Looking for a good used car
I drive a 2005 Scion XA, or at least I used to until an 18 wheeler threw a tread at it. Thinking I want a little more substantial car, but I'm still attached to good gas mileage.
Thinking about a Mazda 3. If I could wait a year or two a used Prius V would be nice. ( I dislike the visual rear view line in the current crop of used Prius cars). I like a flat cargo area in the back that lets me see the stars. Yeah, I'm a tiny person who can stretch out in the back of an XA.
I did not care much for the Hyundai cars I looked at. Have yet to look at the Hondas.. The Fits were a lot more than the XAs and I could not see spending the difference at the time. May go look at an Element.
Any other suggestions?
