I'm currently commuting for work again and am excited for tax refund time so that I can justify spending some coin on something that will be capable of some good numbers.

The Budget: $5-9k

The Necessities: 4 doors, preferably under 100k miles, everything works without issues or idiosyncrasies

The Current Wants/Options: TDIs, Prius C, Ford C-Max, Audi A3 TDI, Honda Insight IIs.

Any advice and Tips are greatly appreciated!

I'm excited to be back!
My 2 door Cobalt Xfe seats 5 and tops 50 mpg all summer, my guess is a Cruze should be capable of the same.

Simple car, only maintenance is the blasted timing chain, otherwise nearly bulletproof so far


Been considering a Prius v to be my craftmobile with high miles they are $4-8 k
But beware 2010-2015 Prii are good oil burners
