Hope I get a better car next time

My husband and I decided to go in 2001 and buy our first brand new car. It had 20 miles on it. What a mistake that was! We didn't buy the extended warranty. Another mistake! This car started making a ticking noise not to long after we bought it. Not to long after we had went through the miles on our warranty it started to burn oil. For the last year to year and a half we have had to put approximately 2 quarts of oil in this every week. The ticking noise is still there. I have had 2 different mechanics look at it and neither one know for sure where the ticking is coming from. This car is also just too small. One trip to the grocery store and I have to take the stroller out of the trunk before I go or I won't have enough room to fit the groceries in it. This car does ride smoothly however if you want comfort don't go for this car. I guess it is just too small to get comfortable in it. If you ride in it for more than an hour you are stiff when you get to your destination. I am not pleased with this car at all. I would never buy another one and don't suggest you do either.
