Never in a million years would I EVER belive (I) would consider ever owning a vehicle with a (foreign name plate). And before the flameing wars start, yes I know everything around me has some foreighn parts in it...So take it easy, not the same thing :notam:
Being Mr. Harley, Ford Diesel, Corvette, and a Teamster etc...bla, bla owning this foreign (what ever) just never seemed right in my book...................BUT!
I'll need a good comuter, about 140 miles a day and looking for MPG, something that will last, and well...won't cost a arm and a leg :squiggle: !
Considered a VW TDI deisel...50 + MPG, sometimes a +300,000 mile vehicle (I love diesels) BUT...several told me VW's are headach's period ! Great Diesels but alot of aggravation
Then Ford Focus 4 door hatch back 5 speed. Heard some good things about them.
Just came from a test drive on a KIA :squiggle: Spectra-5, 5 speed 4-banger. Damn, I liked it...I liked it alot!
Under 14K w/ 10-100k warranty and some 35 mpg.
Tough descisions...
