[Here's one for the road]

My wife and I are looking for a new automobile which is to be our
"family" car. She will be driving it probably 95% of the time. Our
requirements are: 

  Musts: Four doors, A/C, automatic transmission, front wheel drive,
	 intermittent windshield wipers, power steering.

  High wants: Fuel injection, full sized spare capacity.

Furthermore both my wife and I have to be comfortable driving. I am
6' and my wife is 5' 3". The cars we are considering are (not in order
of preference to bias anyone): Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Mazda 626.
We would consider the Nissan Stanza but the dealer in town is a real
bozo. The Saab 900, Audi 4000S and Volkswagon Quantum were eliminated
because we both could not drive them comfortably for one reason or another.

Anyone with either praise or flames on any of these cars please respond
by mail to (thanks in advance):

Bruce Rodean
