I like most of them, but Muppet Treasure Island is fantastic. The songs are great, it's funny, and Tim Curry is splendid as Long John Silver.

Tom Waits- Bad as Me

Steven Wilson- Grace for Drowning

The Dear Hunter- The Color Spectrum

The Antlers- Burst Apart

Steve Hackett- Beyond the Shrouded Horizon

Okkervil River- I am Very Far

M83- Hurry up we're dreaming

Haken- Visions

Italian is always good but I also love Thai, and Vietnamese.

Tough to pick between these three.

Steven Wilson- Grace for drowning

The Antlers- Burst Apart

The Dear Hunter- The Color Spectrum

Juke, if it were my choice. In person, a lot of the 'extreme' design cues are more muted than they seem in pictures. The front is still a little crowded, but otherwise it's a pretty good looking car. I laughed at it, too, at first, but it grew on me.Dark__Link

I was the same when I saw it. I respect any car company that actually tries to make their cars stand out. Most these days just look like generic sport cars, or dull compacts. For example, I admire the idea behind the design of the Nissan Cube, but I don't think I could drive it because it looks like an ice cream van.

Subaru for sure... Kia is ****, and that Nissan is as MissLibrarian says.

Kia doesnt have a good reputation, but apparently their recent cars have been improving. I mostly see consistantly good reviews of them.

Every time I see a Juke I'm blown away at how ugly it is - and being more offensive to the eyes than a Pontiac Aztek is no mean feat. Of those, I'd probably go Subaru. It's kind of a boring car, though. Any other similarly priced ones you might be interested in? Jetta, Fiesta/Focus, etc.DJ_Lae

I'm interested in anything as long as meets the requirements I mentioned. I heard very good things about the Jetta, and the Focus actually. Which of them is better?

i say you should get used piece of crap because i think thats what everyones first car should be.

I would but I'm going to be leasing one of these and I think it's tougher to find older cars to lease.

I'm open to considering more, but these are the ones I test drove. Really I'm just looking for something that won't cost too much to lease, and has good safety features. I test drove a Fiat 500 and it drove quite well but I couldn't find much in the way of safety information on it since it's still somewhat new in the U.S.
