Re: car help......

We just got the new Accord and its great on gas. I'd had a Toyota corolla before and that thing was the best on gas. If you get a 4 cylinder they are generally pretty good on gas.

Re: car help......

Well, I've always had toyota, and I love them, but you get more for your money at Honda. The camry was 2k over the Honda, and the Honda had more options. I think they are both very reliable.

I had a corolla for 10 years and it was great on gas. You can also look into the hybrids

that's what i have, and the mileage is great. for a small car, it's surprisingly big.

Re: car help......

I have an '09 Toyota Corolla-gas mileage is about 32 mpg and I commute to the city. It's a good size car even for kids. Good luck!

I have a Honda Civic (4 cylinder) and it's a terrific car. No problems (it's my second Honda Civic, first one was totaled in an accident AFter that I didn't even think twice about getting another one...and like MnM said it's great on gas....$20 fills it up every week

Re: car help......

I used to have a Nissan Sentra and it had the best gas mileage. I can drive from Queens to Syracuse in half a tank of gas.

Re: car help......

check out kelley blue book
they have many ways to search for a car based on vehicle type, gas, price, seating capacity etc...
hopefuly the link works

Re: car help......

I have a Civic also, which is great on gas. I drive about 60 miles a day, so I have to fill up every 4 days but $20 does the trick!

Re: car help......

thanks ladies......

DH and I just cant seem to agree

my vote is civic all the way and ........

his vote is for a subaru impreza bc of the all wheel drive, we do go upstate all the time and he loves to ski, so AWD would be nice but then we sacrafice the mileage........

IDK what we will do but thank you all so much for your input
