2 wheels good, 4 wheels easy

  • 项目

3 days before our wedding we bought a then-new 1996 Saturn SL2. It has served us very well, including protecting my wife very well in an accident. It took 7 years for things to start breaking. The family is growing, and now we might replace it.

I want our next car to be safe, comfortable, very reliable, and get excellent gas mileage. I want as little hassle as possible. I don’t mind an expensive car, except that I don’t like feeling nervous about breaking it, and extra features = extra things to break. I don’t need a sexy car; I’m sexy enough as-is.

    If you can live with a minivan, the Honda Odessey is really nice (two co-workers love theirs). Plus it is a Honda and therefore is safe, comfortable, reliable with great gas mileage. [http://www.hondacars.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Odyssey&bhcp=1&BrowserDetected=True]

    I would actually second that about the Honday Odyssey. It's reported to be the best mini-van. However, if you are looking for an actual car I would check out the Accord EX-V6, very safe and drives wonderfully (I own one). Oh yeah, and it's fast (at least faster than the other cars in it's class).

    Upcoming Honda Accord Hybrid will definitely fit your bill. If you want to go upscale, Lexus RX400 Hybrid SUV will also do. Both should be available this fall.

    Consumer reports agrees with everything else you say, except that the Honda Odyssey has "great gas mileage". CR says 18mpg overall. The Toyata Prius (a hybrid) gets 44mpg by their tests. It's right in the middle of the 8 minivans they tested.

    I don't think I could own a minivan, just because they're much more car than I need. My dad & wife #2 owned a minivan, which she drove solo 99% of the time. What a waste.

    Well, when my family grows some more, it may become practical. But until then...

    I had forgotten about Biodiesel. Time to learn more.
