SlvrTarantula has a little shameless behaviour in the past
if not Honduh or Toyota, go domestic.

you don't want to buy a truck. even with a v6 instead of a v8. it's still going to guzzle.

i would say buy a cavalier (since its cheap on gas and insurance) but I really can't recommend a piece of like that.

honestly, buy a civic. its the best balance.

and if you don't care looking like a douche bag, buy a toyota corolla.

Yeah toyota corollas are strong cars, great engine and awesome gas milage. But their styling sucks.

I would suggest seeing if you can take public transportation to school, might be cheaper, and less stressfull then commuting in rush hour.
