Fuel efficiency is very important to me with all the kid carpooling i do these days!
My next one will be a hybrid, even though I bought a car with good gas mileage last time.
I wanted a car that was made in my local area. My Mazda6 was built in Flatrock MI.
fuel efficiency because money is tight in this economy and so you want to get the most miles per gallon
We just bought a vehicle last year. It was the first time we bought a vehicle after having our two kids. Keeping them as safe as we possible can was the first thing on my list. Fuel efficiency was a close second.
I purchased a Hybird this time. It is the first hybrid vehicle I have ever owned and I have been very happy with it. It also had almost all the features that I wanted in a vehicle.
I bought a new vehicle two years ago. Fuel efficiency and safety were big factors, but my main concern was reliability in my price range. I did alot of research using Consumer Reports because I wanted data and opinions from real people and not advertisements. It was worth it. I decided on a Hyundai Elantra and I am very satisfied.
I wish I had job with car loved my Ford escort Miss it!
I need safe reliable transportation for New England weather. TRUE desire a red Ford Mustang!
I have always loved Honda's and Toyota's, I could have said Brand loyalty. But I chose an Acura for all the little extras and since it is made by Honda, I know I am getting a reliable car. I am so happy with my purchase.
