i'd say an older (like, '03-'07) toyota camery would be better. those cars are solid. seriously. i'm driving a 2000 camery. few major problems. now, the engine was replaced about 5 months ago, because i blew it up, but at the time it had 160000+ miles on it. they're cars to buy and use for years upon years
