A peer, not intending to,
convinced me I should buy my next car
as much over email as possible.

Consider my requirements for a new vehicle:

* Reliable make: Honda or Toyota
* Compact [body style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_body_style):
    Sedan, Crossover, or Hatchback
    (really just not a pickup or SUV)

I thought that these requirements were too open
to make research like peer suggested impractical,
but I realized now that they narrow my selection considerably.
