The G20, Teg and Civic have varying interiors, but for all practical reasons are very similar. You'll probably get the best milage out of the Civic/Teg.
The v6 Stang—the only thing this car has going for it IMO is RWD. It's middle of the road as far as mileage, styling and build-quality compared to the rest of your list.
thank you. yeah i dont hear much about VW's used so i was kinda worried about that. right now its between the civic, either of the outbacks, g20, and the jetta. im just looking into them all a little further before deciding. these little words or wisdom from TR are helping.
