What car would you get for under $6,000 to do a 120 mile round trip commute?

- Miata if you fit and want something that is also fun to drive. I owned a 1994 Miata and it was fine on the highways. It's only down side was it had a pretty big blind spot if you had the soft top up.
- Civic coupe if you want something with a little more space and maybe a tad more comfortable.

Suck as in they're 2200 lbs and driving by semis can be very scary.

h: Yeah I guess it can be when they don't see you. Otherwise, I have no problem passing them up and stuff.

$6000?

For under $6k, he can definitely get a miata with a hardtop. The cool thing is with the miata, the soft top and be safely tucked away while using the hardtop but some people prefer to remove the soft top with frame, completely.
