9. Do not, I repeat, do NOT buy a compact car with a towing package.
They aren't designed to tow squat. You have no idea what the lat owner was towing; it could have been a pup traiper full of yard waste, or a small sailboat, or a freakin' full-sized camper.

The drivetrains on compacts aren't designed to tow anything. Stay away!

Whichever car you go with, do yourself a favour and spend the extra $$ to replace the timing belt right away, unless you have solid evidence as to when it was last changed, if ever.
