What's Your Ride?

[Lallapalalable]

Not really a car guy, but I do like to hear what other people drive, and it could be insightful for future purchases. Also, with a lot of members being from all over the world and all, some of the models you find to be dull would be somewhat exotic to foriegners.

I drive a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LS coupe, manual transmission. Nothing to brag about, as its the cheapest of an economy class, but the fuel economy is GREAT. I got up to 41.2 mpg on a recent road trip (also has a fuel economy display, which is novel to me as all my previous cars were from the mid-90's or earlier). Plus, there is just something about manual cars that make them fun to drive, so I love it and dont see mysel upgrading anytime soon (unless I win the lottery, in which case I will be getting an '88 Camaro with a ridiculously powerul engine, like a 450 or more).

Mine is a darker blue with a few more dents in the door, as some asshole decided a hit and run would be a good idea.

It's inevitably coming so I'll just get it out of the way early and say...

I own a Mazda 323F just like the one on the picture. It's a diesel so it's a bit dull and I sometimes regret not getting a petrol powered car. Average fuel consumption is 6,85 l/100km, although I drive mostly in a city.

White 2-door 2009 Toyota Yaris
pulls me nearly 40mpg on a 1.5 litre engine, and I drive about 2 hours a day. Very comfortable car to drive, and so far maintaining it has been cheap too. Had 26,000 miles when I bought it only a few months ago, already at 34,000.

@DepricatedZero

nice, I was pondering buying a Yaris, TSport version, damn it was quite quick for such a tiny car. Both that Yaris and my car are 2002.

...it's how I get around most places. That and getting lifts off other people.

 

[CosmicSpork]

2004 MG ZR Turbo Diesel, was originally 99bhp but I've 'tweaked' it, and it's now running more like 150bhp and heaps of torque (200+ lbs/ft) and still manages 45 MPG without trouble I've put a lot of miles on it, was at 73,000 miles when I got it 18 months ago, it's now got 96,500 :S Due for a service soon... contemplating doing it myself this time.

If you look closely you can see my wife's hand as she is 'flipping me the bird'.... how nice.
