Well as most of you know, or are finding out, most fox stangs are not daily driven, and i'm about to join the club, , my car breaks about twice a month and i'm tired of it. Don't worry, I'm not losing all my blue blood i'll be keeping her, but buying something new to drive everyday.

What daily driver should I get? I don't need anything fast, since I'll be keeping my mustang, I need something with a warranty(new), fuel efficient, and stylish, peppy is a +. (SUV's and PU's are out of question). At one point i didn't mind having a four door, but i keep changing my mind. Price range is from 16k-21k.
I've had my eye on a Scion tC, i dig the looks, its cheap and it gets like 22 city 29 highway. what do you guys think?

Go with a mazda. I like the mazda 6 but I couldn't get one with a 4 cylinder. I would get a 3s. Hatchback.....nice look, good gas, awesome interior.

We had a 2002 mazda protege5 before my son was born. It had great handling, decent gas mileage and a 100k mile warranty from the dealer. This car sold me on mazda. Now we have a 2004 Mazda MPV (These things happen when you have children....especially when you have two children that are 13 months apart).

save a pile of cash an just buy a Tempo. Really I had a 92 2.3 and that thing was awsome probly one of the best cars I had. I bought it for a winter beater and it took a beating never broke and was great on gas. I wish I had videos of the stuff I did to that car. My friends called it the rommainian rocket or the black bomber. It was like a street driven rally car. I was so hard on it and it lasted as long as I kept driving it. All I ever did to it was Exhaust and Oil changes every 3000 Km's.

Mazda 6.


I did the same thing two years ago. Bought a '03 GT as a daily driver. What a mistake.

Always liked the nissan sentra spec v. I have an older sentra that never let me down and the spec v's have the rockford system and a nice little motor.

Buy a used luxury car Lexus, Infiniti or Mercedes if you have that much cash. I own a 99q45t and it is the best car I have ever had hands down. I have had not one and I mean not one problem since I bought it.

I saw a 1977 Olds on E-bay today it only at 48K miles and I think the bid was up to 2500 dollars. If I wanted a good car that no one would ever park next to for fear of being knocked the hell out buy the door or afraid if you hit their car with your car it would demolish it I would look for something like that.
