so after this summer i will be giving my 02 mustang gt to my mom and i am gonna get a daily driver just for work and stuff

after a few years i plan to buy a new mustang (New edge Cobra or 2013 gt maybe havent decided)

do you guys have any recommendations on cars?

i want one with at least 36 mpg and under 20k

 

I like the fusion and focus good mpg and nice to drive. Are you interested in hybrids

 

possibly?

i dont really know a lot about hybrids at all, do they just use e-85?

i wont be really needing power though because its just a commuter car and regular driving

 

I had a focus 5 door for a rental, it was fairly decent. Only cost me 24.00 to fill it on E!

 

wow thats awesome haha

yeah i was thinking it would be nice to have a hatchback style just for more room and options

the 2013 fusions do look pretty nice to though

 

If you want something really cheap get a 1998 5 speed civic, I had one (sold it becuase it was boring slow) but I got 34 mpg city consistently because I would shift at low RPM's

 

Just get an older cheap car like the aforementioned Honda. Take care of it and it will last forever. Those cars are bulletproof if taken care of.

 

hmm i guess this is an option, but i kind of wanted a really reliable car that was newer

but i will consider getting an older one

at least i would like to get one in the 2000s

 

If you are looking at 36 mpg car, and you want to buy something used, then dont even bother looking at 1.8l engine cars, they simply wont do it. Even newer cars cant get that having n/a 1.8l or 1.4 turbo. you want that mpg constant get hybrid and i would suggest go with a new one since you don't know anything about them, that way you have a warranty on the car and if something goes wrong, well give the car to dealers they will fix it up. I would go with civic because i owned one 2005 ex, stick shift, was getting 31 mpg average.

 

im trying to get rid of mustang in favor of 2012 fusion sport but i could care less about fuel mpg haha
