My wife and I are looking to get a second car. We love the boxy/goofy Japanese cars (and their American equivalents) from the 90s. Right now we have a small old truck, but are looking to get something with decent gas milage (25+ mpg), is cheap (< $6k), and is a little goofy. We’d mostly use it to get around town and go on medium length road trips (300-400 miles).

We looked at some Geo Trackers, but I’ve heard they don’t handle well on the freeway. We also test drive a Nissan March only (25k miles!) and it was pretty solid. Obviously struggled on sustained climbs at higher speeds, but that’s not a huge deal to us. We don’t care about going fast. We have been making road trips in our 80 HP truck no problem. We just go a lil slow.

Cars we’ve talked about:

Geo Tracker Geo Metro Suzuki Swift Fiat 500 Mazda MX-5 Mitsubishi Mirage Chevy Aveo Nissan March/Micra

Any ideas would be great! We are open to importing.
