I didn't really come out bad on the car if I sell now and buy a newer car.

You left the 'plus trade' part out of your math, jchan2. The car didn't actually cost only $9000 'real money', it cost whatever the dealer put on the first line of the contract.

so the sticker price I don't remember exactly, but was close to $11,000, which comes out to 8 cents a mile if I sell right now.

Those 2 are lower than for most other cars, at least.

averaging around 27 MPG pure city driving and maintenance has gone no further than oil changes at Jiffy Lube, a new set of GoodYear Allegra economy tires, a new set of spark plugs at 60K miles, and CDs for the CD player.

One thing that consumers who are purchasing their first new vehicle should consider is gas mileage. This is especially true today when the average cost of a gallon of gasoline has topped $2.00. Those of you who are shopping for your first vehicle should definitely check out the following new article that is available here at Edmunds.com: Top 10 Most Fuel-Efficient Non-Hybrid Cars for 2004. Please feel free to use this discussion to post your thoughts on this article or to add to the list. Thanks.

Since you have had good luck with the Baretta, I would consider a new Chevy Impala. You get more car for the money than the new Malibu, pretty good gas mileage (we are getting 28 mpg), and you get a lot of interior space.
 
I am seeing a lot of new Impalas in the $14-15k range.

you might want to try the Pontiac G6. Or the Chevrolet Impala. Lots of room at a low price.
