hey if you want a dependabla beater get a 2.0L or 2.2L corsica they get like 35 miles to the gallon and dont have enough power to brake anything. so they are very dependable! im a corsica guy for life...lol

I wanted to get a TDI jetta for a DD but a descent one is at least 8 grand. I just can't see myself in those little mileage getting cars. Only reason I liked the jetta is because its a diesel <-(which is also getting outrageous).
