mead107 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 John, my suggestion is to go old school and look into a Stomper 4x4. I'd also like to take this opportunity to tell Mead and Fergy to eat a large bag of dicks. And you love your little gay car. I mean gray car.

John from Riverside Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Decided not to go with the electric Interestingly enough....he guy at the dealership actually talked me out of it. Apparently the 2013 leaf gets like 60 miles on a charge. While I only go abut 30 miles one way to work that just doesnt cut it for me......if it got like 80 miles I would have got it today. Just gonna look for a new put put type car looking at the Kio Rio, Nissan Versa, Civic etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This post won't be popular with the "hey ladies look at my fancy wheels" crowd, but if you're serious about cutting costs, here's what i'd suggest. The article linked below is from 2013 and shows projected total cost of ownership for then new 2013 models. If I was looking for reliable transportation at lowest total cost, I'd try to find a 4 year old low mileage 2013 model year car that was on this list: http://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1082509_misers-models-the-ten-cheapest-cars-to-own After 4 years, depreciation is less of a factor, and if you find one with low mileage, it ought to be fairly reliable. P.S. My brother Darryl says I should remind you - - "Your mileage may vary." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 got a prius even though I was hesitant. I love it. get anywhere from 50-55 mpg and it has surprising get up and go. I'm married with a kid (car seat and all) and it has more than enough room. went to the casino with a buddy who was 6'5" and he fit in the passenger seat. if I was still single and looking I wouldnt own this car though lol.

Gugny Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 got a prius even though I was hesitant. I love it. get anywhere from 50-55 mpg and it has surprising get up and go. I'm married with a kid (car seat and all) and it has more than enough room. went to the casino with a buddy who was 6'5" and he fit in the passenger seat. if I was still single and looking I wouldnt own this car though lol. I went from a 5 mile commute to a 55 mile commute. If I could have afforded a Prius, it would have easily been my first choice. As others have mentioned, and made fun of, I went with the Nissan Versa Note. I love it. I'm averaging about 40 miles per gallon (more in the summer) and it's surprisingly comfortable. I just drove 3.5 hours each way to NYC with my son and it was like nothing. I've driven through the ice, snow, rain and wind that our lovely region blesses us with and the wind is the only thing I feel more than I'd feel in a bigger vehicle. With a sticker price of about $17K (2015 SV model, new), I can't complain. I'm about a year in with about 30K miles and I'd recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
