Best mileage/daily driver car?

[Strokeorcroak]

Trying to find a tiny little rig i can mob around every day and keep the miles off my truck!

I dont want to pay much, but i dont want to be working on it constantly either. We have a Corolla and a Chevy tracker in the family and both are pretty decent.

What do you guys have that is older that seems to be holding up well and getting good mileage?

VW TDI, Derek. You can expect 35+ mpg hwy. Or an older Benz diesel. The girl's 83' 300D gets 30ish mpg on the highway, 25 mpg in town and has required almost no work. I change oil/filters and changed an EGR valve recently.

Keep it an oil burner though

Buy an old geo metro. 50+mpg and can be had just about anywhere for 100 bucks

yeah the Geo's have caught my eye...but they are spendy with the gas prices like they are around here..... a solid one is a grand!

[hookset]

How much ya looking to spend?

[Strokeorcroak]

honestly i drive my truck every day so anything that I can drive a couple days a week and split the time with my truck...

Something like 400-1500 probably... not over 1500 though, i dont need something shiny!
