Best cars for Davis-area roads?

[zmgmeister.livejournal.com]

My car is approaching end-of-life, and I'm wondering if there's a car made that actually feels comfortable to drive on the roads around here. I'm getting a -very- harsh ride on the roads in and out of Davis and its a little embarassing when picking somebody up to visit. Trying to avoid that with the next car.

The OB-Davis content: We all drive on the same unevenly patched roads in and out of Davis, so when somebody says they can drive Mass Ave or Boston Ave and not feel a thing, that's a strong recommendation.

Yeah, I have to recommend toyota as well, I have about 5 friends with toyotas and I myself have a camry. You will probably want an automatic unless you drive rather sparsely. Also a smaller car will obviously be easier to park, so a corolla or a yaris wouldn't be bad unless you want more space.

That said, if I had it to do over again I would at least look at the deals on a new Ford. Ford is actually in really good shape compared to GM/Chrysler and are putting out their best product in years, but you could probably get an insane deal on a new one right now. 0% financing plus the Brand New factor might be enough to offset the probably drop in resale value and reliability vs. a toyota.
