Well I'm getting a car, something better on gas but no I'm not selling the truck I love the thing to much. What you guys drive for cars? I'm looking for some power but something nice and decent on gas. Looking to spend 15g range.

Well I'm getting a car, something better on gas but no I'm not selling the truck I love the thing to much. What you guys drive for cars? I'm looking for some power but something nice and decent on gas. Looking to spend 15g range.
If my truck's down for whatever reason, I drive my moms 04 Passat TDI or my brother's 05 Jetta TDI. Awesome little cars, get up and go alright and get 50+ mpg.
You can buy my 2004 honda accord for half of that.
I just can't do Honda. I Dono....just cant. I was looking at maximas
honda all day (fathers 01 v6 accord gets 23mpg/mothers 2010 civic si gets 26 mpg/brothers 02 rsx gets 28)
Nissans are a lot of fun maxima's can be very nice but for 15k you could get something fun like a C5 or maybe a GTO. If you are thinking little car something with a turbo would fun (subaru, lancer evo, etc)
I looked into GTO's i dont think im gonna go there and everyone and their brother has a subaru where i live. Evo's though you dont see and i live in New England so AWD would be nice...
Edit: Just looked within 150 miles with 17k price range. not one till you get to 19k. damn i like them too
I drive my moms 350z sometimes.. It gets up and goes and the handling is amazing.. We got it for cheap too, maybe 12k.
My company truck is a 2010 Silverado but my secondary ride is the wifes 06 Fusion V6. The absolute backup ride is my Daughters 96 Sable. Its maroon with pimp'n gold trim and emblems.
I refuse to go Honda or Toyota.
Im with ya man its just tough to go honda. I honestly do like the newer fusions. I guess its gonna come down to test drives to see which one i like.Quote:

but a friend of mine has a 09 cobaltSS and its pretty much the ultimate DD IMO. its cheap (he got it with 15k miles for $16), has a 100k mile warrant, runs low 14's at 105mph bone stock and handles better than my BMW.... whats not to love? oo ya, and 30 mpg
I guess if the trip to Pakistan is about 500 miles than ya that is about right! It goes about 750 miles to the tank or about 2 weeks to work and back. Too bad diesel is 3.99 per gal.Quote:

Dude, every teenage girly has one, but for the money, you can't beat a little G5 or Cobalt for a DD. My girl's gets 28-32 mpg mixed and the interior isn't terrible. Hell I think she got hers with 5k miles on it for like 8k
AUDI AWD cars are a ton of fun too. Some are wicked cheap to boot.
I daily a s13, only 22mpg and no room. Don't get a maximum, moms got an 05 and way to many problems. An 350z sounds nice thou. Id go m6 ls1 camaro thou.
I have a toyota rav4 little suv, leather power everything nice ride, and gets 28mpg spent 12on it, been looking at upgrading think im gonna try an get an H2 this summer
What about a grand prix. Never driven one myself but heard even the v6's are fun and can get you over 30 mpg
H2 WTF? not to hate or anything but wouldn't ur truck get similar mileage haha sounds like fun tho... :DQuote:

Grand prix's are fun i have a GTP. if u go GM make sure the front hub's are good and not loose.common prob with them.imp ss are snappy for a 5.3 fwd car. maxima is a good choise too.
My truck prolly gets better mileage :lol: i really dont care about mileage, but i need something bigger, and i need somethin that can haul my truck cus its not gonna be a driver forever.Quote:

Back on topic the Maxima or altima would likely be my choice for the cheapest and most efficient.
Seats 7 and still can haul my truck.Quote:

Those are chick cars. Sucks they got labelled as that though, cuz they are a blast to drive.
I didnt label them as chick cars. I would definitely cruise one. I never hear S2000's labeled as chick cars.Quote:
