Help me pick a new daily driver
Well currently i have over a 40mile commute every day, and then at LEAST a 200mile commute on the weekends. Ive moved down to mass for school, and family and friends are in NH.
I dont want to put all these miles on the evo. I need to get a daily driver, but theres some criteria for it.lol
good on gas
good in snow
still looks pretty cool
comfortable
Also, keep in mind i dont want to spend a TON, i mean ill spend a decent amount though. I dont want domestic, VW, or an eclipse(ive already owned 2 gsx's and would like something different)
Help me out guys!

I have a 40+ mile commute to work. Originally I had an audi a4 Avant which was constantly breaking down, and frankly got worse gas millage then the EVO.
I got rid of that POS and bought a prius when the gas prices spiked. The new POS prius is adiquate for the task of commuting. I get 44-46mpg and I beat the crap out of this POS prius. I bought the car with 124k miles on the odo, and so far with the 8k miles I have put on the car, the only maintenance has been a regular oil change.
The audi on the other hand, went into the shop for a new heater core, rear tranny seal, and had a bad injector replaced in the same 8k millage range...
I don't like the prius, but.... with the excellent gas millage, it keeps the evo on a 100 octane diet which make daily driving this boring POS prius worthwhile.
Oh yeah, and it holds a lot of crap in the back when the rear seats are down, more than most crossover SUV's
