Yeah i have always prefered a nissan and the 3rd gen altima IMO is the best looking. But they dont really fit in my price range and i am not a fan of previous bodys and i like some maximas but i just have never had much luck w/ getting good MPG w/ the VG30! I mean i would love this car except it is the V6 and a little high price wise for a DD/Beater. http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/car/728742506.html

If you have to ask then you should get a honda or Volvo. VW/Audi require people who know that they want an audi/vw.

TDIs do get excellant mileage.

well i have been looking for a Volvo but i either want RWD or AWD and either is hard to find an a 5spd. I mean maybe i am to picky but i mean i will be putting better than 15k mi/yr on it so i want it to be something i like. also SubieChik did the LGT's start w/ the turbo in '05 or would a '97 LGT be turbo as well. http://richmond.craigslist.org/car/721859039.html I don't think it would be to hard to find a 5spd to swap in!
