We are in the process of looking at cars. Both of our vehicles are getting older, and neither one of us is a mechanic. Soooo... what do we buy? We have a truck and a minivan at this point in time, and we plan on keeping both (Jim can choose which he wants to drive to work). Therefore we have the option of a smaller vehicle, if we so desire. We have looked at wagons, small SUVs, and even those little crossovers. At the top of our list, the Honda CR-V or the Subaru Forester/Outback. (Of course, someday we'll look at MGs and Jaguars, right?)
The deals offered lately have been tempting - employee price plus customer cash? It makes a new vehicle the same price as a slightly used one. (What is the use of us buying anything that isn't slightly used? We want to get something that won't need work anytime soon!) We've browsed Carmax, and would probably buy there if we choose used - one of our friends is a mechanic there.
Someday soon we will have to brave the dreaded car dealers...

They always have deals when the new cars come out, and the 2006 cars are appearing now. 7 1/2 years ago we bought the van from Pugh Dodge, where Dad C. had "worked" (I think it was all play for him!), so they gave us a good deal without having to haggle. No such luck this time...
You should buy a Saab 900. We have only had to replace an engine, timing belt, transmission, CV joint, exhaust, power window motor, moon roof motor, antenna, headliner, and paint job.
So, you still recommend the Saab??? Jim acually pointed out that there is a "wagon" by them, the 9-2x? I haven't even looked at it yet!
I saw one in the mall parking lot with this license plate:
