Ok guys, I have decided to start a new project, however I can't decide what to start with. Whats the best car under $8000 to start with (and give a reason too please)? I want something that is pretty reliable since I drive a minumum of 50 miles per day and some days I drive as much as 150 miles. Also, I want something decent on gas. When I say decent, I mean nothing under 17 or 18 mpg. Im not going to sit here and say I want something with 1000whp and gets 50mpg.... I'm realistic. I am a little partial to honda but I want to get back to a RWD or AWD car if possible. Let me know whats out there.
