Any true long-distance commuter will need to be very high mileage, dead simple and reliable. My commute is 36,000 miles a year, so I'd want a small diesel that would last 200,000+.
I don't necessarily need 4 seats (though it's pretty easy to cram a couple of "little people" seats behind the front seats, in case I'm taking a third person to lunch or need to bring a box home--or just want to avoid "sports car" insurance rates.)
