8.
i found this nice mazda 3 speed as well. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...1&rdpage=thumb
diggin the interior, but not the color of the exterior. this is prob 3rd on the list.

we havnt been able to find much honda fits on craigslist or autotrader either...probably because they've only been out for 2 years or so

Yes it sure is, and with gas prices today? the difference in gas mileage shouldnt be an huge of concern, in the short run at least.
