[does it eat volkswagens too?]

Chalk up one more over-heated air-cooled Volkswagen.  Cough-sputter.

O.k., it's dead, time for a new car.  I'm wondering if anybody has any
comments/experience with any of the following. Also, what comments do you have
about buying cars from rental places?  My father just got an '83 cougar from
hertz for a little under 8k--about $300 under low bluebook, and it's great.

The cars:

Rabbit GTI (84)
Mercury Cougar/Ford Thunderbird (83)
Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz (84)

I thought an Escort might be nice (translation: cheap) but apparently I'm too
tall to fit the $%#& thing.

Any other suggestions?  I'm expecting to spend $5-$8k

thanx,

rick
