[net.consumers] A Practical Car?

klein@ucbcad.UUCP (03/20/85)

I am looking for what seems to be a dream car.  Something with:
	- 4 doors and a big trunk
	- Not too many gadgets to break
	- The low maintenance cost of a Toyota (or Honda, Mazda)
	- The performance and handling of a VW Jetta
	- The back-seat room and overall comfort of a Toyota Camry
	- Under $15,000.

Is there such a thing?  Can I buy something close (like a Camry) and
fix up the suspension?  I have looked at VW (all models), Saab, Volvo,
Audi, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda and none satisfies everything.  Is there
something I'm missing?  Maybe I'm just being unrealistic.
