My first car was a Violet/Magenta Mazda Millenia 92'. Called her violet. Passed down from my dad. Loved that car, had a steering wheel that tilted up after I pulled out the keys, great for my really long legs. Too bad it blew a head gasket with 160,000...
Then I picked up a slightly used '08 Blue Nissan Versa hatchback. Love this car, great gas mileage. The hatchback is AWESOME for a college student. I throw whatever in there. Just picked up my roommate last week who had a flat tire on his bike. Threw it in the back, no problem. It's a tiny car, but it has a LOT of interior room. People sit in it thinking it's going to be a cramped fit, and they are pleasantly surprised that there is a lot of room. I have the driver's seat pushed all the way back, and a tall person can sit comfortably in the back seat. Filling up at the gas tank is a good experience, light on the wallet :-)
