Car shopping

We've started looking for a car for my daughter. she will be getting her license at the end of April and has already said that she wants to get a job this summer. So, she will be needing some wheels. Today we test drove a 2004 Ford Explorer. It was sweet and really wasn't too expensive, but she decided that she really wanted something smaller and that got better gas mileage. I don't blame her. With gas topping $2/gal. again, she would have been spending all of what money she earned on a car payment and gas. She wouldn't have had any extra money left over for fun. So, we're still looking. She is now saying that she would like something like a Ford Focus or maybe a Honda Civic. I'm sure we'll find something. Especially since we still have a couple of months to look.
