My boat is gone and I have no need to tow with the Denali any more. It's going in to get some bumper damaged repaired Friday from someone backing into it, after that Im looking to make the jump. 13MPGs in an obnoxiously large vehicle and $500/mo in gas is an expense I don't want any more. I'll have another car for a toy. I need a DD type vehicle, want a cheap car note and cheap operating expenses.
-20+MPG city
-automatic trans
-not luxury unless its a stupid cheap deal
-No SUVs unless its a stupid cheap deal
-room enough for 4 adults comfortably for longer than a 2 mile ride to a bar. kinda digging something hatchback for the extra room without a monstrous sized vehicle.
-would love leather but not a necessity
-$12k budget
-not afraid of mileage, 100k or less with a little wiggle room.
-has provisions for mounting a roof rack from the factory
My top contenders are:
VW Golf, though I've never actually driven or been in one.
VW Passat TDI
Toyota Prius (nohomo), old room mate has one and I actually like the car.
i miss the hell out of my e46 330ci sport package and would buy one again for the right price even though it fits nothing i listed above.
