Ford Escorts were pretty good in the day as well.

Are you limited to gasoline engines? What are some of your other parameters of your search besides auto transmission?
all i want is auto transmission (cause commuting alot and dont feel like shifting), i need it to be reliable i dont have the money to always be fixing little things and cheap maintenance, and then really good mpg (over 40 highway and over 30 city). oh and $5,000 budget.

also ive been considering the jetta/golf tdi's cause ive heard some goot things about them and i see alot with like over 300k miles on them...
