My little old lady car, 1992 Oldsmobile Sierra Cutlass in light tan, took me all the way to California and back without one problem. It did great on gas mileage even when I had to pay 2.43.9 a gallon once in California. When I told our mechanic of 25 years that I was planning on driving it, he immediately said, "No problem!" So now I've added 4000 miles to the odometer making the total around 68,000.

I just re-read this thread and noticed a few mentions of the negative side of automatic door locks. I have owned several cars with this feature (my current one locks the doors when you reach 15 mph.) I have always been able to hit the unlock button after it auto-locks and the doors will unlock and stay unlocked until you lock them again (it only auto-locks them the first time you go over 15 mph in that session of driving.)

Under most circumstances I just let them stay locked, but my cousin was involved in an accident in her car with the doors and windows all locked and when the car was disabled she couldn't even manually open the door locks. The EMTs had to break into the car to release her. This was several years ago so I am assuming they have corrected this problem in newer cars.

I drive a 1992 white (dirty) Toyota Camry with a sunroof (that was important) and it only has about 80,000 miles on it.. and that includes my two month trip where I hit three coasts (Pacific from Orange County to Solano county, Atlantic from Brunswick, Maine to south of Washington DC and Missippi Gulf Coast.. I still love the car but would like a hybrid car, if I can get my hands on one (and the money to pay for it) and if I can get it with a sunroof..

I drive a green 1996 Nissan 200SX with almost 150,000 miles on it.

My neighbors (I mean the people that live next door to me because they do not act like neighbors) drive.... me crazy.

The dh drives a '96 Nissan Sentra that will probably keep going forever. The color is called Midnight Blue, but it's always looked pukey purple to me!!

Maesin drives a Toreador Red 2000 Ford Explorer Sport that she loves to death. Last week, she had a moment of lust over a Jeep Wrangler, but came to her senses when the Explorer went into pout mode.

As of TWO DAYS AGO, I own a 2004 Beetle. It's Satellite Blue and is a Special Edition. This is my 7th VW since I first starting driving during the Ice Age.

I tried so many cars, I was going nuts. I found the Mini to be restrictive and felt very closed in. Both Maesin and I had problems with our knees hitting the steering wheel. I'm really curious how those who've bought it like it after driving it for a while. My friend in England loves hers. Maesin and I were so disappointed when we tried it out. I'd done the whole 'build it yourself' online and really thought the Mini would be 'the one!'

Kstme -- We also have a VW -- a Golf 1.8T. I've never been disappointed in the MINI -- in fact, I've been quite impressed since we got ours 2 years ago. Honestly, I feel like the room in the front seats of the MINI are the same as the VW. The back seats are another story -- sitting in the back of the MINI is horribly squished, but we just treat it like a 2-seater and don't use the back seats for anything but transporting shopping bags, etc.

Hope you like your beetle!

Thanks so much for your input, Yankee!

It's a very long story, but I haven't driven in almost 3 years. This was a BIG step for me to take and I'm having so much fun!

That's a beautiful car! Wow admin! I've never seen one of those before. Until I read what it was, I thought it was a Corvair. Is that what the Heart song "Barracuda" is about?

I know the song but I don't think it refers to this make of car. It is however a popular song among Barracuda owners!

Great car Kstme! And I see it is getting the royal treatment <lol>

Golly Admin, I haven't seen a Barracuda in a long time. I was trying to describe one to my ds about a week ago. Wish I had checked here first, then I could have shown yours to him.

THANKS Everyone!! I swear, I'm beaming! The pic with Ollie shows the blue on the inside of the rims. Maesin took the pic...she thought he was being cute, I didn't think so!
