If she already owns a Cavalier, most everything would be a step up.. except
maybe a Kia or Hyundai (no offense Andy) . I agree on the Stratus for 1st
choice.. Neons are larger inside than they look. My Fiancee's Lumina is
moderately roomy(about like a Stratus) but will also be doign good to make
100K miles.. It already had the motor rebuilt at 36K for excessive piston
slap. Service writer said "On a car with this many miles, it's just piston
slap"
a good little car that you may want to also consider, outside the
hybrids(those woudl be great) would be a Focus (Yes.. I know it's a Ford).
Personally.. I'd say to just stay with the first suggestion and have her get
a Stratus.
