T4R. Got a nephew. Needs a car. It needs to be simple, reliable, and reasonably fuel efficient. Reliable enough to drive over decades old, pothole infested roads and gravel paths daily. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I seem to be homing in on a used Police For Crown Victoria. Seems like a good choice. They are reasonably priced and are built to be used by the police, so they should be rugged. I'm going to try to get one in a nice neutral grey color so the thing doesn't look too much like a cop car. Any objections?

I was referring to the roads that are driven over each day which is the reason it needs to be reliable. I think I need to rephrase the OP.

Also, if your nephew is up to the challenge of a manual I'd recommend one.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
As much as it hurts me to type this, but a Honda Accord should do the trick.

It wouldn't be very advisable considering the stop-and-go traffic around here.

All except fuel efficiency. That and it's too wide for our roads and would scare the livestock.

I'm flattered. Unfortunately I'm not as good with names, do you go by the same name you did back then or have you changed it? I only remember a couple of people.

Sure our public transportation is absolutely ass but driving here is even worse. Everybody drives like they're playing Twisted Metal and you can just forget about the parking. I can't even tell you how many times I've almost ended up as flat as the shitty pizza's here even though I had the light.
