So I've decided I need to take the 914 off priority for a while and get myself one of them newer cars (used) that so many people seem to like to drive... I'll still work on my 914 on the side but as for now and the next few years I need something reliable for work, classes, etc.

Can anyone recommend anything?

I do have some basic requirements in mind...
Reliable/little work other than regular maintenance
4 or more seats
Good gas mileage (25+)
and a big plus would be some storage space for band gear (this leaves me with a hatchback in mind)

I've been checking out the Ford Focus and I like it pretty well... though I don't know the rap on them


My budget is somewheres about 5-6k


Can anyone help ?

Yeah, actually my dad owns a 2003 Blazer which I use for gigs and transporting band gear. It holds a lot for its smaller size compared to other SUV's. Once I had it crammed full of gear (minus a few drums) and still managed to pack 3 gals in the back seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Priorities...


lol BTDT! good times.

my buddy has a '03 Subaru Forester (AWD), turbo, lots of storage space, relatively low so loading/unloading is great, fast as hell, very dependable
