Is there a single car that looks good and gets good mileage? AND doesn't cost a ton?

I would go grand prix with a 3800. It will get 28 or so and doesn't look bad. You should stay american because I like my job! The 3800 gets great gas milage. It is also one of the best motors ever made. I think mini are awesome butmost people don't.

If mixed or city, wow. I wouldn't expect that out of car of that size. They are fairly good looking vehicles as well.

If you buy a focus, make sure to get a stick shift. Though it's nothing link my Z-28, it satisfies a little bit of what I missed after going to a slowpoke Civic. The stick just makes it a little more fun and it's a surprisingly gutsy 4 cylinder. that will get you between 28-32 mpg.

Eh... ok?
That wasnt exactly what I was saying. I didn't say I wanted to stay American. Did I say I wanted to retain power? I said I would be more of a lead foot with the firebird cause it's a smaller engine moving the same car. I don't have anything against honda, they make a great vehicle (I ride one). When they do it to american cars, they dont look riced out, they look straight up retarded. I'm not that narrow minded btw.. Really, in the end I just meant that after all the work and money, in order to make it somewhat good looking for a low price I'll end up having to buy a car with damage, buy crappy fiberglass parts from ebay, do the work in my garage, and end up *hopefully* even with what I sold the TA for. Kinda turns out to be a hell of a project just to get something half way good looking for cheap.
You don't have to get all defensive...

You know what, screw you. You asked and I gave you what are great looking cars with good gas milage. Get yourself a damn Focus if you want to stay American, you are still an idiot to think you will get good gas milage and HP from American cars. I forgot that only hondas are riced out POS huh. You never see American cars that way oh no. F you and your narrow minded POS thinking.

Holy hell I know what I'm going to do.
You are right, those aren't too ugly after some modification, that is. I found one with a little rust, a smashed up bumper and 112k miles for a hair under 4 thousand. I might be able to talk him down to 3500. 400 dollar shipped body kit and some paint done by me, and some rims from my buddy and I'll be happy as a clam. Thank you!
