Default Economy car

OK looks like I will be changing jobs and loosing my company ride. I am looking for a mid size car with good gas mileage, I have looked at the Camery Hybrid but i was told that the maintenance on them is through the roof. Has anyone heard anything about these cars or an alternative with good MPG

Look at some used Jetta diesels. They have plenty of driver room, get great mileage, and they are not too expensive. When I quit using my truck for business, I am going to get one for my next bus ride. I get an allowance instead of car. They are paying for my truck.
