What are the Good Gas Mileage Vehicles

whitethunder46 · 04-24-2006, 06:36 PM

Im looking into purchasing another vehicle come September for a winter beater and also a gas saver. I AM NOT SELLING MY CAR! I dont give a rats ass what it looks like as long as it'll be reliable, but thats for me to look into and check out.

So what are the BEST vehicles for gas mileage?? (Include Hybrids)

Honda Civic
Toyota Corrolla

Cant beat either as far as fuel economy and reliability.

i know the civic looks like a BEAST dosen't it, lol

That's what I figured as far as Honda and Toyota. Are any years better than others? Again, this is just a beater car, IDC about HP, looks, anything... just something with good gas mileage and fairly reliable.

how much money are u guna fork down for this car? and how often are you guna drive it... don't be silly in tryin to think your guna be able to just by a beater car and it'll save you money, if you spend more then 5 grand it won't be worth it... ur not guna run through that much gas in 6 months...

No, I totally understand that. I plan on spending around about 2000-2500.
I've found some VW Jetta's and Golf's in my area that look to be in good shape and such, selling for under 2500. They just have a lot of miles. Both these car get around 35MPG city and 45 highway.

Both are 98's 97's I believe.

Also come winter, I would take the stang off insurance, so I would save a little money there.

If you want reliability VW is not the way to go. I would go with either a Corolla or Civic, no question about it. Change the oil and you will see 250K miles.

well after a little looking into it. I'll prolly just wait another 2 years or so. By that time I'll have my career going and a steady and good income. Then I'll just by a new or slightly used car as my dd, maybe something like a Civic Hybrid. The stang would be able to be what I really want it to be... a weekend/evening cruising car and a show car.
