    Default Need opinions for a daily driver

    For those of you who check out the "car sale" section, you know I'm trying to sell my Integra. Long story short, I'm going into business where I need a daily driver for my work. I'll be doing alot of driving around Metro Atlanta. I've been looking around trying to find some but only have a couple of ideas. I'm looking for something good on the mileage, around $5-6K, and not a complete turd. I'm leaning towards an EK hatch.

    What do you guys think?

    Get a clean 1995 Civic VX and leave it alone.

    *EDIT*

    unless you think the VX is a turd.

    Unfortunately I'm not looking for another boosted vehicle. I'm looking for another car because my Integra is not an ideal daily driver. I guess I should have elaborated. It's a 99, turbo, LS/VTEC, JDM front, loud, blah, blah, so on and so forth. I'm looking for something to get me from point A to point B. If the business venture goes well, I can buy something else on top of my daily driver.

    or a Nissan Maxima - or a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Accord. Not a turd, but more luxurious and comfy for a DD

    Yaris would be great too...stylish and economical. It's pretty loaded for an entry level car too isn't it?

    4 cylinder Ranger. You know why, killer gas mileage, great for packaging stuff in the bed, and you can go on dirt roads, over sidewalks w/ ease, thru creeks lol, etc. There engines last easily over 200,000 miles.

    That's not a bad idea. I don't think i'll be doing any off-roading or driving over anything crazy. I'll just be going to bodyshops and peoples houses. I guess depending on whose house I go to, I might have to drive over sidewalks or dirt roads.
