Well under 100k will keep you into the 2015 on time frame then since want it to last @10 years also and not put you in the poor house fixing it. Depending on your price range have you considered a new small Hyundai or the like with a warranty? |

VW Passat TDI. It's a diesel, but gets great mileage. VW Jetta TDI would work for your wife as well.

The only issue for both 1st and 2nd gen Cruze owners could be parts availability going forward. Edit: The most negative thing I can say about it is, it has the automatic engine shut off (to boost mileage) and there's no way to turn that 'feature' off. Most of the time it probably does its intended job, but can be annoying in stop and go traffic. |

They probably don't get good mileage, at least the ones that went through the recall to fix the emissions controls probably don't. Find one that hasn't been fixed maybe?
