Answer 8

Ignore the advice from the guy at the car place.  Not only is the Stratus not a very reliable used car, Dodges in general don't get very good gas mileage.

You need front wheel drive or all wheel drive for winter driving.  You want a 4 cylinder engine for economy. You want something from Japan for reliability.

You can buy a lot of car for $15,000.  That's a lot of money for a used car,  so you'll have plenty to choose from.  Be selective and take your time.  

I'd be looking for an AWD Subaru wagon (Forrester or Outback) a Honda CR-v (if you want a small SUV) or a Civic, Corolla or Camry if you want small car economy.

Answer 9

Nissan Pathfinder, or Nissan Xterra for SUV, but try looking at Subaru because they are all wheel drive or the Volvo's other than SUV's there really is not alot of good car choices for snow.

Answer 10

I rented a Suzuki SX4 crossover last weekend was very pleased with it.  The car looked good and drove well.   Here is a list of 10 great cheap cars.

Answer 11

You should go to a car auction. You'll most definitely find something you like for less than $15,000. I got a great deal on my first car at an auction. http://www.mycarauctionreview.com has info on the best car auction lists you can get if you don't know where any auctions are in your city.

Answer 12

I guess you should also check insurance quotes for the car before buying one, for example here: http://autoinsurance.undonet.com

1st time drivers usually have much higher rates than others. And it depends from car. Stratus would be expensive cause it looks sporty.
