...with higher mileage? I'm looking to buy a dependable used cars. I really like the Mazda 3 and the Honda Civic. At the same time there are some used Volvo S40s that seem pretty nice. My basic question is this: Would it make more sense in terms of maintenance costs to go for a Mazda or a Honda at 30 to 50,000 miles or a Volvo at 72,000 miles or so?
