New to Eco world and would like recommendations
Hello all!
My name is Dale I am a firefighter paramedic inspector in southwest ohio. I just started a new job that is 120 mile round trip 5x a day. Looking for recommendations on great vehicle. I am looking for a "work" car my priorities are 1. reliability 2. mpg 40+ 3. working a/c, 4. oh and a budget of $2500 tops.
Do not care on transmission choice, number of doors etc. Will probably upgrade the stereo and speakers to make the trip more enjoyable. I have started looking at Toyota Echo and Yaris both have a 1.5 non interference motor with a timing chain and seemed to be capable of 350k mile+ drivetrain life, runs on 87. Any personal experience with that platform or another you strongly recommend? TDIs are expensive for my price range and use more expensive diesel fuel.
Thanks for having me!
