In the order of importance, the fuel mileage is first, then purchase price. The rest is in any order. We are about to purchase a new vehicle and we want one that will last and yet, is comfortable, reliable and cost effective to operate.

The most reliable car is not the ugly Aztec or the Prius, nor the Accord. The Accord is a great car and I would get one myself, but if I had a family and were looking at the characteristics that are important to you, I would look at at Toyota Camry.
Toyota's are great on gas, there is tons of leg room in the back, priced very well, comes with the standard 6 year warranty, and they resale well. Then again, the Camry will last forever. It's a very reliable car that only goes in for it's regular maintenance work like oil, and fluid changes. They are powerful and have a quiet engine. Trunk space - well you could put 6 or 7 adult bodies in it. The trunks spacious and deep. It does around 31 MPG on the highway which is awfully high. Most cars are ranked around 25 to 27 MPG highway.
The car is also a pleasure to drive. Handles very well, break distance is one of the best in it's class and the safety is ranked as one of the best 2nd only to Accord.
The Aztec is ugly, I don't know if it's suppose to be a Mini Van or an SUV. It's a vehicle with an identity crisis.

starting up out you purchase the computer at $800. one three hundred and sixty 5 days later the resale well worth is 35% a lot less. Multiply 800 by employing technique of (a million-.35) or .sixty 5. So that is worth $520 after three hundred and sixty 5 days one. the subsequent three hundred and sixty 5 days you'd be able to do the same with $520, so the cost is $338. regardless of the indisputable fact that the subsequent three hundred and sixty 5 days with the $338, so the cost on the accurate of three years is $219.70.

You probably need to give a bit more information.
Do you have children? How old are they? ; )
I own a Prius, seats four nicely. Gets great mileage.
Has a nice cargo area, handles well.
