    My car died on me last night. Damn thing overheated on me while on the way to work. Luckily, I was at least able to get it home. Now I must take the plunge and go out and buy a new one. Anyone have any car suggestions as to what kind I should get?

    What's your budget?
    How old is your current car?
    How many miles?

    Civics are nice, but I prefer the Accord. The gas mileage is just slightly less, but the car is much more roomier. Either way, you can't go wrong with a Honda.

    My second car was an Accord, and I loved it so. But I'd go with the Civic -- depending on the size of your family. I'm a single guy, so the Civic was the right choice for me.

    I have also heard Hyundai's are pretty good as well.

    I didn't like the one, an '05 Elantra maybe, I drove. It seemed like a toy, and the dash looked very, very cheap. Hondas are superior to Hyundais.

    Hyundai is also defunct. I've heard good things about their Korean successor, Kia. Cheap little cars. Long ass warranties.

    They're still selling Hyundais and Kias though, aren't they?

    Kia is thriving last I heard. Hyundai is defunct. I'm sure you can buy a used one, but they're not making new Hyundais from what I understand.
