thanks for all the input guys. In the end, after making sure that everything will fit, the fuel economy is gonna be what makes or breaks it. I'm not talking a 60 mile drive every day, I'm talking about just 5000 miles a month for work only, thats not including my own regular driving on weekends and what not, so it would probably average almost 6000 miles per month, if I stay with them for a while this time, 8 months out of the year.

with that said, a car that gets 34 mpg at 4.00/gallon would be $705/month in fuel alone

a car that gets just 28 would be $857/month in fuel.

Yes, I do get paid mileage, but the more of that that I can save, the better off I am, so mpg rating will be a very huge consideration, especially since if I'm up north a lot, fuel is about .50/gallon more.
