I'm old and I've driven hot Chevrolet's all my life. The older you get the more sensible you become. Our last new car was a Toyota (04) Camry SE. The SE version has a better suspension package, springs, struts and sway bar combination. All this means that the body does not roll or lean over as much as the LE version. It's totally up to you however. Our 4 cylinder Camry gets 35 mpg. on trips 27 in town. Do you live where there is a lot of snow? I'm talking 6 - 8 inches. Will you be traveling on unplowed roads? Does your state use salt on their roads? Consider these things because any front wheel drive car responds well to all season year round or snow tires during the winter. If your ever interested to shop for tires on line go to tirerack.com. I've gotten tires from them for 20 yrs. Great and helpful people. Take a ride in a Camry they are tight and quiet. Good Toyota's have great resale value also as they depreciate less than 95% of cars in America. I'd personaly skip the Hybrid model. They cost an additional $5000.00 more. Math will show it will take over 50,000 miles to realize enough gasoline savings to pay off the added 5 grand that you paid initally. Good luck, & happy car hunting.

You haven't given anything near enough infrmation for us to help you.
What's your budget?
Will it be expected to carry just you or a few friends, family, pet, luggage etc.?
Do want a sports car, small car, hatchback, saloon, MPV, 4x4 or something a little special?
As a default have a look at Volkswagen Polo; Skoda Fabia; Vauxhall Corsa (very popular with 20-something females).
Don't touch small Fiats with a barge pole unless you want backache after an hours driving.
Whatever you choose also consider fuel consumption, the insurance cost and the road tax group.

Begin your shopping over the internet. It is a great place to identify the type of car, costs, features, etc without wasting a lot if time looking in person. Once you have identified all of the features you desire and can afford, go to local web pages like autotrader.com, cars.com, ebay, yahoo.com, etc to find one for sale in your area.

Autotrader site is a great one for comparing motors. Jeeps are notoriously unreliable. A good Range Rover or similar might suit you. You can keep your dogs in the back too.

Get a good hardwearing car that will last like a Ford or VW.
