Saver Corolla

Whats goin on guys, good Gas Saver car under $8,500?

Really don't want the Civic. 2000+ year.
Corolla is the best gas milaege so far. 32-40 mpg.

I'm not looking for the BEST. but a fun car that gets say 30-35.

Jetta turbo actually failed. I though it'd be real good. But, i need better gas milaege, better then 22-28! This car is for work, but then 'm joning the military off to flight school for the army.

So this is just an average car. Please. Don't refer to any Hyundai, Kia Etc!

true corolla has the best fuel mileage.
alternatives I'd recommend: mazda protege or mitsu galant (pre 04).
Its a really fun car to drive and fuel mileage is pretty good, getting 27-32 mpg is easy. Nissan sentra is also a decent choice.
Protege is my favorite. While I agree that the mileage at 27-35 is nowhere near the corolla, consider this: a protege cost a lot less than a corolla or civic, expect to spend about 25-40% less (ex: an 00 protege cost about 4-5k, compared to 00 civic or corolla's 6-8k), and insurance also cost less. such price gap is enough to compromise a little fuel econ imo.
goodluck
