My Mom has a Chevy Sonic with a manual transmission she bought brand new in 2014. It's an ok car, but even with less than 50,000 miles on it so far, she has had quite a few problems with it. The A/C no longer works, and there are a few electrical problems. Also the intake plenum tube disintegrated and there is quite the oil leak.

I have thought about a Cruze diesel. I really want +50mpg on the highway. But again, I need to drive in a year an a half as much as my mom has in 4 years. And I don't want a car that's going to stop working in that time. I want to keep it for years, decades even.
