My 1991 Subaru Legacy bit the dust yesterday. Tranny's shot. Now I'm going to take out a home-equity loan and buy a new (used) car. I want something fuel-efficient, compact, and low-maintenance. Can spend $5-8K. I'm thinking Honda--I've always loved Hondas--but I thought I'd ask for ideas here (why not?). Anyone had any noteworthy personal experience with a used car in that price range?
