I went and drove one a while back. It was very disappointing. You’d think it would be somewhat quick but it was not. You’d think the tranny wouldn’t be mushy but you’d be wrong. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sorry about your micropenis. Sorry you think about penises so much, it would be horrible to have cock on your mind so much. What would another name for a person with dick on your mind all the time? "Dick Head?" Not calling you that of course, but I could see a nickname coming from something like that. |

Manly commuter with great gas mileage is a whole bunch of oxymoron.
If you can afford it, a bmw 3 or 4 series would be a great choice. But any sedan is going to get much better mileage than a truck. |

Get yourself one of those little three wheeled Euro cars from the 50s and 60s. Can't recall the make or model. There was a local guy who ran one around and had a couple of donor parts cars in his yard. Real manly....

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ummm gas is over $4 in a lot of the country. I'm paying $4.50 for premium pretty regularly Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Fair enough. I just did a search on Toyota for hybrid only RAV4s within 50 miles and all but one were about $5,600 more than the standard. So reworking our numbers, it would take around 10 years of driving 15,000 miles a year and gas at $4.00/gallon to break even on the difference between the two. Obviously gas prices and miles driven directly impact the equation. I doubt we see gas get to $4.00 again and if it gets there, it likely won’t stay long. Even if gas were $6.00/gallon it would still take 8 years to break even. Ummm gas is over $4 in a lot of the country. I'm paying $4.50 for premium pretty regularly And Summer is coming. |

No you have a great question and I have never given a thought to buying a car. I don’t know shit about it but the Subaru with all wheel drive might be an option. My friend drives a Hindu or some shit like that. Hey they get mileage but damn they are noisy inside. I’m thinking Toyota or Subaru. I drive a f350 4 wd double cab I am at one with 10mpg but I carry a lot of shit and a 2000 pound liftmoore crane. |

I drive a Prius. I don’t give a fuck if it’s macho or not. I get 40mpg.
You know what’s macho? Getting to take vacations because I saved money driving. Getting to buy my kids whatever they need, because I saved money on gas. Stop giving a shit what others think about you. And if you are trying to score a chick with a car, she will just leave you when she sees a Lamborghini drive by. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are you comparing similar trims and options? I thought they were really close in price. I wish I could get better real numbers because I am constantly looking at Rav 4’s but my commute is all highway at 70+ mph so I don’t think I’d gain much if anything. All highway at 70+ mph? I'd seriously consider something diesel. I've posted this before, but I get at LEAST 40mpg hwy and average 28mpg city in a heavy ass Porsche Cayenne Turbo Diesel with AWD. I've gotten a best of 51mpg on a slightly uphill 300 mile trip from Galveston to Dallas with the cruise control on. Tuned, it gives an advertised 340hp/525ft lbs which absolutely stomps my V8 AWD 4Runner which gets LESS than 1/2 the mpg. This engine in a smaller CAR like a VW has to be the tits. Oh snap, googling says people can get 70mpg? Wtf. As for fuel prices, I paid $3.29 last week for diesel. 87 octane was the same price and 93 octane 40 cents higher. Quite a few economy vehicles mentioned in this thread require 91/93 octane.  |

I'd run the numbers first. You can easily pay more money to "save gas" after payments, insurance, etc.
If you just want another vehicle to rack up miles on and don't care about costs just get whatever you want. |

My last three, over the years, drive to work every day cars were a Genesis Coupe Track model, an IROC Z28 and a Z28. Fun on the way to work, fun on the way home from work.
The Genesis Coupe (3.8 6 speed manual) got around 21 to 22 mpg in town driving. The IROC Z28 (5.0 TPI 700r4 automatic) got 20 to 21 mpg in town driving. The Z28 (350 4 speed manual) got around 14 mpg in town driving. I detest 4 door cars. Little bitty short doors good for nothing. I had trucks, too. Drove those when the weather was bad. |
