New cross-country car for college?

Question:
I have an '88 Ford Taurus station wagon. It's a great city car and hasn't given me much trouble, but this fall I'm going to college. The thing is, though, I'm going to be driving anywhere from 800 to 2,000 miles to go to college, and I don't really trust the Taurus to go through such a journey several times a year. (i.e. Kansas City to Seattle) So I need a replacement with the following features:

Will it take me off road?


1) Extremely reliable
2) Enough room for two passengers and their dorm stuff
3) Reasonable gas milage (25+ mpg @ 75 mph)
4) Dirt cheap (preferably under 5K)
5) Safe
6) Decent alternator for my audio gear : ) (although I can always install a new one)

does anyone know how i would go about getting a brand new digger from japan to ireland?


The obvious choice is the Honda Civic, but I'm certainly open to any suggestions. And yes, I take good care of my cars.

I have inherited a large amount of antique cars and parts what is the best way to sell them ?

the civic is a good choice as you mentioned...other than that I would choose a toyota corolla, which is comparable.

I don't think you are going to find a new car for under 5k. I have a 97 Nissan Hardbody. It gets about 25 mpg average, I bought it for 5k cash in 2002. I have never had a problem with it. You can fit two people in it comfortably, and I have driven it long distances before. (I live in Arkansas, and I have drove it to Wisconsin, central Texas, and West Virginia.) The guy that had it before me drove it to Oregon.
