So i've finally decided i'm sick of spending all my beer money on gas. I currently drive (well drove) a 2007 civic si and while i got pretty good mpg i was always obsessing on how to drive to get better mpg and that led me to this forum. It's borderlining obsession.
Anyways i've been scanning the detroit metro craigslist and there's a LOT of junk. Like, all kinds of flippers, salvage titles, ext ext.
So far i've narrowed the car choices down to an insight-a golf tdi-a civic-or a mazda 3.
Had a perfect 1998 civic one owner with 130k miles but couldn't buy it due to being on vacation and of course someone got it.
These are the cars. Budget isn't a problem, obviously i'd rather spend less and will be negotiating heavily.
2000 Honda Insight
2002 Honda Insight (Limited Edition)-Hybrid
2003 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI
2002 Golf GL TDI (LOW MILEAGE)
any insight to these cars is appreciated (no pun intended). I plan to pull the trigger sometime this month.
thanks
zach
