She talk you into a date yet? IIRC, you guys have been engaged longer
than Marci & I, and she's already got me lined up and halfway down the
plank :)

On that list, I'd say probably the Stratus first, then it's a toss-up
between space & economy on the other two. My cousin has a Neon SXT and
loves it. The clutch is really light (or seemed that way - I didn't get
to actually drive it, and I'm used to my truck. The Exploder my friend
taught me on had something like a 60-pound clutch and I *liked* that).

How about a Civic or Corolla (I was unsuccessful in talking Marci into
either of those)? Or if she can swing the sticker price, go for the
ultimate in economy - Toyota Prius. There's a hybrid Civic out there
somewhere too.

Marci has an '03 Hyundai Elantra and /she/ really, really likes it.
