[net.auto] Small cars recomendations needed

dub@pur-phy.UUCP (Dwight U. Bartholomew) (09/06/84)

	I am hoping to buy a new car for under 9 to 10K and I've narrowed
it down to      a) Chevy Cavalier
		b) Honda Civic
		c) Toyota Corolla
	Basic features are  4 door sedan, A.C., 5 speed manual.
I realize that I can look up in Consumer Reports for a lot of facts,
but I'd sure like some personal insight as well.
	Things I'm looking for:
		Roominess inside (as much as can be expected
					from a compact car)
		Reliable and energetic engine
		Reasonable price
		Good performance
(mail responses to me)

	By the way, to that person who bought the '85 Camry.  Assuming
that you just got a good deal on your trade-in, did you get the car
for the retail price or higher?  I've heard from other people who
looked at Camry's that dealers were slapping on some sort of extra
import charge.
