Alright, so I trust the advice of this board a lot, and your all a bunch of car nuts, so here is my deliemna. I've right now got a 93 audi 90. Which is to be honest a fairly nice car, when it runs right. My biggest problem is it's about to click 100K and I've already had a shit load of problems with it, and i'm sure 3 digit's will only secure my trip to something like a new clutch. The other problem is that i'm in the car almost every weekend putting on like 250 miles, and i'm a poor college kid, and premium being $2.30 a gallon, and 20 miles to the gallon just dosn't really cut it. So i'm looking to trade to something differnet that is fun to drive and economical (if that is Possiable). The car that immediatly comes to mind is a 1998-1999 Jetta wolfsburg or GT. Sorta sporty for a sedan and 30 mpg, however i'm not set on that so I thought I would ask, what do you think? Something sporty that get's good milage in this range?
Eric P.S. I won't drive a CIVIC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |

I bought a 96 Subaru Legacy for my daughter mainly for the AWD. I drove it a few times including in the snow and with the 2.5L engine, it goes pretty good with decent pick up and good handling. Relatively inexpensive to drive. Ours has 125K miles. Seen others with 180K and 200K miles. These things go forever. Unlike the A4 (I have an A6), won't cost an arm and a leg to keep on the road. In the snow the car is a blast. Driving it in the snow reminds me of watching the world championship rally races. Don't know what the weather is like where you're at, but if snow is a reality, consider the RU. If you want a really hot car, look for a WRX although you might need some more $$.
