Hey guys scooby's are not economy cars they have quite a thirst, my son was a WRC mechanic with the works team for many years and occasionally came home in one of the chase cars, yes it was bloody fast and boy could it drink gas!!  
If i were in the market for an eco compact i'd look real hard at the new VW Golf range they have some really nice models with good gas mileage's and good build quality.

Non-practical car I can (almost) afford: Shelby GT500

Practical car I can afford: Subaru Legacy Spec B

OK so VW is out of the frame. 

You could perhaps pick up a bargain Subaru WRX from Prodrive as they have just had the rug pulled from under them and there's 180 guy's looking for new work

one of my buddies wife has a WRX wagon, and it gets worse gas mileage in town than his Dodge RAM 3500 with the 6-liter diesel engine

So you recommend an uninspiring econobox (albeit good quality)? Honda makes one car I might buy, the S2000...

[TiAvenger]

I think the answer here is simple....

sell me the Volvo for 500 bucks





You know what Im thinking.

The vehicle from the factory is merely a canvas

much like the monster

besides

what else is there that is mechanically sound, excellent economy, warranty, and 15k?

I love my Honda Accord. 2003 V6 2 door with a 6-speed manual and Nav.

I would whole heartedly recommend one. Good power, decent handling, good fuel mileage with low maintenance costs.

Well yeah-Isn't he starting a business? One should save funds for other things.
