Fuel Efficient DD

Nismoracer · 01-13-2011, 10:48 PM

Thinking about getting a eco box for a daily driver. I have a truck which comes in handy but fuel effiecient it is not. The Juke is growing on me, have to see it in person and drive it. The other choice mitsubishi outlander sport. Both of these are a little more versatile than say a sedan, chevy cruze, mitsu lancer, all around the same price $20k or so. Anyone know anything about these or something else that is yet to come and that I should wait for?

Honda CR-V or Toyota Rav4
Good on gas + AWD + fits a lot of people + trunk space + cheap

My friend just got a hyundai elantra and for it's price he got amazing interior!
He got the 2011 model also.
I think you should take a look at that.

the most efficient one has to be a prius, right?
but they don't come with a manual transmission and are too common where i live.

Wow the new 2011 elantra is nice. This might be the next DD. under $20k 40mpg highway. A genesis is $40k+??? didn't think they made that expensive of a car. Hyundai and Kia steppin their game up. It won't be long until they are Honda Toyota status.

Check out the Hyundai Veloster Hatchback. It's coming out in spring. It's a three door car for about $17K with 138hp and 40mpg on the highway. You can also upgrade it to a dual clutch transmission.

Saw videos on this. Looks kinda cool. Don't know why they only put a 3rd door on the passenger side and not on both. They are going to quickly realize to put it on both sides. The saturns started like this with only on one side. Only 2500 lbs or something like that. Must be peppy.

Symmetry not included. Looks neat as long as you don't open the doors.

I bought my wife a 2010 Rav4. Get's good gas mileage, rides nice, and has plenty of space for everything we need.
