    So I spent 5 hours at a Honda dealership today

    Have you looked into Hyundai at all? Their compacts are pretty competetive with the rest of the class. I picked up a certified 2010 Elantra about 8 or 9 months ago for 13K plus TTL. I've been averaging about 32 or 33 mpg so far. Quiet and comfortable. I like it.

    Off to buy a new car : how do I get the best price?

    Pretty sure Nissan is clearing out their 2012 Sentras, you could probably get a steal on one of those, around 13 or 14k. Keep you under her price point.

    2011 CPO Genesis or 2012 VW Passat TDI

    I just bought a CPO Elantra about a month ago, with a CPO you get the remainder of the bumper to bumper warranty and the remainder of the 10yr 100K powertrain as well. My car had about 40K miles on it so I get 20K bumper to bumper and 60K of powertrain warranty.

    Got a Prius C

    Keep us updated on mileage, and thoughts as you drive it more. I've thought about picking one of these up.

    The HP Folio is on sale at the microsoft store this weekend. Looks like it meets most of your requirements. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/pd/productID.243730000/parentCategoryID.44066900/categoryID.50787200/list.true?ClickID=dhckrnnttzxwxxy2n0orwcbkw2cnyro2shhx

    Favourite Top Gear Challenge?

    North Pole episode is pretty epic, that is the one that got me into Top Gear. That or Vietnam is hilarious as well.

    Time to bust out the studded tires again.

    Those look like sweet tires. I have ridden in the snow, but never with studded tires. No disc brakes?

    How confident are you with your car after 100,000 miles?

    198k on my 91 Honda Accord. I drive from Utah to California a couple of times a year. It's never left me stranded. Coming up on another timing belt change and it should be good to go.
