What kind of car would best make my daily commute safe, comfortable, and cost-effective?
I have purchased car after car from Saturn of Glenview. They have terrific models new under $15K, but better yet they always have great used buys, from “the guy drove it off the lot and brought it right back” to a few years old. And you will not believe how wonderful the buying experience is at Saturn. All the ads are true (Of course, I buy all my cars with cash; I’ve never had to finance a car through the dealer, so that may be where they obnoxious part comes in) One thing about Saturns: mine have been absolutely maintenance free for 120K miles, then they fall apart all at once. YMMV My 2004 Ion (purchased last year for $8,500 with 11,000 miles on it) gets 28mph using moderate hypermiling (all streets–very little highway).
