What car is good for a college commuter student?

I'm going to college soon but, I'm commuting. Right now I drive a 2000 Honda Accord & I'm looking to buy something newer and better. I've been looking at older Jeep Grand Cherokees. Are they reliable and good cars for commuting? My school is only 45 mins away and I'm only driving there twice a week and my work is in my town. Do you think I should buy one? If not, what kind of cars should college students buy?

A Jeep is a step down from a Honda in reliability. Stick with what you have.

  • Recommendations for a reliable, good on gas college commuter that will hold its resale value? Need some advice. I just sold my mustang as it was not my idea of a good commuter car. I would like to go strictly good on gas and reliable. I'm thinking about the Honda Civic SI, Honda Accord or a Toyota Tacoma (I ride dirt bikes) Any other recommendations? The civic si seems fun, and they have an awesome aftermarket.
