Proposed Budget: < $30000
New or Used: New
Body Style: 4 door
How will you be using the car?: Shopping 2-3 times a week in urban areas with family (wife and baby). Occasional highway 1-2 hr trips. Occasional trips to ski slopes (mountain, icy/snowy roads).
What aspects are most important to you? Reliability, mileage, and comfort. My wife gets carsick easy, so a smooth ride is preferable. I'm tall so having enough leg room in the driver seat would be good.

I use ZipCar at the moment and the Honda Civics tend to work well, but they feel a big cramped in terms of leg room. Parents have a Camry which is pretty comfortable, but has so-so mileage. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to cars, so I'm looking for more informed opinions.

Also, I'm not particularly set on buying new. Mainly, I'm leaning towards new because I would know the history, have a nice warranty, and possibly be able to get some convenient gadgets in the car.

Have you driven a Prius? You sould like exactly the kind of customer who wants a Prius, especially if you worry that a Camry has mediocre mileage.

I think I may have a few years back before ZipCar started using the Civics in my area. If I remember, it ran into the leg-space problem. I'll defiantly look into a Prius though.
