[bp944]

So my ford focus bit the dust after a month. Evidently buying a 300,000 mile focus in the midwest wasn't one of my better choices. (I got all my money back though..go figure). Now its time for a new car.

Budget: 5,000 but cheaper the better
Mileage aims: 30+
Tooling: I can do anything short of welding.

Uses:
City mpg isn't a big deal since I'm usually biking places or use my motorcycle. I do drive cross country so highway miles are quite important. (300 mile trip to the parents every month or two). I bike to work in the winter but I would use the car for short trips.

Here's the hard part. I would love a vehicle that could tow my 1987 porshce 944 (2800 lbs max). I also have a motorcycle ('93 gsxr 750 460lbs). I am open to the idea of only being able to tow a motorcycle not the car. I was just curious with what is possible

vehicle thoughts:
Ford ranger 4x2 (I would love to lower it onto coilovers and autocross it)
Any VW TDI (a little expensive)
Mazda 2300
subaru's ( a little low on towing and mpg)
honda element (low on mpg)

any others?
