I went american, but for different reasons...
My choice car back in 96 would have been an eclipse, but my 6'1" frame @ 215 pounds didn't fit without a shoehorn.
I tried mazda 626, acura integra, toyota celica. same problem. I then sat in a dodge avenger, it was love at first seat.
honestly, I don't fit in small cars. I think there are alot of us out there. The japs make small cars that get great gas mileage and decent performance.
If i could have afforded a german car, I would have. The car it was replacing, BTW, was a 1980 Volvo 244DL that had 540,000 miles on it when I finally retired it in 1988 Now that is a vehicle!
