Oh, there is a list of cars that would work. Mainly, I'd like something that easily tops 40 mpg without having to P&G the pants off of it. Been there, done that with my 1997 Toyota Paseo. I hit 72 mpg twice. It was fun. Now the challenge for me is get good mileage while keeping it easier to drive. Four door would be preferable, but not required.
Possible cars include:
- Saturn SL1 / SC1 (cheap and great mileage)
- Civic VX/HX (great cars but hard to find)
- 1st gen Insight (harder to find and expensive here)
- I wouldn't mind another Paseo, but it would NEED to be regeared.
- I'd also probably consider a manual Cavalier or Sunfire. Though I'd rather get something with a slightly smaller engine. They're still not rated horribly and some ecomodders have gotten some pretty good mileage out of them.
I also have my 1993 Tercel 4 speed manual that needs a fair amount of work. I'll be working on that once the Civic is finished up. So, in the mean time I'll browse for a Sunfire replacement. If I find one, thats cool. If I don't find one, its not a big deal.
