My little brother will be getting his license around December and because my current baby was passed down from my mom, it has to be passed down to my brother.
Which leaves me funding my own car (hence the savings goal of $20,000). I'm going to buy used and I think I found my new baby- a 2001 Honda Insight. It's a hybrid that gets 61 mpg city and 68 mpg highway.
Because we live in an area that gets snow (about 1-2 feet every year) I want a car that does well in the snow. My mom has a Toyota and my dad a Honda and both have come to my rescue when I get stuck in the snow (I drive a Dodge).
The Insight is priced between $10-12,000 (according to the Kelly Blue Book) and I was looking for something that was under 10K. But I think I can make an exception.
The only problem I will have is that it's a manual and I've only driven automatic. I will obviously have to learn how to drive a stick-shift before I test drive one.
I won't be buying a car until my brother gets his license so I still have a few months to research more cars.

That 61-68 mpg will save you a ton of money!
Good Luck!

Realistically though, if I have a choice, I am more likely to end up with a Yaris, but that's just me.
