Need opinion.
Well planning to buy a car, wanting to buy something cheap and reliable. Would a hatch back be cheaper and just as reliable if not more than a normal 5 speed car? Cause my case is I'm still in university and everything and pretty much paying for everything on my own and working 2 jobs and everything, so don't want to make a mistake, its kind of like a do or die (not quite). Well if I buy the wrong kind of car and needs a lot of maintenance right off the bat then Im screwed because I wouldn't have that kind of extra cash. So just wondering which is more reliable and cheaper, hatch vs car (4 or 2 dr). Also winters coming and all. Also what what average would a reliable and stock condition cost? Well dunno if my question was clear enough but thanks for the opinions in advance and sorry to those who think that is kind of a "noob" question to ask.

Well the amount of doors or body style has no affect on the reliablty of the car, and if its a 10+ year old car it wont really affect the cost to to much either. Also you need to set some kind of budget. If you have already decided on a civic say and you dont care which style it is , your giving yourself a good chance with a wide variety to find a good solid car for a deal. Search autotrader , craigslist , kijiji , and the many many forums. This one being the best for civic related sales. Have some patients and you will find what your looking for.

I'v owned a ton of cars, and the best, most reliable ones I'v had were my civic and delsol, both made by honda. nothing has ever broke on them in the last 3 years.
you can find some good deals on civics in the forsale section. I would say 3g's+ will get you a pretty nice EG (92-95) civic hatch, coupe, or sedan.
just make sure you get what you are looking at buying checked out by a mechanic, or someone that knows cars.
hope I helped a little, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask man, were all here to help.

the only real difference is a 4 door was less likely to have been beaten on.
not always th ecase i'm sure but it's part of the same reason why a 4 door will cost you less for insurance as well
