That was my thought. And I figure that if I look around a bit I will probably even eventually find something with low miles.

Yeah, I was thinking that one of the F family vehicles might fit the bill.

I'll check them out.

I had a buddy with an A3. It was a nice little car. I wonder about the reliability of the Audi/vw family these days though.

Volvo, good call. How are they since China owns them?

Wife doesn't work, and we are going to be living very near downtown. We'll only be about 2.5 miles from my work and about 1/4 mile from a whole foods. She thinks that we can do it. I think maybe, but not certain. We'll see.
