I need a new daily driver


If you guys were lookin to buy a car for a daily driver that gets good gas mileage what would you go for? Im thinkin probably a 6 cylinder and this will be the car i drive the majority of the time so i dont want some older piece of shit as i will have to drive a lot hear pretty soon with my two jobs. Im thinkin along the lines of somethin around like a gtp, an eclipse, or a 350z. i dont really think im gona mod the hell out of it, just somethin with a little get up and go and good looks.

how about a ranger, i know it's a truck right! but you can always beat the living crap out of it, and still get good mpg, and then ur set for winter too. and right now rangers are cheap enough u can pick one up for very cheap

wrong answer.

the 2008 4x2 regular cab 4 cyl gets 21/26 mpg. now, you know nobody wants a 4cyl, or a 4x2, or a regular cab. so now you're looking at an extended cab v6 4x4 and i know first hand the mileage sucks bigtime

seriously... buy a honda... even an old one... engines are cheap, and you can beat the shit out of them... repairs are a dream. hell, I can rebuild my little b16 in an evening (if I have the parts...) that includes taking it out of the car... dont even need a hoist... just a jack, disconnect the tranny and lift and wiggle.
