Ok...well January has 1 week to go and that leaves me with 4 months to search for a Taurus/Sable to purchase this summer. I dont have that much money to work with (~$3000 max). THis car is going to be driven mainly at speeds of 25-65. To get outa my "neighborhood/community" onto US 17, i have all of about 50 feet to get going to ~60mph. As i have read in the forums, the trannys in the t/s dont like to be driven very hard. Thats about the only time the tranny would have to work hard. So that brings me to this question...I need a car thats gona be able to handle being driven to school and back etc. (about 120mi/week) and be able to handle this area (there are NO Hills). What car has the best engine/tranny combo out there? And help/info would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: For insurance purposes and the climate i will need the car to have ABS, Dual Airbags, Automatic Tranny, and A/C
