AC/DC and Harris had the best suggestions........If you are still in school, without a permanent job, it would be real hard to finance a car, and full coverage insurance on top of it is a back breaker...talking of experience, I bought a Honda Accord 92 back in 2000 and it still runs good, sure beats newer models in Gas efficiency, and maintenance.....Camry is good too ! No Mazda or Nissan if I were you !
