Hi guys,

This will be my very first car and I do have limited budget only. The only purpose for me buying a car is for my daily transpo needs going to and from the office and some occassional out of town trips with my loved ones. I am looking for a fuel efficient car too since gas prices are really high now. I would like something that looks really good and will last me a long time. I am planning to keep this for another 5 years or so. Would like AT transmission too. After searching online I have these as my options.

97 Civic LXi
97 Civic VTi
99-01 City (not really sure what model)
97-01 Lancer (not really sure what model)
Nissan sentra (the newest possible)
Ford Lynx (the newest possible)
Chevy Optra (the newest possible)

I am planning to get one before the month ends. Your inputs will be greatly appreciated. TIA!
