I tell ya what, if you are so convinced, why don't you warranty it, it breaks you can pay to have it fixed and you can pay for Amy's day off...



Everytime it breaks you send me $350 for her day off and pay the repair bill, where should I mail the contract?



Or I could continue my policy of having her drive a vehicle under warranty and on the off chance it breaks, which so far even her ******* ford hasnt been back to the dealer, they can send a tow truck, give her a loaner car and let her know when it's fixed......

scott- you have more then one car, I do also but I understand your thinking.





Anything that gets better economy costs more then its gas version, if its diesel then the fuel costs alot more, about a $1 around

here a gallon- so as Mike said you gots to do a lot of driving to see any savings



The best thing you can do for economy is change your driving habits and try to drive smoothly and not accelerate really hard.

Here's the thing, I was an aircraft mechanic and auto mechanic for several years, I've also driven shitbox cars for a few years. I absolutely DESPISE HAVING to work on cars, what does that mean? It means when the car breaks and I or amy needs to get to work and it's 15 degrees outside or in Florida's case 85 and i absolutely have to bust my *** to get it back on the road cause we need the car. I've swore to myself I will always have two new cars, toys are fine, old cars are fine, in fact I LIKE to work on them on my schedule and at my pace, when and where I want to. I will never own an old car that absolutely need to use to get somewhere, cause it's always the same story, it ******* breaks in the worst possible place and I need to get it fixed ASAP.



And as much as I said I would never play this card, I can almost to a tee tell you the age of the person telling me "whats wrong with an old honda" or this or that, because i used to be that person, I could never figured out why my dad traded a car in when the warranty was up or why he always had an automatic i'm 33 years old, NOW I KNOW, cause he hates working on them and he likes to drink his god damn coffee on the way to work...

hey man Im with you- I will never own a stick for everyday driving again, or anything without AC!



I used to think nothing of being outside under the car when it was 25 degrees outside fixing something so I could get to work that day, now I lease my cars and dont even have to put tires on the stupid things.



And anyone who wants to go over the lease versus owning debate with me trust me you wont win when I present the facts.

Only way owning is worth it if you drive a whole lot or you will drive the car into the ground.

My wife bought a '99 Dodge Neon Sport and gets 35 mpg back and forth to work. Paid $1300. She drives the Audi like once a week now.



What does a new Mazda 3 get for mpg?

i think 33 is doable, i did 35 cruising around, not freeway though
