if you want good mpg, just get a civic
Come to the dark side, we have cookies and good MPG.
Not many people want to swallow your Kool-Aid, son.
I just have a thing against people buying euro's for fuel economy. A friend of mine bought a 1.8 non turbo 2005 Jetta, and it gets a best of 18-20mpg freeway driving.
i beg to differ. ive looked at the for sale section of honda-tech and generally the first 5 pages are from the same day.
I'm happy with my honda purchase. almost 40mpg and fun to drive. i've got speed on the backburner, er in the garage...
I think a lot of people don't sit down and do the math before they sell their current car in hopes of getting better MPG. I'm not saying that you're one of them, but hopefully you have sat down and done with math. Sure you're going to be spending less at the pump, but you lose a ton of money on your trade-in. It just seems like you're saving money because you're spending less at the pump, but your just "financing" your loss and spreading it out. If the car is paid off, then it's especially dumb to sell it because of bad MPG.
*Cough* Lower repair and maintenance costs also *Cough*
But yea, What kind of mileage does the goat get on the freeway? how much of a hit are you taking?
eh, my GTP never had anything major go wrong, nor does it have high repair costs. just the rack and that cost me like $75 for the parts.
I know the prix doesn't have high repair costs, but repair costs for a CRX are stupid cheap. "Damn, I blew my motor, thats a $150 repair", "Aww hell, an axle snapped, thats another $25", "Got into a wreck, thats almost $100 to replacing all the panels on the whole car"
the audi is an 04, yes quattro, and my aunts jetta 1.8T 5 speed FWD gets 30-35 + mpg highway evey day, and so im assuming ill be right around 30 w/ the AWD and 6 speed
goat gets 18-19 highay. with a K&N CAI
no offense, but i just feel hondas, cavis, Grand ams are too.... flimsy...i like a heavy-ISH car

My GTI got 25 mpg city driving with my foot in the throttle all the time. pretty fuel efficient.....If I can remember I got over 30-35 on the highway cruising at 80.
More fuel efficient than my current car
i got a hook up at a dealer, we just lost the auction we were bidding on. this audo future may be short lived lol. ill be getting one between 13,500-15,500 depending on what we can find now. trade the goat, get good APR and should have aroun a 250-270 a month payment.
we were looking at a fully loaded 04 red on blk leather. 6 speed. sport package really clean car, 39k miles, the auction started at 17 grand, and is 'supposed' to drop rappidly before bidding starts, some ass clown took the starting price and bid 17 K. WTF!!! it sold for 18,100. the fuckin the black-books at like 12,800. after transport and markup and stuff tht dealer is gunna charge over 20k for a 15k car. i was stunned. so i have to go find another perfect match.

Are LS2's that much of a guzzler?
In my 1999 z/28 I got 28-30mpg highway with a 4.10 rear gear! Only other mods were a lid and catback. (yes the speedo was properly calibrated)
