As far as goals, for me cars are appliances. I just want them to work. My wife has the "nice" car in the family. It would be a second car, used for running errands, going to the golf course, etc., less than 10,000 miles a year. I haven't driven a recent car or truck that was either bothersome or inspirational enough to get excited either way. One thing is that it needs to be at least usable in snow. Sometimes that requires winter tires, and sometimes just better tires.
I would like something that would carry a golf bag transversely, and probably something with a trunk instead of a hatch, although that point is not a big deal. For examples, a 99 Corolla and 08 HHR cannot fit a golf bag transversely. The bag would fit in the Corolla trunk, though, but it had to be jammed in diagonally. The HHR, seats had to be folded down so the bag could be placed longitudinally.
How is an Accord 4 cylinder MT for real world MPG? I drive economically but don't pulse and glide or that sort of thing.
