As others have said, if you only drive 3,000 miles per year, buy the cheapest car you are willing to drive. Depreciation is everyone's biggest enemy, but especially the enemy of someone who infrequently drives. You fight depreciation by owning something that costs very little to begin with.
All that said, if you're set on owning a more expensive car with more comforts, at least test drive a Fusion hybrid first. I've driven every compact and midsize sedan on the rental lots, and the Fusion is easily my favorite.
I promise this is the last time I'll mention the Fusion in this thread.
