What Kind Of Car Do You Have

I looked at a Saturn SC-1 before I bought the Neon. It seemed pretty decent, but there is NO room in the back, and only seating for four. If I wanted that, I'd have got the terrible but sexy, short-lived Mercury Cougar.

 

 

The Saturns DO tend to be ridiculously good on gas, however.

I commute to work 4 days of the week at a round trip of about 120k. I get about 265km for half a tankish. I've never had to pay more than $40 to fill'r up

I did some mileage tests a while back, but I forget the results other than it was decent. I drive stick and at the time I probably wasn't shifting efficiently, so I should probably do the test again. But then...I don't really drive conservatively, so it may not matter.

 

At any rate, the Neon is alot less painful at the pumps than the Grand Caravan I used to drive.

I test drove the Cougar when it came out...great little car, but it wasn't roomy enough...in the driver's seat

Never did get a chance to drive one. Heard bad things about them being a maintenance nightmare. Lots of small issues after 100,000km, though I guess some people have no problems. And I was looking for 4-door mostly. Still, it looked like a fun car.

I read the same things, all new car models are like that...

 

I bought the Jeep instead, and have been happy ever since...
