And it's driving me crazy! My stupid Chrysler minivan is on its last leg (needing a transmission for the second time in 30,000 miles). I'm looking for something small and gas efficient but that will fit 2 car seats (front facing) in the back. I need something reliable and not really ugly (like, nasty interior or crazily fading paint, because I'm a tiny bit picky). I am partial to Hyundai and Honda, and will not even consider a Chrysler/Dodge. Beyond that I'm open minded. My absolute maximum is $4000, which I'm willing to spend if I find some awesome deal. I'd rather spend around $2500. If anybody here hears of/has anything fitting my description please let me know! I'm afraid to drive very far from my house for fear of my van leaving me stranded in the middle of the interstate or something. Last time the transmission died I managed to coast into the dealership; coincidentally I was right there next to it. Oh, and I'll pay cash obviously
