Question:
I'm currently driving a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire which is literally falling apart.
How long does a D.O.T. physical take, and what all do they do to a person?
The next car I purchase needs to be something affordable, hopefully somewhat fuel-efficient, and preferably not a death-trap. I'm a single, 20-year-old woman with no plans on having children any time soon. I'm planning on becoming a teacher, so the money may be an issue. I'm kind of a hippie/environmentalist, so I'd prefer not to get some giant gas-guzzler.

In regards to reliability, it is rating higher than the new Camry. I'm providing a link for that as well. According to JDPower the TGW number (Things Gone Wrong) has placed the Fusion on the top of it's class for reliability beating out the Accord and Camry (providing a link for that as well).
Consumer Reports said a similar thing as well, but I only quote JDPower since it's the automotive research authority and takes a much higher sample data. Also, no recalls on the Fusion to date, as oppose to the Camry's 2 so far.

My 1990 Mitsubishi Galant LS is a pretty good little car. I get about 300-315 miles to a tank of gas, and she is reliable! Another good car is a Toyota Corolla.What color are the cars have you owned and which was your favorite?
toyota camry or honda civic if your looking for american brands the chrysler 300 ford focus or the chevy cavalierYou sound like a candidate for a Honda Civic. It meets all of your requirements and has pretty good resale value too. I'm not sure what you mean by "not a death trap" though. Some people think anything smaller than an Escalade is a death trap. Other people (like me) think the safest cars are ones with good handling, good brakes and reasonably peppy performance.

You know that any car is a potential "death trap".Safest most efficient car? The one that is parked.

True not economicals, but that is because you got some extra metal strength to protect you.
Economical cars are lighter, which means less protection per se. Against a dump truck, it doesn't really matter what you were driving.
So it is a mindset. If you drive a little car - you don't drive aggressively. - You don't have to be the first one there...yada yada-
Realize too that small eco cars are not as obvious on the road especially if they are greyish.(road,cement color)
What should i buy? sports car or 4x4 ?
better get a Japanese car. they are the most economical, and most reliable. last very long.More Questions & Answers ...
