Answer 2

My advice would be just pay for it in cash while in college. One less bill in college is better. Wait til you graduate to get a car payment. Pick up a nice reliable car for 4 g's and let it carry you through school. Pick up like a nice 2000 Cavalier or something. Get a 2 dr, they are sporty, they last forever and get great gas mileage. Sometimes you can find them with after market wheels, etc and it will have a unique look. Check the net, you can pick those things up all day for under 4 grand with not a ton of miles.

Answer 3

I don't really know about the pricing buttt. . .
The Toyota Yaris, even though it's a Japanese car, is decent-looking and gets AMAZING gas mileage. Like 30 or 35 to a gallon I think, which is mind boggling to me.
I just bought a Mazda 6 and while it only gets 25 mpg it's the cutest little thing and I love it. I got the smaller engine one if that helps.
Volkswagons are also good. The Jetta is decent-sized, not exactly the sportiest-looking car but it's really safe, and gets alright gas mileage I believe.
You could probably get like a Pontiac G6? I dunno about the gas mileage but it's a sharp-looking car.

Answer 4

I would get a Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord.

Answer 5

What about a jeep?
