After averaging 2,500 miles a month after buying the Z, I've gotten a Dodge Dart for real cheap as a daily and winter car. Kinda fun to drive, but the issues are scaring me and i might sell it soon. Same engine in the Abarth 500 (1.4T) with a 6MT. Averaging 25ish mpg compared to 19 in the Z, which is lower than i expected.

huh, if u want mpg, the Fit is actually pretty good. i got 40.2mpg when i borrowed my wife's for a week and i wasnt doing anything special.
when i asked the taxi driver how much his pos prius was getting in real world, he said 49-50mpg. dat's it? while contaminating the environment with its batteries? wtf. |

I played this in my environmental science class and the professor actually drove a prius.... luckily I still passed my class. She did not care for it but I backed up the claim with actual scientific research.

Getting a DD is like having a mistress. I love my wife and my Z so I don't need a DD. There are folks in Canada using their Z as a DD so if you love being in your Z, just put good winter tires on and use it. On the rare days when it's really bad outside, call a taxi or call in sick, sit in your Z in the garage.

I had a dart too, the rallye, until it was totaled. I actually enjoyed driving that car a lot. The MPG thing is true though, you never get close to what is advertised.

PS: You should see what my DD '10 Mustang looks like after 5 Canadian winters. You'd think it went through a corrosive acid bath underneath and along several body panels...........LOL. Let's not even talk about the aluminum hood. |
