Consider the Jetta. They aren't cheap to buy, new or used, but they do get good mileage. Most are into the 50's, depending on how heavy the foot is. Get a 5 speed. The body's hold up fairly well. By proportion, there's probably more old Jetta's on the road here in Nova Scotia than any other car. Although rust will get them in the end. It just takes longer. There's a fleet of these cars on my road (live in the boonies), and more than a few clocked over 600 km before the bodies fell apart. They're good reliable cars, and with the turbo models, they don't take a back seat to too much on the road. Just keep the oil changed, and do the timing belt as recomended, or it'll break and smash the valves. FWIW,
