Hi there!

I'm shopping for a car. And I'm asking for advice to my fellow 
internetworkers.

What brands do you like? What are to be  avoided? Who are the best 
dealers in the Triangle?

So far, I've seen and liked the Volkswagen Polo TDi (49 mpg on highway). 
Yes, a modern turbo-diesel, 5-speed, compact car. With ABS, 6 airbags, 
cd-player...Do you like it? Do you own it?

What other compact cars do you like? I know, SUVs and trucks are great, 
but... I'd rather go with a compact car.

A no-no kind of car is a car running Microsoft WindowsCE, like those 
pesky Mercedes. (it would be incompatible with my RedHat sticker).

C'mon. I know y'all drive cars. I know that you battle I-40 everyday. 
Let me know what do you think. I wold specialy appreciate lifetime / 
longtime Northcarolinians, for their experience with local car dealers 
and knowledge of business in the Tarheels state (*).

(*) You know me, I like airplanes. And aviation was born *here*. I also 
like soccer ("football"), and Carolina Courage are pretty good. I can 
even find real "jamon" at Southern Seasons. It cannot get better than 
this.



Salut,
Josep
