RF: I have a CR-V I'd sell to you reasonably, lol!

J/K...

A reasonable list of wants and cars, though I suspect that 20 mpg in the city is out of reach for a few of them, in real world drivng:
eg CR-V never gets 20 in AWD model I have. Though CR-V has v.high crash rating, tremendous resale, (don't know why), great motor, spartan int, though the '05s are better. I could go on and on about CR-V, if you get close to one and want more 2cts on that car.
Other opins, off top of my cabeza:
Focus...good mpg, safety rating?, kinda chintzy in base form.
Accord, Jetta, et al...pretty pricey for an around town shit&git car,imo.
Mazda 6 wagon...pretty good reviews and the stlrs here are really dealing on'em.

Let me think some more, while I'm swapping winter wheels for summer wheels and tars, down in the "sheltered workshop", very slow, Nascar-like, learning ctr, aka the garage!
