I still vote Chevy or Ford. : Our first truck (a Chevy) got over 250,000 miles on it before it bit the dust (it didn't really BITE it, but the transmission went out and we were in a different state so rather than wait for repairs we decided it was best to get a new vehicle). The only reason we traded in the second one was because it was too expensive for us right now, but it was a great vehicle, served us very well. My family has never had problems with Fords either, although I never owned one myself.

don't get me wrong

i may be an import guy

but when it comes to trucks i like american trucks

i like the corvette zeeohsix too heeh

when it comes to trucks nobody can touch american trucks

but we're talking cars here

and when you talk gas milage can't beat an import

[ReinnieR]

american engineers seem to think big big big better

the v8 guys swear to this

but you have this little honda civic with yoru 1.8L engine (a swap from an integra motor ofcourse) that can spank a viper

i mean c'mon

granted taht you have to put modifications on it
but it's still smarter and more practical with the higher gas prices that we face today

My VW Jetta gets the best mileage out of the seven vehicles I've owned in the past year. They cost between 17 and 23K.

As a long time reader of Consumer Reports, their stats show Toyota, Honda, and Subaru are most reliable.

I think the Toyota Echo is a steal. The Scion xA is [i]very[/i] nice too, and also stylish. Both are inexpensive.

(Scion is Toyota.) Get to a Toyota dealership and try em out!

I need a moped.

I've been looking a hybrids, but I can't afford that right now.

I drive a Chevy Truck.

praise God I live about 2 blocks from where I teach. And Mass is within walking distance.

I test drove a scion (the one that doesn't look like a box), and I loved it almost as much as the Civic

[Laudate_Dominum]

I like the phaeton:

Nice little 12 cylinder engine.

It's the xB that looks like a box on wheels. The xA looks like a slightly smaller Toyota Matrix (kind of a small "sport" wagon.)

Also, you can get side airbags in an xA. I side airbags.
