I don't know if this will help you at all, but here is my free advice: I've learned in the last few years that it is much more cost effective to buy a vehicle that is at least 3 to 5 years old with 50k miles on it. Why? Let someone else drive the big depreciation out of it! Instead of buying a new van for $25k, we took a few months to search and found a '97 Caravan with 56k on it for less than a third the price of the new one. It still has 90% of the features of a new one at much less cost (buying, insuring, and licensing are all cheaper!). For me, the mid-90's Civic is an awesome car for economy. Get the low-end model (coupe or hatchback for light weight) with the lower-power engine and manual tranny and make the mid to upper 30's for gas mileage. I have a 94 del Sol S myself with the 104 horsepower 1.5 and a 5-speed and average 42 miles per gallon! That includes in town, freeway, and interstate driving. In the mountains on interstate it lowers to the mid-30's. I really like my del Sol because it makes econo-box mileage and has some style instead of being ugly like a Metro, etc.
