Default off topic: new car advice for senior

You'd be hard pressed to GIVE me a Mitsu. My daughter bought an
Elantra GT. Nice car. A lot less money than my second daughter's Honda
Civic too.


On our honeymoon in Quebec City I rented a first generation Dodge Colt,
which was a rebadged Mitsubichi, figuring a compact would be a little
better for navigating the city than the Continental. I'd driven up in
the Conti, cruising at 100 mph while my bride snoozed. With the Colt,
every time I got up past 25 she started having a panic attack.

In that thing a jaunt up to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre was a real adventure.
