I need a car, what should I get to start out with?

[ebacherville]

I went CRX-HF the high effency model, there hard to find as many ricers rip out the low HP motor and drop a big v-tec in it to match farrari performance.. There fast as hell but dont get the best MPG then..

Watch this crx.. blow awa a lambo!!

IF you can get a CRX-HF in stock condition and not rusted up etc .. makes a great start as its the highest MPG car ever sold inthe US..

Next I'd say geo metro.. then civic hatchbacks.

Manual or automatic?

Don't care, I've only ever had autos but as a mechanic I had to test drive manuals so I can do either.

So no real preference since manuals are more efficient.
