Which commuter car should I get?
I am looking for a car to get me back and forth to school (25 mi each way) 4 days a week and back and forth to work 2 days a week. I need a 4 door so I can get my daughter in the car. But i still want something fun to drive. I am not looking to spend a ton of money on a beater. Trying to stay <$6000. I was thinking a Golf or maybe a G20 or even a Volvo S40 or Audi A4 but if you all can give me a few more ideas that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Chris

I'd go with a 4 door subaru impreza. They're pretty reliable, look nice with basic mods and have just enough power for you to have a decent time with. Not to mention AWD is a great feature to have in a beater/dd

I've never considered WRXs to be a particularly small car, they have plenty of room for adult passengers in back as long as the people in the front aren't 6 foot + and a nice big trunk.

Re: Which commuter car should I get?
I would love to get an Impreza but the wife said no more Subarus because i totaled my '05 Legacy GT and my brother in law totaled his '04 WRX so she basicly thinks they are cursed. I would love to find a nice 4 dr 5spd RWD but there arent many out there. I mean really what is there 7 and 9 series Volvo. I had also considered a Saab 9-5 but have heard horror stories. anyone know anything about saabs?
