i cant decide

nahhh

yeeee!! someone else who likes them!

 

I don't understand why ~17mpg isn't cutting it, if money(i.e. the cost of gas) obviously isn't the issue?

 

i drive 100 miles a day and get 25 mpg in the mini. and its fuckin auto. i was getting 30mpg with my old 5 speed taco. just a remember, get a 4 banger.

 

I say the camery for the MPG and large trunk. Used to drive one...

But you cant beat the xrunner's bed

 

scion, best out of all the options for better MPG

 

xtra cab, 5 speed, 4 cyl. taco. nuff said

 

this is also a option but the thing would be finding one

 

I would stick with something similar to your dads current 2wd daily driver. Or get a 2nd gen 2wd 4cyl 5 spd like i have! I'm seeing 25 mpg!

 

Id go with the camry. if you need a truck, you can drive the truck to work that day, no big deal. The camrys get awesome mpg...

 

I vote camry, but if it's mpgs you're after, my parents have a 2005 corolla, 4 cylinder, 5speed, that gets 41 mpgs highway.

 

The Camry would be good choice, my daughter in law has a 97 v6 and gets 22-28 MPG, my son has an 07 TC and gets around 30 MPG with zero problems, replaced brakes and tires only in 110,000 miles.

 

if you're not trying to sell your taco and want good mileage i would just buy like an early 90's honda accord. find one with 200k+ miles for like 800 dollars and drive the hell out of it. crazy great gas mileage and you can fix everything on it with a wrench and a pair of pliers.

 

I HAVE DECIDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






2006 TOYOTA COROLLA XRS 6 SPEED

skip the rice corolla and buy a early 1990's chevy s-10 4cyl 5speed 2wd.

I know its not a toyota but they're bulletproof and can be had for $1500 easy.

 

but.......but.....but im a Toyota man

 

lol I know but its just going to get worn out commuting right? Might as well beat on a truck you don't care about.

I did just realize they mostly dont have cruise control though, but my '91 Sonoma got 28 mpg easy.

 

really i havent decided im stuck between the corolla or a 89-95 5 lug toyota and using some of the money i save from not buying a newer car to turbo it

 

you'll never make up the cost of the car + insurance + taxes with improved gas mileage. even if you get a car for $500 once you figure in yearly tax and insurance you'd be better off just spending more on gas. this is if saving on gas is why you are you want to get a commuter which it seems to be

 

The tC was a fun little car man, had one for almost 4 years. Had windowns tinted, exhaust, cold air intake, 17in chrome tsw nogaro's on proxe fz4's. It was fast, reliable, and I got 27 mpg's. . . . O yeah and girls really do love the car. Didn't regret buying it.
