Back when I drove and hour and a 1/2 each way to get to school, I was driving a Toyota celica. Started with a 88, ended up with an 05. I had no complaints, no real issues with the celicas. Try to schedule your classes only 3 days a week. Subtracting 3 out is hours out of your day 5 days a week and trying to get things done while in college was not fun.
Honestly you might think about upping your budget a tad, seems kind of low to get something reliable.I'm assuming you're discussing selling your ford edge And I think you could pocket some money from that and be able to buy something more in the 4K range. I would suggest stick shift as a definite, low miles and prefer garage kept but slightly older to keep the cost down. If you're gonna keep the ford edge anyway, I would just drive it as I don't think you're actually gonna be saving any money from better MPG losing out on insurance maintenance and purchase price for a second vehicle.
Oh and best of luck with your schooling, hang in there. Also have you re evaluated whether or not the current situation will affect your attending in person plans?
