 I got Manson, my tercel, from my grandparents.  I learned how to drive in it and it's great for driving and has awesome fuel economy, but it kinda kills my hotness scale.  It's a great car for learners who don't really car about their image. Had to replace the cardboard speakers. Make sure you don't get in any accidents, because the car will be creamed and the car you hit will only have minor damage.  So overall, great car and wonderful gas mileage if you don't get in accidents and don't care about being called a grandma on the road.
