gas mileage isnt everything... volkswagens have a lot of problems and are expensive to fix. toyota's are the most dependable cars on the road. scion is made by toyota, thats the main reason my girlfriend bought one.

Matt, I am in the same situation. I need a car that gets good fuel economy, I do not want anything dorky and I want to spend around 16k.
I am buying a 2003 Saab 9-3 most likely. You can buy them all day long with low miles in that price range. And, they are loaded, have 210 hp and get 30+ on the highway. They are neat cars if you are in to them.
For my money, I would not waste my time with a Scion or any of that crap. I do like the Mazdas, but you will not find one for 16k. A nice equipped new 3 runs around 18.5 and the dam used ones around here go for too much.
I would drive a 9-3 any day of the week over a Mazda, but I still like them too.
