Guys have got me thinking abt an out of warranty Honda or Toyota. I have $4K I wanted to put down, but I might just put $2K down and keep $2K for a repair fund later and enjoy a better car. Going to drive the Scion tomr...the only reason I'm thinking about it over an Elantra is it seems like a fun to drive car. Pure conjecture as I haven't driven it before but we'll find out this wknd. I was surprised by the '08 gen Elantra, the engine was on and it was dead quiet inside..I had to double check to make sure it was on. Felt nice on acceleration as well, but it seems a bit boring.

There's just too much uncertainty around Mini's. I have heard a lot of bad things abt them (more than good things), so I don't want to chance it. I generally hate paying $ for repairs beyond normal maint., I don't see a point in throwing $ into repairing a 60k mi.+ car unless I know I'm going to get another 40k trouble free out of it.
