So I'm sitting in the hallway since we have too many visitors and the waiting room was Full Of Plague. I decree that EMT's are, for the most part, Still Hot.

Much -ma to you and your mom, Aimee--last thing you need right now!!
P-C, I'd say just go test drive them--I was surprised at how much some of the very very similar cars I drove felt very very different to me, when I was buying a car. I was looking at small SUVs, and they all had almost identical specs, but felt so different when I drove them, both in terms of "how does it feel when I hit the gas, or go around corners" and just in terms of "EW, suddenly I realize that I HATE red-glowing dials, I would feel like my car was the devil" or "Huh, I really like where the arm rest is, it's so comfy" little things.

Yeah, I'm test driving them all this week. The Camry drove fine, but the steering audio control was really awkward, and the radio reception was staticky for no apparent reason. I'm hoping one of the cars just feels right.

So I'm buying a car and wanted to consult the hivemind. Using U.S. News and World Report rankings as a guideline, I'm looking at the Chevrolet Malibu, Mazda Mazda6, Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Hyundai Sonata. One of these better just stand out and be awesome. The Camry was fine, but I feel like not getting The Car That Everyone Has. (I've arbitrarily nixed the Accord on the basis that it's basically a more expensive Camry.) I'm looking at midsize sedans since I plan to keep this car for a long time, and it'll be good to have a bigger car for my future dysfunctional family. Or, if you're my uncle, I'm looking at midsize sedans because they are inherently safer than small cars because of physics.
How much are you looking to spend? If you are looking at these new might I suggest you go take a look at a 2005 or 2006 Mercedes C230. They can be had for less than $20,000 with very low miles and will be a much safer and better built car than almost any of these. If you want the new car dealer experience only better, go pick up one at CarMax.
