That’s really like asking should I buy a Buick or a Chevy, I believe they belong to the same parent company.

To: Mastador1; All

Thank’s very much for your responses! Most of them are very helpful.

My son has earned his new car. He’s been through the beaters, has done most of his own repairs, etc. He’s not a gearhead like his dad, but he learned quite a bit out of necessity. He has saved up most of the money to purchase; we’ll loan him the balance.

Our son is not a basement dweller. He maintains a 4.0 average at our local community college, and has earned a full scholarship to my alma mater for the next two years. We are very proud of him. It is annoying for someone who has never met my son (or me, for that matter) to offhandedly call him a basement dweller. Frankly, I resent that.

Further, he’s looking for a car that will get the best fuel mileage, not the most horsepower.

That’s my department.

Anyway, I truly appreciate your input.

Thank you!
