The most reliable car I've ever had is my 02 Saturn Vue with the 4-cylinder 5-spd manual. It gets 25 - 28 MPG and is roomy. Just be sure to stay away from the automatic cars. One of the nice things about the ECOTEC 4 is it has a timing chain, rather than a timing belt, so there are no expensive services at 100K mile intervals.
