My wife's car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla, but we're looking to trade that in for either a Volvo wagon, Audi A4 or A6 or a Saab 9-3 or 9-5. Anyone have any experience with these models?

2003 Toyota Echo - not a very manly car, but it gets over 40 MPG.

[Radii]

What kind of mileage are you getting on that?


high 30s usually, but I am not a very efficient driver. Air conditioning is always on and i rarely go the speed limit.

When we travel (Atlanta-NorthCarolina a few times and Atlanta-Florida for the honeymoon), I can consistantly get high 30s going 15 over the speed limit. If I stick it on cruise at 5 over it's very reasonable to get 42-44 MPG for stretches.


That's with the automatic transmission. I understand that the manual is supposed to be rate 2-5 MPG better, but I can't drive a stick :(

[FrogMan]

This won't make you feel manlier, but this was my wife's car before the Matrix (although a 2000 one). I got to drive it when she was off from work pregnant, and while she stayed at home after giving birth. I could get very high 40ish MPG with the kind of commute I did to/from work. Stick shift, it was kinda fun to drive...

FMThat is ok. I don't rely on the car to support my feeling of manhood ;)

Mine is an automatic, and I drive in New Orleans which doesn't have the most gas friendly traffic patterns, but I still get around 40 consistently. I'm not worried about the cost of gas as much as I want at least a semi-ecological friendly car.

Edited to add: It is a fun car to drive. Despite being automatic and getting good gas mileage, it has suprising acceleration when needed.

LOL! :D

My commute is mostly country roads with speed limits at 55, so you never drive at 75 or 80, but don't have any traffic lights. It's about 20 miles, just enough for me to unplug from work while listening to a CD :)

I agree with the acceleration, good to hear it's not bad with the auto tranny. We always buy/lease stick shift cars, as we almost never have to drive in heavy traffic, and we both actually like to drive stick more than automatic. Plus, it's cheaper :)

I still drive my 94 Isuzu Rodeo and since coming back from Turkey have not got a second car yet. But next week I will be shopping around.

I'm looking at used recertified Honda's or new Hyundai's, and actually everything in the 10k-15k range that is a good dependable car.

[Vince]

2002 Mazda Millenia S
It always amazes me when someone's first post on the board is something like this.

I drive a '94 Honda Accord -- gets me decent gas mileage, and is about as dependable as a car can get.

As I've said in this thread, I drive 20 miles in country roads to get to work. Yeah I could get a ride with somebody else, but I like that if I have to stay a bit later, I'm never attached to anybody. And with 2 kids and the cold Quebec weather, the bus, or the bicycle don't make much sense for us :)

I have heard from other Saab owners that the newer models just arn't the same since GM moved all design and engineering to the US. No first hand experience with that though, just what I've heard.

I own one but I hardly ever drive it. Maybe once or twice a month. Subway and walking for me. I have had the same car for the last 11 years. When it snows, I generally don't even dig it out. Just leave it until it melts.

1990 Nissian 240SX- red. Its classified as a sports car so of course I have to pay more for insurance. Its reliable though with 122,000 miles and 4 years of owning it. I fear that I'll have to get another car in probably 2-3 years or when it reaches 200,000 miles.

Mine's an automatic, and yes, I love where they've put the stick. Thought it might be annoying at first, but now it seems very natural. Also love the fold down seats in the back. It's actually easier to use the Matrix instead of my wife's Town and Country when we have to move big stuff.

Big big fan of the Matrix (although I still really want a Trailblazer. In fact, I'm with Loren on the Magnum. I think they're pretty fun looking cars).

I almost bought a used Cadillac Escalade but then the Golden Corral guy smacked me in the back of the head while i was talking to the finance guy and I said, "Shit!! what the fuck am I doing?!!" I then, to everyone's shock, got up and left and took my jeep home and gave her a good detailing. Felt much better about her after that.

Usually, our '03 Hyundai Elantra, although I occasionally drive my wife's '96 Geo Prism (yeah baby!). We also have a 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon for hauling the dogs or large objects. If/when my wife's car dies (hey, it's the Corolla's twin, so who knows), she'll take the Elantra and I'll take the Mazda, although we'll probably try to carpool more often. She puts tons of miles on her car for her job, so we don't want her voiding the warranties on our newer cars.

[Comey]

I've had used cars ever since I could drive:

1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport
1987 Suburu Lunchbox/Lawnmower
1995 VW Jetta

When the Jetta gave out on me in November 2004, I finally had to get my own car. So, now I drive a 2005 Scion xB, perfect for my coaching.
