it is time...

Apparently the exhaust system on the VW is on the verge of falling off. We've been given the estimate that it would take $2200 to fix this. Seems like throwing good money after bad, at this point, considering everything...

So, sooner than expected, I am very much in the market for a new car. Parameters: 4-door, preferably hatchback, reliable, good gas mileage (but NOT a Prius, uh-uh, no way).

Opinions (and test drives!) of cars fitting these parameters welcome.

I would say definitely test drive the Mazda 3. We liked the Honda Fit in theory, but the hatch is pretty small. That may work for you, though.

I also test drove a Mazda 3 recently. Liked the Subaru slightly better, but the Mazda was nice.
