I Don't Want a Sissy Car

I suggested to Amy that she ought to do some researching on the best "used" car for a new driver that we should consider.  I suggested that it would help her dad out and give her some valuable research skills and knowledge about what the best car might be.  I suggested that she check Consumer Reports Annual Car Issue and look at value, price, reliability, and ratings.

So, this is a text conversation that she had with her dad (he was in London):
