Wow!

Thank you guys!

S a few leasssons learned here:

1.- do not buy Ford cars
2.- Honda, Subaru & Geman cars are good
3.- do not buy US-designed cars
4.- japanese and german engineers are nice
5.- Saturn is an excption to 3
6.- Honda's are made in Canada and in the US of A
7.- Subaru is a pretty good car, although with lower milleage
8.- you guys love big engines!
9.- do not buy US-engineered cars
10.- there's not many owners of VW in the list

Anyway, after this lessons, some more info about the car hunting.

I don't care about high-sport or very-fast cars. I already got a speeding 
ticket driving a slow SUV. If I wanted to go fast, I'll go back to a Kawasaki 
motorcycle. With a 65 mph speed (slowness?) limit, anyhting can do.

I'm looking for a high-milleage car . This is why the 49 mpg is so attractive 
to me. With +600 milles with ~14 gallons I can do plenty o' drivin' before 
hitting a gas station. And contrary of what Dave has said, I'm seeing plenty 
of Diesel pumps around.

Safety is a concern. So ABS, airbags and such are my call. All those deers 
running across highways...

Now, what about repairs/maintenance? Are you shelling a lot for maintenance? 
Are you doing it yourselves?


Thank you again.



Salut,
Josep
