Like the title says, I traded my 200k mile a6 to my dad for a $500 01 Swift off Craigslist. My dad needed a car because his Mercedes s430 spun a bearing, and I lost my job and am doing food delivery. So I needed something with good gas mileage. My wife doesn't like the beat up little Swift, but it is growing on me. I used to think these were nothing cars, but this thing is actually a hoot to drive. I can't wait to get some stiffer springs and some 175 tires for this little sports delivery car lol. Anyways with aggressive driving I'm averaging 35mpg. And on a tank where I was using pulse and glide I was getting 48mpg on the fill up. High mpg is so easy on this compared to my old 89 vw fox I had a couple years ago.

I'm hoping with the help from this site I can make this a nice light weight sporty economy car.
