Any thoughts on it? My car has kicked the proverbial bucket, and I'm on the lookout. Only problem is, I'm buying a house in 4 months and having a wedding at the same time, so I'm not large on cash.

I'm looking for something with 4 doors and decent gas mileage since I live outside of DC and traffic sucks donkey here (and the dead car is a Saturn, so I'm used to a gas mileage average of 32+. Not much is that high, but higher than 23,24 is acceptable).

Reliability is key, since I put probably 18-20,000 miles on a car per year, so it either has to be low on miles at the beginning or be one of those cars that can keep kicking after 150.

Thoughts are most generously welcomed. And as you see from the dead car, style isn't even that important.
