With a "twin-stick" transmission and 1.6l engine, you get very good performance and also good fuel efficiency. My Colt just passed 51k miles with no mechanical breakdowns. I've never been without transportation because of this car, which is something I never expected to be able to say about any car. Of course, I do care for the car relatively by the book, etc., but that should go for any vehicle. Anyway, a Colt is relatively inexpensive, not luxurious, but quite comfortable. You should have no trouble with legroom and headroom unless you are over 6'3" tall (that's my height, and I wouldn't want to be taller, but I don't feel cramped now). Anyway, enough testimonializing. Good luck on your hunt.... Marion Hakanson CSnet: hakanson@oregon-state UUCP : {hp-pcd,teklabs}!orstcs!hakanson
